NFL Exec.: Cam Would Be Clear-Cut #1, If He Were White (And Other Valuable Nuggets)

Would AJ Green be the first WR off the board if he was white - of course not. This isn't racism, just statistical success rates at this position.

there are going to be alot of disappointed fans on here when carolina trades down and takes Patrick Peterson.

That would make me orgasm all over my face. Say no to Cam =D

No, because White Men cant jump.

The whole racial bias discussion is very funny to me.

One side is convinced racial bias is every bit as strong now as it was 30 years ago..

The other side is convinced it doesn't exist.

And they are both right. I tried to dig through some old notes i had when Scot posted his "Race" quiz, but couldnt find anything. What i wanted to post is some real racial bias quizes that have been studied for a while now by many large well known universities, and you can be quite shocked by the results if you are willing to be honest with yourself.

The thing with the racial bias today isn't that it doesn't exist, and more often that it has shifted from a conscious mental activity to a subconscious one.

So just because you feel like you have no racial bias doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

So you have the scouts and talent evaluators who would say on their deathbed that they are not ripping someone like Cam because he is black, because that isn't intentionally what they are doing, but in fact him being black can heavily influence their evaluation and is why they assume he would be a bust and someone like gabbert gets the benefit of the doubt.

My own belief is this grey area is where most "racism" exists today

AJ Green used to be white, his name was Matt Jones.

A QB they turned into a WR.

I don't know if you saw Malletts broad jump or not...

[CRA]

If he were white he wouldn't be in the top 8. He'd be just another The Golden Calf of Bristol project.

lol, The Golden Calf of Bristol is basically a NFL FB playing QB. He isn't comparable to Cam.

[GritsRgreat]

In ten years it will be funny to look back and see how all of this panned out.

[HSCBandit07]

Yup, Cam is just a The Golden Calf of Bristol with character concerns. Shouldn't even be first round, but this draft kind of sucks. Where he lands will depend on how big a gambler the team that picks him is. High risk high reward in every sense of the phrase. If we pick him up I will be expecting and hoping for the best. If not, I hope he goes to the cowboys or redskins and fails miserably.

[HSCBandit07]

All the top QB's in this draft are busts to me

What is it to assume that every source who's said something bad about him to journalists and analysts is white?

Since I don't know the answer here is my question? How many NFL execs are black?? How about GMs, or even directors of scouting??

Is Gregory white or black?? Can't find a picture of him.

I would assume most of the people anyone will talk to higher up the ladder are white. But I don't follow things based on race so I could be way off.
