Why No Asian Quarterbacks? Huhhhhhh?!?!?!?!

Is the NFL 60% asian? Does the NFL have a long history of denying asian QBs and converting them into WRs, special teams players, and waterboys? You guys are a sad bunch. Deflection is your middle name, and rather than address the obvious problem at hand you'd rather act like it aint there.

the problem i see is people who let race become a determining factor in their thought process/decision-making. that, KT, is you.

I thought the sarcasm was pretty lame, but that is a legitimate question to me. Where are the Asian players in general? Granted, the US is only about 3% Asian, but I still think that there should be more represnted in US sports. Outside Timmy Chang(who's is a free agent in the CFL), Haruki Nakamura(whose on the injured reserve of the Baltimore Ravens), and a Chinese-American O-lineman somewhere in the Big 12 whose name I can't remember(but he is a high projected pick for fututre drafts), the group isn't really represented in the football ranks. And American Samoans don't count. I'm surprised that some football(college specifically) coach in the offseason hasn't gone to Hawai'i or even Japan to try and covince some up and coming sumo wrestler to switch professions, like that guy off The Replacements.

Hell, a much better question would be where are the Hispanics? Hispanic people are the second largest ethnic group in the US, but yet they make up fewer than like 1-2% of the NFL. I really don't think the idea that 'football is soccer' to most Hispanics really flies nowadays, at least to the ones who reside in the US from a young age. The strange thing is, there has been plenty of successful Hispanic players despite the lack of flow. Tom Flores, Anthony Muñoz, Junior Seau, Donnie Edwards,Tony Gonzalez etc.

If the Roger Goodell wants the NFL to be a legitimate international hit over the general joke it is outside the US and Canada, then he needs to address it.

And I swear, if I see one more post in a forum from some European saying football players are pansies because they wear pads while Rugby players don't, I will throw something.

I'm thinking it's the genetic makeup. Asians are generally smaller-framed. I saw a special on Discovery or TLC about the genetic makeup of people of African descent having muscular tendencies that enable superior running and jumping ability - and that the area of Africa from which they come impacts that muscular structure.

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
