If he were Jackie Robinson or one of the firsts to play the position then what you say might be true, but we have had black quarterbacks for the last 30 years.  What he brings to the table is that he is big and can run as well as pocket pass not that he is black and can do all those things.  People who want to see race will continue to do so.  People who are prejudiced will also see what they want.  Some people may discriminate against him because he is black just like some may revere him and idolize him for the same reason.  I see him as my quarterback and dont care what he wears, says or looks like.  As long as he moves the offense and scores points, he will be my guy no matter what.

You don't get what i am saying...him being blk is not my stance him being everything plus blk is my stance...i am saying race is included and lumped in with all the other factors...Look at big ben he gets calls may not have when he first started but he does now..he is big and strong ...hell anyone will take off running and try to get away if they see the pressure and think they can escape..so escapability is hog wash..the only thing that separates him from ben is his color and personality which is stereotyped with blk race.

Like I have said before. People see and believe what they want to see and believe. It doesn't make it so.

Take some who compare Cam to russell wilson..Even tho both are considered blk. If you did not know their skin color and just gave a description of the two and asked which one was blk..Cam would be the vote hands down...Because his character is identified as being blk...most blks would consider russell an uncle tom..not really blk..it is the same notion that was set with slaves..We are race of many different shades (color, personalities)and some whites just can't handle variety so they welcome the russell wilson types and try to get rid of the Cams..not knowing that he is the best to have in any condition because he has seen and been thru it all.
