A Coal Bowl in Canton between Arizona and Carolina to kick off the exhibition games. Pickett and Beck starting at QB. At least a majority of the Hall inductees are White this year, which has become a rarity -- Brees, Kuechly and Vinatieri.

Yes, but both Kenny Pickett and Haynes King look great!
Pickett 8/11 62 yards
Haynes King getting big praise from Chis Collinsworth was 5/8, one dropped pass 44 yards and a TD pass on his first NFL Drive.
Collinsworth noting that King the ACC POY, was one of the fastest players on the field with 4.46 speed made an 8 yard scramble to keep the TD drive alive!
CC also saying King will make the Panthers team!
Beck looking good as well. 11/14, 148 yards and a TD pass.
 
Beck, King and Pickett are all just as good as the current anointed black starters for the cardinals and panthers.

I didn’t catch the game, but highlights and summary indicate King was the star. Good for him.

Same here but it looks like all the QBs had more than respectable showings. It begs the question why these guys are not being developed and unquestionably mediocre black qbs are gifted the starting jobs.

I just can’t suspend disbelief and think that the 32 starting qbs in the league are actually the most qualified.
 
Haynes King looked in total command of the offense as his highlight package shows. Now we should note that the Cardinals coal black defense is hot garbage but that's fine. He shredded them like he needed to.

 
It’s hard to believe that King went undrafted. He should have been a 2nd rounder at the very least.
 
I was just checking King's stats at Georgia Tech and didn't realize how productive he was. For a guy who supposedly can't throw, his completion percentage was a phenomenal 72.9% in '24 and 69.8% last year. He threw 55 TD passes at GT to just 24 picks, and also ran for 737 yards in '23, 587 in '24 and 953 last year.

He ran a 4.46 40 at this year's Combine and his RAS is 9.56, 44th best all-time out of 1,126 QB prospects. And his father is a high school football coach.

Damn right he should have been drafted in the second round. How is this kid a "project"? I didn't know much about him before but will follow him now. I know we have some Kenny Pickett truthers here but I'd like to see King become the backup to Young this season.
 
The kid was also the ACC player of the year! In a sane world scouts, coaches, media etc. would be drooling over that type of athleticism and pedigree. Blatant discrimination.

Hull isn’t white

Maybe so but in many pics he sure looks it. Look at his Northwestern Picture. Also with the amount of teams that
give him barely a look he seems to be treated with the Caste System. It's all good just wasn't sure. Wonder the percentage?

He maybe not be 100% white but he is damn near close. To anyone but the most ardent of watchers, he will be considered white. He has been caste aside in favor of mediocre backs like many better white running backs have been. My two cents.
