Seriously though, kidding aside, if two top tier prospects in the same draft are 100% identical in every single way except one is white and one is black (exact same skillset, same stats, same hair cut, etc...

Less of a chance that he'll get a drug suspension, and teams always respect white QB's in the huddle more anyway... Just a way less risky pick for a million different reasons.

Is this how you'd play it if you were a GM?

Nah, I'd give them an equal shot cuz I'm not a racist. Just saying though, if one of the two is going to be out of the league in a few years because of a dog fighting ring, or smoking too much pot, or sexual assault on some girl at the club... Well, we all know which one of the two that would be. Just sayin'.

7 starting Black QBs... I'd take them in this order, although I understand the argument for Wilson to be number 1. I'd bet within 4-6 years there are at least 12-16 on this list. I'd also take the top 3 on this list over at least 2/3 of the remaining QBs.

Really impressed when I watched EJ Manuel last year. I think he may rise to the top of this list.

Can we have a Bridgewater fascination? I need this.

 
Everyone on that list is merely keeping the seat warm for Famous Jameis, anyway. They should induct him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame before he even gets drafted.

Troof!

Not in love with the situation he is in... Don't know how he handles the frigid weather, but in terms of skills set, work ethic, & talent I think he is the best in this years draft.

Only three black QBs in that game. I miss the good old days when the Seahawks carried 3 black QBs on their roster.

 
Imagine how many great black quarterbacks there would have been if we didn't have this horribly racist history.

Technically, if we didn't have this horribly racist history most of the potentially great black QBs would have been playing soccer for Nigeria, Ivory Coast, etc..

Possibly, not really "technically". Africans could have immigrated here. You still make a good point. Our history could have still been moderately racist.

Lost 4 but gained 2, Winston and Taylor, though we don't know if Taylor will still be starting next year.

Also Cam may just win the MVP this year.... which I'm not sure has ever been done by a black QB?

I assume you mean Tyrod Taylor, not Tyler, and he will DEFINITELY be the starter at least to start the season. He would have to absolutely implode not to keep the job IMO. He was a top 10 QB this year in a bunch of categories.

Tyler isn't black.

 
The RG3 implosion was astonishing. His story might get interesting again, depending on where he signs and if he's learned anything from his mistakes.
