I won't hold my breath, but I'm waiting for the day when the media can bring itself to look at a quarterback as a quarterback, instead of a black or white quarterback.

As Morgan Freeman said, "Stop talking about it!"

In a recent ESPN radio commercial, the pundit points out that there are dozens of great college and high school quarterbacks, but only about four in the NFL.

The failure rate is very high no matter what color.

The problem is, these guys have always been the BMOC in high school and college, and it’s still mostly a game (although that is changing)

The NFL is a BUSINESS. And you play against guys who were all BMOCs in their schools. And players who excelled only due to their athletic abilities, quickly find that it alone isn’t going to work in the NFL. So for the first time in their lives, they aren’t Number One, they aren’t going to be coddled and be the hero every week. And some never can make that adjustment. That’s what has happened here.
