I didn't say blacks don't make good QBs. I said there are very few good black pocket passers. Still. I do agree that the RB position favors those of black decent as they have the potential to be faster, more agile. My point was (perhaps relayed ineffectively), why is it racist to point out that blacks don't make good pocket passers, but not racist to point out that blacks make better runningbacks? Its not an opportunity issue. Its a pathetic double standard in my opinion.So, are you suggesting that white running backs are unfairly not being given the opportunity, then? This seems pretty clear that lack of opportunity explained why there were so few (or no) black QBs until recently. If it's not physical skill, then what's your explanation for why so few white RBs have jobs in the NFL?And that's not racist how?Saying white running backs are ineffective because they are not athletic enough is like saying black quarterbacks are generally ineffective as pure pocket passers because they aren't smart enough to read defenses.He'll be starting this year...as a fullback/H-back.I think he does have all the tools to accel, but alas...he has the white man disease.
that doesn't look like such a sure misjudge of talent on MJD anymore..
I like Leonard, and he is good. But to think he will come i and excel where Steven Jackson wasn't is just plain fandom taking over.He was demoted at Rutgers AFTER they were pimping him as a Heisman candidate! Ray Rice took over and you could clearly see the difference.As much as I like Leonards heart and ability, he's no stud. And that's doubly true behind a patchwork OL.
