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.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
