The NFL presents itself as America’s most cutthroat meritocracy. And yet evidence continues to show that teams screw up the single most important decision they make due to racial bias.
From 2010 to 2022, teams were chronically underrating Black quarterbacks in the draft, a new statistical analysis from SFGATE shows.
QBs selected in those drafts had four times better odds of reaching at least one Pro Bowl if they were Black. SFGATE’s analysis found a statistically significant gap between the rate that Black quarterbacks reached the Pro Bowl relative to their peers despite controlling for draft position.
At every stage of the draft, the average Black quarterback outperformed their non-Black peers. In fact, the analysis found that the average Black quarterback was more likely to receive at least one Pro Bowl selection than the average non-Black quarterback selected 66 picks (roughly two rounds) earlier. The evidence strongly suggests that racial bias is blinding teams in the draft process, leading them to prefer inferior quarterbacks as long as they’re not Black.
In other words, Black quarterbacks are penalized in the draft solely for being Black, our analysis suggests, and it’s a penalty that reverberates years into their professional careers.

Yet, these freaks see fit to whine about how victimized these players are?
Nothing to say but BS!!! You as much as tell any black man that his shoes don’t match his pants and you got a lawsuit. Let’s not start with this BS especially when the NFL is totally woke.
Both QBs in last season Super Bowl were Black.
I personally think there are not enough of Gods Chosen People in the NFL. You know the Jews.
Same goes for the NBA.
There are also way too many French Canadians in the NHL.
When pro athletes started kneeling at the National Anthem I divorced pro sports leagues.I haven’t watched a single second of an NBA,NFL,MLB or NHL game since since early 2020.
I guess the NBA discriminates against whites.
And don’t get me started on how it treats Hispanics.
Yeah, right. Because the owners would rather have a losing white QB than a winning black QB. Get outta here. It’s about money and winning. Black, white, red, yellow or brown, if you can win that means money.
What fools to believe business would sacrifice money and profits for bigotry and racism. Any business.....lending to football.....money talks.
I watched a game yesterday where at no point did I ever count more than 3 white guys on the field.
I’d like to see the statistics to see if the league chronically underrates White receivers.
Anthony Richardson looked horrible last year at Florida, and he was still taken 4th in the draft.
“ personally think there are not enough of Gods Chosen People in the NFL. You know the Jews.”
OJ Simpson, not a Jew.
But I hear his agent is.
Too many Hispanics in baseball.
Especially Dominicans
Oy Vey!
He can’t even beat out Dak in Dallas.
I’m sure wonderlic scores and the ability to read defenses, and make the correct call have nothing to do with this. Nothing at all. Nope.
Tom Brady and his three kids don’t count.
The existence of the Negro Felons League is proof of the success of the largest “Affirmative Action” program the world has ever seen.
RUSH was right about McNABB.
But did they make a comparison of QBs that identify as Black?
The underlying premise here is that they are great quarterbacks simply because they are born black.
The Negro Bangers League is a close second.
