Sorry, but history speaks for itself.

You name a star white running back and i'll give you a star black qb. I'll wait.
Larry Czonka?
John Riggins?

I'm not a generalist, I'm a realist.

I'm not going to kid myself or try to stay between the lines.

You show me a list and you'll see my foot in my mouth. (it's not going to happen)

Well race really doesn't have anything to do with it, but the 'Joe Webb bandwagon' annoys me. I don't know why you consider "Joe Webb, the QB of the future" but many love Webb because he's "A QB strikingly similar to ______" <---- That '______' is typically Donavan McNabb, Steve McNair, Jamarcus Russel, or Vince Young"

Call it racism if you want, but watch any football analyst show, or read any sporting publication and they all refer to Joe Webb as a "McNabb-Type QB" or a "Vince Young type Quarterback". Why? Because he's black? Or because he actually plays like those QBs?

Joe Webb - 6'3'' 230
McNabb - 6'2'' 240
McNair- 6'6'' 280
Vince Young - 6'5 230
Doug Williams -6'3'' 230

I've seen him draw comparisons to all these guys, and I think it's based strictly off of race. Just because he's a 'big black scramblin' QB' doesn't make him similar to any of these guys. All of these guys we much different type of QBs.
