You have Mahomes and Russell Wilson (both half black?)....against; Brady, Manning x2, Stafford, Aaron Rogers, Carson Wentz, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Joe Flacco, Steve Young, etc. etc. even while there were plenty of starting black QB’s in the league.

Wentz wasn't starting, and Foles (just as pale) did the job for the Eagles. Shouldn't omit Warren Moon and Doug Williams (Theismann was INJURED, but Williams was fine in the 'skins SB win).

Combine athleticism with football smarts, and you have a winning combination. Mahomes falls under that category. And for non-black People of Color, Tua is great when not injured.

I’m not saying having both isn’t desirable...only that the data doesn’t appear to support that a better athlete at the QB position is more likely to produce a SB ring. Mahomes makes good decisions...so yes, having both is better but typically it’s unnecessary. That is what the data says, having a balanced team is required more than a superstar athlete at the QB position. It can’t be done all by one player in football, unlike many other sports where a single player can take over. I’d argue if you find yourself having to RELY on the athleticism of the QB you’re playing a dangerous game and exposing other problems on the team. One hit and that QB is out, who replaces them?
