Why are there no white runningbacks in the NFL..?

[Bear Pand]

The most amazing thing about this thread is some people are clearly being sarcastic, then you see other people go and cosign the sarcastic posts.

lol at u white guys tryin to make a weak ignorant ass statement and try to back it up. i think doug williams, warren moon, mcnabb, yes steve mcnair, and randall cunninghamm. are better and faster thinkers than most qbs to play in the nfl. just cause ur white doesnt mean u process information and react any faster than a black guy. look at brett favre(nfl's interception record holder). do u kno how many shitty white qbs have come and gone through the nfl? if black qbs got as many opportunities as white qbs get im sure their would be a more even balance of both at the position in the nfl. and saying that ur not benig racist is bullshit. ur blatantly sayin that black qbs r dumb asses because their black so fuck u

lol.

You can't be serious . You can't .

Lets look a a list of high profile black qbs
McNabb - Pick 2 - Nobody is picking a qb at pick 2 in the draft and not giving him a chance . Hell he even got extra chances at times in Philly
Vick - Pick 1 - Once again , nobody is going to pick a qb at one without giving him a bucketload of chances .He was even taken infont of LT , yes I mean the HOF runningback LT . (I know it sounds stupid now)
McNair - Pick 3 - Once again , nobody is taking a qb at 3 and not giving him every opportunity in the world to succeed .
Vince Young - Pick 3 - I am sure he is recent enough for you to remember .
JaMarcus Russell - Pick 1 - Well , the fact that they haven't lost the faith in him already speaks volumes .
Randall Cunningham - Pick 37 (I think) - The eagles already had a pro bowl quarterback in the team at this point , had intrest from various other teams in the draft . Was given a shot a succedding Jaws when he retired
Josh Freeman - Pick 17 - Drafted to be the Bucs next franchise qb

I could go on but I am sure you get my point by now . When a black qb has remarkble success in college he is drafted high if they think he can suit the pro game . If anything black qbs can be even more highly thought after because of their "raw talents" . They have as good of an arm as white qbs (even better sometimes) . While also having ability to make plays with their legs . Something alot of NFL teams go weak at the knees for .

As for the whole proccessing info thing , I don't really have a standpoint on that ..... but to say Black qbs don't get a chance while white ones do is laughble.

couldnt i come back and make the same list for white qbs but my list would be a tad bit longer cosidering the fact that at least two of them go in the first round every fuckin year....

That's because there is generally more white qbs , esepically ones who suit NFL systems more . When a dominant black qb comes along and scouts think he can make it in the NFL he is usually very highly thought of .

Wow,

I guess this is one of those threads where I get to realize 3 or more people are fucking idiots in disguise.

what a disgusting piece of garbage to even begin debating about.

I know, to say that whites aren't suited to play the RB position is just ridiculous.

Warren Moon was a awesome black QB, Id take him any day. Giants used to have Sean Bennett at HB who looked like the real deal but got hurt similar to Sehorn

Correction. Warren Moon was a white guy in black face. Well known fact.

Exactly. And everyone who is complaining, post your facts and opinions. Stop sitting there and crying and holding onto the racism card as a crutch. I'm not being racist, I'm stating facts.

As I've stated before, black quarterbacks generally have the same athletic abilities as the white quarterbacks out there. Mike Vick can throw farther than Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb is just as accurate as 99% of the quarterbacks in the league. What separates them if it isn't physical abilities? Maybe it's the fact that the black quarterbacks who come in don't have as good of a football IQ as the white quarterbacks. I'm not saying that they are dumb as a person, but when it comes to football they are not the best decision makers.

And maybe it is what Davie said, the fact that most black quarterbacks are more athletic so they turn more towards the athletic side when things go wrong rather than just dropping back, making a read, and making a throw.

If I approached this thread the same way as everyone that is complaining, I would be bitching and moaning about how you guys think that white runningbacks aren't as good as black runningbacks because they're white and they don't get any chances. But I'm not because it's not true.

Randall Cunningham = Fran Tarkenton with a high top fade?

 

[ChemTheThriller]

You didn't mention Akili Smith either Messenger...

I agree, if you look at it black and white (no pun intended) black QBs are generally less successful... Give me a reason why? I highly doubt it's pure luck...

 

[NAHSTE]

LOL at this thread still going strong on pg 11.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Exactly.

Swing and a miss.

For you maybe, but I understood the point of your post. The second sentence had nothing to do with "Exactly". It was just "Exactly" by itself then I went on to my own argument.
