Where are the Hispanic quarterbacks?Jim Plunkett and Joe Kapp were both half-Hispanic, and Plunkett did win a Super Bowl. Two I believe...

The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest; it’s a piss-poor measure of ability.

I admit it’s debatable whether or not Russell Wilson is an NFL QB....
He was, even if he really isn't any more. His high performance run lasted longer than Joe Namath's, who is considered a legend.

I’d like to see the statistics to see if the league chronically underrates White receivers.
Well, there's always Cooper Kupp. He isn't the fastest, buthe is always open, catches everything, and gets good yardage after the catch.

Tiger pissed off a lot of the black media when he dared to call himself cablinasian*.One of the reasons I love Tiger Woods.
I'm mixed race and we shouldn't be labeling everyone nowadays. We should be past that by now.
To: NohSpinZone
Okay so a weak team in a weak division recruits a QB. The QB or that team has an oversized impact and gets to the pro bowl.
Meanwhile a strong team in a strong division recruits a quarterback. The QB impact is nominal overall and doesn’t make the pro bowl.
These two quarter backs may have the exact same statistics, but the first is
More likely to wind up at the pro bowl. Yet race has nothing to do with it.
To: NohSpinZone
Yet, there is no evidence of this discrimination.
Why is it that the rest of the NFL is 56% black compared to their 12% across the US?

LOL. General managers would sell their sisters into slavery if it would get them a franchise quarterback. Skin color is irrelevant when the stakes are that high.

The SF Gate might try to do something constructive, like concentrate on San Francisco’s problems.

“and Dan Marino never”
IMHO, probably the best quarterback to never will a SB.
It makes you really appreciate how incredibly great Tom Brady was. Played in ten Super Bowls. Lost three. Won seven.
To: woodbutcher1963
Elway never won until he had Terrell Davis. Marino never had that luxury.

Brady didn’t exactly have great running backs around him all those years.

KC and Miami have black adjacent QBs, so they don’t count. lol. Actually, Tua Tagalouia is Hawaiian Islander.

Yes he was. It was a comment not influenced by race, but on success.

My brothers wifes Uncle Roman. He was my favorite player BITD. The NFL was such a rough league, that his team missed the playoffs because they went 12-2 in 1968. Colts went and lost to the Jets that year. If only they wouldn’t have gotten drunk the week before that game. We would never have remember Namath.

Roman Gabriel was Hispanic, I believe.
And was the beginning of a nice line of pro QBs from THE North Carolina State University.

...but do you want your QB to be doing that? (injury probability)...and bias your selection of QB with that being a primary trait? vs. being composed, standing in the pocket, and delivering to the right target every time?

.
From 2010 to 2022, teams were chronically underrating Black quarterbacks in the draft, a new statistical analysis from SFGATE shows.
There is no statistical analysis that accurately rates anything in sports. Otherwise, there would be no gambling industry.
