    On the topic of black QB's, I hope Tyrod Taylor gets a legit shot to start somewhere. Same way Matt Schaub got a shot and even Matt Flynn after balling in one game. Word to Kevin Kolb.

    smh i thought 2013 would finally be the year folks would stop lobbying for Tyrod Taylor. let it go

    Has there ever been a starting QB thats Asian?

    Not in the NFL, but there have been several in college!!!

    Timmy Chang the goat.

    Statistically when he graduated he was lol.

    I remember him and Colt Brennan use to light ? up. They was a fun team to watch, only thing is ESPN would air they games at 1 in the morning.

    Chase Keenum, Graham Harrell and Colt Brennan surpased Chang.. But Chang was the NCAA leader in td passes and passing yards.. He was a backup QB in the CFL last I heard.

    But yeah Hawaii used to air it out big time.

    Chang is a graduate assistant working under June Jones at SMU now.

    Lol I didn't know Colt Brennan went to U of Colorado but caught a case and got kicked off the team.

    Dennis Dixon>>>Matt Flynn, Blaine Gabbert, ? -ass Brandon Weeden. Two of those three are starting, and Flynn got a big-ass contract for garbage time yards.

    Blaine Gabbert is the worst. I don't see how he isn't bashed and criticized more often. I guess because his team is so awful he gets a pass. But that ? is gabbage. Blaine Gabbage. Mjd down there wasting away. Smh

    I agree with him, why do they need to qualify his position by bringing in race. It's basically implying blacks are or have been lesser or not capable of. That's like someone saying black Harvard student, why can't i just be a Harvard student.

    B/C he's nondescript. Just another white QB. Not as recognizable and yeah in addition to being terrible, the Jags aren't in a big media market for NFL football.

    Hes right. He should focus on being the best QB, and not a black one.

    It's like a white guy at work telling you "you're pretty good for a black guy" It's the same damn thing.

    I remember this discussion about the life of black qb's always being one step away from being in the grave

    If they are drafted into a backup position , they almost never can get moved up the depth chart until the team needs to "rebuild" and blame the problems on him.
    Word to daunte cullpepper choosing to stay where he was rather than come back to the lions and be the scapegoat a few years back

    And the more disappointing thing is that a black qb can almost never be a starter again once they lose a starting job somewhere else

    Qb1 gets hurt and the team will call up any white scrub and give him a run
    Bruce gradkowski
    Josh mccown
    Luke mccown
    Tyler thigpin

    None of them dudes should be gettin a phone call over Dennis Dixon, vy, and t-jack

    And Troy smith

    WTF happened wit dude?

    He won just as many games for the niners that year as Alex smith and dude couldn't even get resigned

    U can't tell me he wouldn't be better than Brandon weeden, jake locker, Blaine gabbert , or all the bums that played for the cardinals the past 2 years

    An Asian QB would probably have it easy in the NFL because I doubt the expectations would be really high...kinda like Jeremy Lin in the NBA.

    Surely they'd be expected to read defenses well, especially if they're Harvard guys like Lin.

    Awe man
    Jason Campbell's treatment in the league deserves to be under review.
    Dude went thru like 4 different offensive systems in his time in DC. No one gives him any slack like they do/did for Alex smith.
    Alex smith got chance after chance with excuse after excuse.


    I expect Campbell and mcnabb to snap one day and say s the ? they been wanting to say

    Nah, I don't expect that, but it would be dope to hear the truth and not all thus PC ? they are expected to say.
    That's why I can understand why cam act how he act .
    Dude tryna get that upper echelon endorsement money.
    Dude been a walking advertisement since the rookie combine when he stopped to change shoes on camera
