It doesn't matter. ALL black qb's that want to get drafted in the first round SHOULD be drafted in the first round. If they aren't then all owners and GM's are RACIST FOOLS.

There aren't any white cornerbacks. There should be, but they are often playing other positions or other sports. There are plenty of white players inthe other positions you mentioned.

Geno Smith after being drafted " Yo um dis is a great oppotunity umm yo I is exstatic bout bein drafted by da New Yok Jets". THis guy is Vince Young reincarnated except not as physically gifted as Vince. He'll be with the jets for one year, after which Rex Ryan will be canned. Tebow will be happy he was released from this vile, underachieving, inept organization.

But white players don't get the chances to prove themselves as running backs etc. due to racial bias against them.

<turnabout>

Not to mention the racial bias against Asians, whom are grossly underserved in the NFL and other pro-sports.

See, it's redlining....just the absense of Asians in the NFL is enough proof so that we should instituted some programs to give them the opportunities they've been denied. There needs to be some scholarship set asides in Div 1 as well as diversity training for the NFL and development programs created.

Just like there are for math and science programs......

Read the article - where's the tax? Sour grapes because he wasn't drafted as high as the hype?

The article mentions Cam Newton & RG III. I believe they were drafted #1 and #2 in there respective drafts. No black tax there.

Total Barbara Streissand.

Austin is light years better than Smith.
That game just shows how bad UT sucked.

He looked great up until then, but went down hill in a hurry after that.

Are you sure about that? Peyton Hillis, Toby Gearhart and Julian Edelman are thriving to some degree as NFL RBs.

I'll comment as I always have - if Asian players gravitated to football in large numbers they'd be playing in the NFL in large numbers. I know there are only about three or four Asians in the league right now, such as Haruki Nakamura, Chris Gocong, Eugene Amano, and Ed Wang.

There are plenty of Samoans and Tongans (who are partially Asian) in the NFL.

I see. You're trying to be funny.

Peyton Hillis? Are you serious? He hasn't done squat since sitting out with a fake injury.
