Hey, anyone know if there are any Hall of Fame QBs who had to go play in Canada for six years after no NFL teams would take a look at him because he was white?
(Hint: might have something to do with why Moon thinks black QBs need a little extra help.)
Well. There is this guy named Joe Theismann. Borderline HOFer, if it weren't for a snapped leg. He played in Canada for, I think 3-4 years.Not sure the rationale of 30 years ago applies today. I'm not sure much of what Moon has to say makes sense, though I can appreciate he has some distorted thought processes (as evidenced by his propensity to drink and drive and
allegedly beat up his wife) and the fact that he's living 2010 like it's still the 1970s.
Racism still exists. Let's not act like it doesn't. But, in terms of fairly evaluating Cam Newton, let's not dismiss the fact that he has a very questionable (and recent) history of poor decision-making AND the fact that his skills as a QB leave some open-ended questions as well. His race is the least of his problems.
