Jerry Rice: Accuracy, not race, the issue with Cam Newton

[mav1234]

infraction oh noez:eek::eek::eek::eek::yikes:

but seriously, slavery was a big issue, racism still is, I just don't see how come that allows us to dismiss anything critical about Newton's play on the field.

I understand people getting upset over the fake smile and the misplaced thug label... though I don't think they are racially motivated by those who said them I understand that they COULD be. But his accuracy?? come on.

Jerry Rice said Cam had accuracy issues. That's how.

cmon be for real he said he doesnt think race is an issue as to refute Warren's claims not because he said Cam was inaccurate. Why do some try so hard to sweep racism under the rug:nonod:

so are you saying slavery was extreme or it wasnt because you called him ignorant for saying white americans took racism to the extreme

I'm saying other victims of slavery had it worse than black slaves in America. Big deal? Of course. Worst situation in the history of slavery? Not even close.

[mav1234]

well I'd be lying if I said when I posted this I didn't think it might go to racism, but I never thought it'd go to slavery.

[blackcatgrowl]

so are you saying we should draft Kodi Burns to throw touchdown passes to Cam Newton?

No, it was to make a point that a completed catch involves accurate passing AND good receiving.

The way TRD plays it out, most the catches in the reel are receiver adjustments. This is false.

P.S. I don't think they even showed the release on that ball in the highlight.

He said he thought the questions about Cam were not race related, but related to his accuracy. He said Cam had accuracy issues. He didn't say racism didn't exist.

I think his point was that Cam was inaccurate, not that Warren Moon was wrong.

Why is there not a facepalm smiley?

As a mod why even entertain the slavery talk? Why not just close or move the damn thread?

No. Because we're supposed to be talking about which player should be taken number one in the NFL Draft. And with all due respect to Adrian Peterson, that and slavery have pretty much nothing to do with each other :rolleyes:

He said he thought the questions about Cam were not race related, but related to his accuracy. He said Cam had accuracy issues. He didn't say racism didn't exist.

Pretty much, although it is implicit in his statement that he thinks Moon is wrong.

My well thought out post was skipped over in this thread. :(
