In a bit of good news it sounds like Wentz has no desire to be a backup QB with the Eagles so hopefully he can force his way out in the offseason. I am sure the dwfs/black racist fans and media are all eager to get Wentz the last push out the door with Philadelphia to make the short sighted decision of making the quoatback their next black savior so I do hope that happens. Wentz needs to be sure to land with a competent coaching staff and a less moronic GM.
I hope NE or Indianapolis can pull off a trade. No disrespect to Rivers if he wants to play another year or 2, but if I were the Colts and could land a talent like Wentz, I would.

Rivers has been very good this year and considering he's a slow, unathletic, old white guy compared with last year's black quarterback hype job Brissett it's been even better to see him put together a superb season and leave the NFL with no doubt that Brisett should be a clipboard holder. If Rivers does call it a career then the Colts are the best destination for Wentz. I do not want him going to New England as he would be essentially stepping into the same situation as with the Eagles - trash o-line and trash receivers.

To move the Taysom Hill question here I'll just say that he would make an ideal second string QB behind an all-pro level QB. Here is my reasoning most teams want a backup QB in the mold of their starter when having such is as rare as a Dodo bird at Thanksgiving. So if your stud QB goes down why bring in a guy and have him attempt to run the O like the stud? For every Matt Cassel year you end up with numerous years more reminiscent of the years Rogers was replaced by Hundley or Peyton Manning by anonymous clip board holder.

I'd take a one read, done, and run guy over some never will be a Brady, Rogers, Manning any day of the week if my main guy went down, then adjust the playbook.

I like to say, "I love my race like I love my children; I don't hate other races, just like I don't hate other people's children, but I can never love them the way I love my own children."

Anyway, like I said before, I hope a divorce between the black community and the Democratic Party is forthcoming. To be clear, blacks voting conservative in large numbers is an unrealistic pipe dream, but every black that goes Malcolm X is half a vote for our side.
That's a good way to put it, I completely agree. No one judges black people for looking after their own people.

Yeah the NE situation isn't very ideal ATM. Although Scam makes the whole team look worse than they are. I trust Bill is capable of sorting out that team in the offseason but Wentz showed in his MVP caliber season that in the right situation he can preform at an elite level.

Wow. This is a shame. Greene was one of the all-time great pass rushers. He ranks 3rd on the all time list for sacks with 160. He never got the credit he deserved because of anti-white prejudice.

Very sad, he is gone far too early at a relatively young 58. I wonder what the cause was? I hadn’t read of any disease but many often keep it from going public.
RIP.

Kevin Green was a great pass rusher and also had a very extroverted, pro wrestler type personality, which is why he always received a lot of media attention. Clay Matthews would be a good comparison. RIP

WTF?!? He was what, 50?
No I know he was older than that. I read the obituary and he was 58. Still that is way too young to leave this planet.

From the looks of the announcement it looks like it was sudden and unexpected. I hope it wasn't football related due to pain killers or PED usage, anyway my condolences to the Greene family in their time of sorrow.

Which one? I would say Jr, but looks wise it would be III.

Funny how Clay Matthews III actually would be justified in putting the "III" on his jersey but doesn't, while so many "looks at me" afroletes have unnecessary II, III, IV, V, Sr., etc. on their jerseys.

Don't the double last name BS that is en vogue with these malcontents.

RIP Kevin Greene. All Time Great.

I remember his match with Steve 'Mongo' McMichael in WCW in the feud between two great white defensive stars.

"...and also had a very extroverted, pro wrestler type personality, which is why he always received a lot of media attention."

A theory of mine is that the media prefers white players to have this persona. Some might call it playing the "free spirit," a term the media loves but actually is an unserious person. I recall reading an interview with Fred Dryer, Ram DE of the 70's, later successful actor. Dryer told of a NFL Films segment in which he was told to "ham it up, act crazy," which Dryer made plain was just for show. This has been the case since the 1970s in my opinion.

It's not easy for White players to successfully play that persona as the media is always ready to jump on White players for being too arrogant. The wrestling personality seems to work best.

Rosen to the 49ers. Being the optimist I do think he is better than Nick Mullens and I feel Shanahan is as good a coach as any to get the potential out of Rosen. It's not a bad move with Jimmy G getting injured almost annually. It's also somewhat interesting it happens now after the Jets won a game to bump them out of the Trevor Lawrence spot so Darnold may not be available for trade - pure speculation by me but that was one of the rumors that seemed to be floating around.

49ers signed QB Josh Rosen off the Bucs' practice squad.

The 49ers were in desperate need of a No. 2 quarterback for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, and COVID-19 protocols limited them to players that were already inside the league's roster ecosystem. Rosen has spent the entire year on the Bucs' taxi squad after failing to make the Dolphins at final cuts. To say his career has started off poorly would be an understatement, but a Kyle Shanahan-led offense would be a wonderful place to make his last stand if the Niners decide to keep him around after Week 17.
