What I want to see is a Black pocket quarterback get drafted high. Every Black QB drafted high has always been, "athletic" "mobile" "dual threat" other than Byron Leftwich. The fastest that Leftwich ever ran was when his teammates carrying him down the field (still one of the baddest team shits I ever saw in my life as a sports fan). When will a black QB come in and be able to do as Brady does, stand in the pocket and deliver rather than be expected to run all the time.
I feel that until a Black QB does that we still haven't gotten to where we need to be which is largely ignoring color and paying more attention to what is on the field than the color of their skin or the other shit that doesn't matter.
Can we see a black pocket QB, drafted top 5 please?
sorry godofwine you're totally wrong on this one
Cam newton was a pocket passer his rookie year and they changed it to the option offense last season. he threw for 4g's strictly from the pocket his rookie season.
if you mean you want a black quarterback who
isn't athletic good luck with that. We are natural athletes. None of that has anything to do with pocket passing.
if you want me to dig up the stats I will, but Kap and Wilson and Rg3 FLOURISHED at throwing from the pocket... thing is they can also do what those statue's in the backfield can't do, which is keep the play alive and keep their heads up and throw on the run.. what you think big ben does? same shit Russel Wilson was doing last season.
And brady wasn't drafted top 5 either.
plenty of white bread's have been though and don't count for much either.
don't let the athleticism tag be a hinder to what you see on the field.
Them white folks already don't like the fact that there are so many in the first place.
Took them bastards a decade to change the tuck rule, but only 1 season to change the rules when hitting a qb if they're running the read option
which is a crock of full fledged shit by the way.
because the read option is nothing but a fake hand off, or play action pass. you're showing the ball and faking it to the running back and that's all. that's been a part of the game forever, suddenly because they can't stop the qb...because black people are doing it and taking advantage of the holes it opens up and using those running lanes to destroy the defense... now you can be hit if you show that during the play? that's all it is. It doesn't make you a runner, it doesn't give you the option to run, so you shouldn't be treated like a runner and be allowed to be hit. peep game
they'll say well the qb now because of this SPECIFIC type of play is deemed a runner right?
but the old fashioned play action or fake pitch or other shit gives the qb the old protections.. why?
they'll say well it's different because it gives the qb the option to run..
which is crushed when you point out that every time the qb drops back... every qb from tom brady, to mark sanchez, LITERALLY has the option to run the ball, there is no rule that says if you take a drop back you have to pass is there? no.. didn't think so..
too much success, they're trying to discourage it. they know its here to stay.. you see they ain't make any rules to try and stunt the growth of the wildcat did they? NOPE
but this? proactive like a motherfucker huh
thing that they fucked up on is the fact that all of the qb's they're trying to stop.... Newton, Kap, Wilson, Rg3... are still ELITE pocket passers who can make EVERY THROW and are intelligent enough to grasp ANY offensive concepts..
