The problem is that too many blacks are brainwashed to believe that everyone is out to get them. All this crap validates their paranoia.

Nobody who matters cares.

The NFL and it’s fans like winners, not whiners.

If you are half-white and half-black does that still count as a black QB?

Take that out and the rest suck at QB! But then so does there team.

SF Gate has a bee in the bonnet because of Trey Lance and Koepernik before that and now a white guy kickin’ butt.

A Koepernick type kerkuffle would have been a concern of mine, if I had been drafting QBs.

The NFL as such is a form of corruption that should be eliminated. A hypocritical pretext for gambling. The same goes for college football, which is really just the NFL minor leagues and has nothing to do with “scholar athletes”.

Actually Gabriel was Filipino!

Which is hilarious, because in my limited experience, Filipino women are short, and Filipino men are shorter still.

He was among the first of the “Big QBs” - 6’ 5” & 225 lbs. Almost defensive end size. His college career was at North Carolina State.

Off the top of my head.... Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson*, Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith..... are all NFL QBs who are also black. Where’s the discrimination?!

*: I admit it’s debatable whether or not Russell Wilson is an NFL QB....

Oh, please! I don’t know the actual stats, but I would be surprised if the percentage of black NFL players was less than 95%.

I personally think there are not enough of Gods Chosen People in the NFL. You know the Jews.

I know! We haven't had a great Jewish tight end since Randy Grossman of the old Steelers! The NFL must be surreptitiously imposing quotas!

Can’t argue with that. White liberals are despicable people.

Tiger Woods used to get pissed off because the media would call him an African American golfer. He was only 1/4 Black.

Tiger pissed off a lot of the black media when he dared to call himself cablinasian*.

CA: Caucasian
BL: Black
IN: Indian or Native American if you prefer...
ASIAN: His mother is Thai...

RG III is the Cautionary Tale. Looked great that first year, getting the Redskins to the playoffs, then he got hurt, and that was all she wrote.

RG III seriously injured his knee in that game, and then Shanahan put him back in making it even worse. And yes, he was never the same. A real shame.

The problem is that QB’s really don’t need to be that athletic, it’s more of a mental position.

That's true but... it's even better if your guy is big enough to shed tacklers and fast enough to avoid them in the first place.

Even Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl. Think about that.

He did have the benefit of one of the best defenses of all time on his team too.

Yes Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl, and Dan Marino never did. Hey, Sam Snead never won a US Open (and Phil Mickelson probably never will). Life just ain't fair sometimes.

There is also an element of luck that sometimes helps

The same coaches (Reid, Shannahan, Pederson) and franchises (Eagles, Pats, Niners back in the day) have the magic touch developing QB’s.

I would put the Packers in there too. They deftly transitioned from one HoFer - Favre - to another in Rodgers. And yesterday when Jordan Love started the opener, he was just the third individual QB to open the season for the Packers... since 1991!

How do you explain that versus teams like the Browns, Bears, Jets, Seattle, and Chargers (last great QB was Dan Fouts, by the time he is done Justin Herbert may be up there too) who can never seem to find a QB?!
