The Double Standard For Quarterbacks

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 

Truth is that most white corners in high school are never recruited as corners by major colleges so they have no chance to make nfl. Even if they run 4.4 or 4.5. Cmc was an al world high school corner and I m sure there were other excellent high school prospects who were never recruited or asked to change positions stereotyping early on

Anything Young Turk related is garbage.

 

Cam is unfairly critiqued by people who don’t understand or truly watch football but most other black QB aren’t. If there was a double standard Kyler Murray would have never been drafted. The double standard for black QBs died a long time ago. The fact that Jameis Winston with all those weapons he had and still has, has underperformed for 5 years straight and somehow still has a starting position is mind boggling

Agreed, once they hit college I’m sure they are switch or voluntarily switch to positions of higher success, especially if the goal is to make it to the nfl

I thought dual threat meant dual threat. Not half threat. This is dumb. Trubisky was touted as a dual threat coming out of UNC and he’s white as snow. 
 

I miss the time in sports when everything wasn’t about damn race.

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?

I said cmc was the best slot WR option on the team. CMC still is the best catcher of the football right up there with Smitty. He is not the ideal back for 3rd 1 or 4th and 1. He is light in the ass and is best when Norv puts him in space. Thats where he thrives. Thats hit super power. Stop Jeremy. You have been off your meds lately. Vegans are supposed to unite not have soy beef.

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.

Find the actual quote. You guys love taking things out of context when you run of of things to say. Especially you two. Bunch of huddle bullies.

"He is a slot WR"

 

Lol

some of us were alive when it was an actually real thing.  when it was 'common knowledge' that black guys couldn't play qb.   the diluted thoughts persist in some but its been great to see that myth get put to bed.

Cam gets crap for dressing weird but Minshew is idolized for dressing like a 70s porn star

Lest me not forget Fitzpatricks look from last season.

To be fair to him, cmc did not look like an Alvin, Gurley, Zeke type back early on. He has VASTLY improved his strength and ability to break tackles. I totally get where KK was coming from, but a lot of us thought he would get there with NFL strength training.

mintchew is getting love because its hilarious and reminds us of uncle rico.  he's not being serious or trying to be high fashion.   clinton portis got so much love for his characters.   cam is dressing like a babushka and taking it seriously.  do you see any difference here besides race?  cam gets made fun of because he takes his outfits seriously.  he's not playing a character, he's trying to be 'high fashion' with no sense of humor.    that's what makes it funny, but not in the same way.   it would be no different if he was white, sorry

This is spot on. 

I have never been one to make fun of Cam's clothing at all. I always have stuck up for him. He should dress how he wants to dress. 

However, fans like it when players don't take themselves too seriously. Fitz doing a presser wearing another guys outfit that clearly wasn't his style.  Or Minshew with a ridiculous porn mustache and headband that is obviously for comedic effect.  Josh Norman in that wrestling mask after games was amazing.  Portis was great at it. 

Tons of fans make fun of Russel Wilson dressing like a middle aged dad or Matt Ryan looking like a walking tampon. 

Cam is interested in cutting edge high fashion. Football fans typically hate cutting edge high fashion.

walking tampon.  omfg.  its so true.  and russel's dad jeans are hilarious, specially because the way he's built they look like mom jeans on him
