Does anyone else find this offensive?

Last night during the Dallas/Skins game the announcers were talking about the NFL rule that a team must interview a minority before hiring a new HC. Snyder interviewed one of his coordinaters and asked Goddell if that counted. Does anyone else find this offensive?

I find it offensive because, imo, it seems like minorities that are being interviewed can be under the impression that they are there only because of the color of their skin and not their abilities.

The NFL is a billion dollar business. Doesn't it make sense for owners to hire the best coach regardless of the color of their skin. I wanted Singletary for Carolina. I thought he was the best coach for us because of his intensity and history of winning as a player. He knows how to win and won't settle for less.

Am I just wierd or something because I think this is just flat out insulting?

So what if he has an eye on another guy what dose it matter that guy is gonna get the Pos. I mean there are plenty of good black coaches in the NFL. If the Redskins dont want them hell thats there loss. Why dose everything have to be put under a microscope these days.

:slowly backs out of thread:

:.picks up ten foot pole, then drops it:

Really, threads about race never go over well anywhere. Just let the NFL do what they think is best, and hopefully we get more and more black coaches in professional sports.

It most of the time hits the tinderbox real fast.......

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
