The Black QB

[Ubeja Vontell]

Look at how things are going right now...

Highest paid....Russell Wilson
MVP....Patrick Mahomes
Number one draft pick...Kyler Murray
Leading Heisman candidate....Jalen Hurts

That ability to escape the pocket, extend plays, plant that...run? pass?...seed, is where things are heading. No backer ever has to worry about Eli, Rivers, Brady, Dalton, running the football. That can't be said about those mentioned above.

Lamar Jackson is what we see at Arizona(faster than Jackson), Oklahoma, Ohio State, and all over college/HS football nowadays, that mobile QB, a guy who can scoot 30 yards, extend plays.

The first black QB's were Willie Thrower, Marlon "Magician" Briscoe, James Harris, "Jefferson Street" Joe Gillum. (can't really count Fritz Pollard) but none of them made any impact.

It started with Doug Williams, Warren Moon and Randall Cunningham, they proved that yes blacks can play NFL QB.

My Top 10

1.Warren Moon....Oilers/Washington
2.Russell Wilson.....Seahawks/Wisconsin
3.Patrick Mahomes....Chiefs/Texas Tech
4.Donovan McNabb....Eagles/Syracuse
5.Steve McNair.....Titans/Alcorn
6.Randall Cunningham....Eagles/UNLV
7.Dak Prescott....Cowboys/Miss State
8.Cam Newton....Panthers/Auburn
9.Michael Vick...Falcons/Virginia Tech
10.Doug Williams...Buc's/Grambling

Today there are more black starting QB's than ever before.

Can't ignore....

DeShaun Watson
Kordell Steward
Daunte Culpepper
Jeff Blake
Rodney Peete
Vince Young
Colin Kaepernick
Lamar Jackson
Jacoby Bissett
Teddy Bridgewater
Tyrod Taylor
Andre Ware
Vince Evans
Akili Smith
Geno Smith

So how did the old negro leagues survive?

I think more black athletes today would rather do other sports.

Russell Wilson...choose football
Kyler Murray.....choose football

I think that's the norm.

where it starts is money though. That is why soccer is so big. Some aids invested country rolls up a bunch of 49er champion Scarves and they start kicking it around until on the 11th birthday they are given an AK47 and sent to genicide some other country

Then why do these poor Latin countries pump out baseball players at high rates

Same here. Father was from Manila. He loved Roman Gabriel.

I have a lot of black friends, all love basketball, then football, nobody ever talks baseball.

I am an historian of blacks in sport so can talk Cool Papa Bell, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Mayes, McCovery, Davis, but not a baseball fan.

When I read.....who gives a **** about race.

Why do we constantly see this kind of thing?

Charley Frank Pride (born March 18, 1934[1]) is an American singer, musician, guitarist, business owner, and former professional baseball player. His greatest musical success came in the early to mid-1970s, when he became the best-selling performer for RCA Records since Elvis Presley.[4] During the peak years of his recording career (1966–87), he garnered 52 top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 30 of which made it to number one.

Pride is one of the few African-Americans to have enjoyed considerable success in the country music industry and one of only three (along with DeFord Bailey and Darius Rucker) to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2000.

In 2010, Pride became a special investor and minority owner of the Texas Rangers Major League Baseball club.[5]

Apparently it is important.

See, this is where you lose everyone

What the hell does Charley Pride have to do with black QBs?

[Mennonite]

Well, if the Chiefs had drafted him in 83 they may not have won a SB but they would have had a lot more top 10 hits on the Billboard charts. And that's just a fact. If you can't admit that at least, well maybe you need to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror and admit that you might be just a little bit racist.

*casey kasum voice* From hits on a quarterback to hits on the chart. Here comes the #hit from Frank Clark called 'Their asses are going home feat. Drake

[Mennonite]

Did you know that Casey Kasum did the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo? And that the Harlem Globetrotters once made an appearance on Scooby Doo in a very special episode? And, furthermore, did you know that those very same Globetrotters are, in fact, negroes?


Jimmy the Greek was right - those people are just naturally better at solving mysteries. We just have to stop being so pc and admit it's true.

You're a historian of blacks in sport? Where'd you get this degree at?
