for the most part , its a bet against as a whole.... athleticism is there , but decision making has always been a big obstacle... Watson hasn't had enough experience to break the cycle or mold yet.. Do the black QBs with white mothers count ?
This comment has no backing..Please elaborate on the: 'Decision-making has always been a big Obstacle'....So the African-American QB is worse at making decisions???! That's absolute Horses*it! You want me to list all of the White QB's that have made repetitive errors...How about Phillip Rivers for 1 example. Keep these comments to yourself. SO STUPID
What's STUPID is being PC ! clouds your judgment with the big picture .. White QB's aren't the issue here. I can go on and on all day about River's and other white QB's in this league that make bad decisions.. I'm not touting all white QB's can get the job done or has the poise needed in the clutch....I just haven't seen hardly any black QB's master the poise in the pocket , great decision making that's needed to win in the postseason and a SB...clutch time , they usually fall apart.. to say otherwise , you would have been broke by now betting away futures etc.. ,and probably been gone as a member of this forum along time ago.. so maybe you should keep your comments to yourself …..
What do you say that isn't PC? I haven't read the whole thread obviously.
You don't think black QB's have the intangibles needed to win at the highest levels of the NFL?
You can't give me hardly any examples where I'm wrong.. It can happen though if the stars are aligned right.. a weak field , or a super team where you're more like a game manager or the primary focus of the team ( Doug Williams ) for example...
I don't even know your opinion, that's why I asked.
You don't think black QB's have the intangibles (poise, decision making, leadership) needed to win at the highest levels of the NFL?
If that is true, what are they lacking? Or why do they lack these attributes?
Have no idea why they're lacking in the clutch. just something I've picked up on along time ago. .Most can get the job done , til we get into the elimination playoff setting.. I'm not rooting against them , unless its a opposition play of course. etc..
I think a lot of the lack of success of black QB's in the past (compared to success at other positions/other sports) has been due to cultural barriers/stigmatization. The best/smartest athletes weren't pushed into the position, their coaches tried to turn them into something they weren't, being they were from disadvantageous backgrounds they didn't get the specialization growing up, they got hurt from running too much, etc
But now sports has pretty much been gentrified at the amateur levels. A lot of these kids are kids of athletes from past generations, they grew up upper middle class/rich, they all get the same specialization tat a young age, if you are from the hood they basically give you an AAU daddy at like 13 now. So a lot of these cultural barriers have largely been removed.
So even if you did grade black QB's with skepticism in the past, I think their overall deficiencies is largely a dead issue now and you should start grading each 1 on an individual color-less basis.
These guys upbringing/surroundings growing up got more in common with Peyton Manning than say, Allen Iverson.
I can't argue with anything you just stated. .things do change..maybe its changing now..if you have noticed and banked on certain trends over the years , you pretty much bank them in your memory.. until further notice. Might take the right circumstances before it happens..
Lmao.
No one knows what the fuck you are saying. The first issue with what you’re saying is you don’t even know who is black and who isn’t. You bet against black QBs a lot in the playoffs? But you don’t consider Russell Wilson or Pat Mahomes “black QBs”
Lmfao. Who else makes it? Or who has made it that you remember betting against and profiting from?
Russell Wilson is a pretty damn good QB with two Super Bowl appearance and one win over Peyton Manning. And Wilson doesn’t have any white parents. So what are you saying? Provide some substance to your posts for one time in your life.
Mcnabb? Didn’t he go to 3 straight nfc champ games?
So that would suggest that he won playoff games before those nfc champ appearances.
Who are these black QBs in the playoffs that you profited so much from them that you can’t get this lucrative theory out of your head? Lmfao.
