Solid but not the star he’s already been touted as by the media. Every year it’s a new black QB that will change the game. Oh they change the game alright. Running QBs in the NFL take hits and get hurt. They change the game for their teams while they sit on the bench and heal.
Meanwhile, there was this guy named Warren Moon once upon a time. Pretty darn good QB but didn’t inspire the media with any thuggish qualities. And there’s a young man in Tampa Bay named Josh Freeman. Kid has the tools to be a star for a long time in the league. Hear anything about him as the next best black QB? Nope. Josh is black but not a thug either, so you never will.
The media sickens me. How about instead of anointing someone as a star you let them earn the title?
The funny thing is that none of them ever seem to improve. Think about it. They all show potential early in their careers and progressively get worse as time goes by. You saw it with McNabb, Culpepper, Vick, and you are seeing it with Newton this year. The body breaks down a lot faster with that style of play. Most running backs can’t even last a full year or play at a very high level over a career and they are built for and train for that punishment.
