No. I haven't noticed anything like that. You must be one of those people that sees a racist behind every fence post.

Like Leonard Pitts.

Black quarterbacks were usually thought of as athletic but can't read defensives good enough to play the position Michael Vick is a good example if that.

The problem is many were overlooked and not given the same chances as the white scrubs like Tim tebow. The fact that Tim is in the league is racist within itself he just sucks a big one.

You can tell when a black man fits the mold that whites love, rg3 was deemed as intelligent and well spoken much like Obama was during the 2008 election.

The issue really is business the majority of revenue comes from southern whites And its not that their racist they just feel blacks are just dumb all around like many cd posters like the one I'm quoting right now.

To keep revenue you have to appeal to your audience.

Vince Young is a horrible quarterback. And he is truly stupid. That's just who/what he is. Has nothing to do with the color of his skin. He is broke already.

The revenue flows when the team wins. That's it. It doesn't matter what race the QB is. Southern white men like fast powerful running backs and great wide receivers, who are usually black. They don't care as long as their team scores more than the other team.

Baloney. The Washington Redskins have made money every year and have not sniffed a SB in over 20 years.

I don't think that is baloney, at all. I suspect the Cowboys have made money every year as well. The Redskins fan-base has seen quite a resurgence with RGIII coming on board. Why is that? Because they started winning. Romo and the Cowboys, while making money, has the stalest fan-base. You lose, people quit caring.

Well if anything this is a stupid thread with racist undertones!
Answer me WHY almost all defensive backs are black?
Why are tailbacks almost always, if not always black?
Why are most all receivers black?
Why are most defensive linemen black?
Why are most linebackers black?
Then why are most centers white?
Why is there a good mix on offensive linemen, both black and white?
Why are most all kickers and punters white?
Going with the above, why are most quarterbacks white?
To think that the reason for a white quarterback is just pure racism, please explain the reasons for the other positions, is that racism too?

I think you'll see Tarvaris Jackson have a long career as a back up. And Charlie Batch has been a back up QB for a long time. 5+ years.
