If you play good, you remain on the field no matter your paint job.

100% 

Many want to hear their specific social media. You can make a cause for anything. 

WIN.

End of story ... WIN ...make money , no one cares about anything else despite what/how people care to frame it . 

WIN.. nothing else matters in this business called “sports” . Wake up

There is definitely a double standard for QB's. Hopefully it is getting better.

 

Also, KK, is CMC still just a slot receiver to you?

There is a double standard... but it goes both ways. White vs black for QB, Black vs white for WR/RB (really any skill position..)

in a perfect sports world, winning is all that matters and people are gauged by their level of play but there is a general distrust of black quarterbacks being able to be successful at this level. There are terms used that white counterparts seem to avoid even if it clearly describes them. The video clearly explains that with statistics, and quotes from supposed knowledgeable nfl scouts/gms. And honestly, I’m not sure why because they should be in the business of winning and drafting/grooming the best available talent.

glorified Wes Welker or something like that?

A good, thought provoking video that I didn't want to see in here because it will bring every Tinderbox troll slithering from their hovels to snipe at each other. 

Be. 

Gone.

Wish these topics would remain in the litter-box, Id enjoy discussing with the right people. The extremes on both sides ruin that. They will never change their viewpoint if it hurts their agenda, regardless of facts and logic.

Yeah, considering KKs talk about CMC, he may not be the best one to point this out. 

Solid points he's making, but still a bit of pointing fingers at himself.

Thoughtful and reasonable discussions have become rare in the past decade. People get behind their devices and get all filled with the bravado of complete anonymity. Funny that when I have these discussions face to face with people then they tend to be much more reasonable.

here is a old but great article about that- https://deadspin.com/a-nation-of-echo-chambers-how-the-internet-closed-off-1674576436

Way ahead of its time, glad I saw it then. Its a shame what happen to deadspin, years ago it was in my daily folder.

I also find it very intriguing that the nfl haven’t had any white cbs since 2003, I know Julian came in and played emergency slot cb but I thought that was crazy

What about bad Qbs who start and continue to start even on different teams 

Remember the Blaine Gabbert on  the 9ers is just as good as Cam argument early in 2015
