    Black QBs in the NFL

    I wouldnt be too worried, they have a low success rate. Pat White. Jamarcus Russel obviously. Terrelle Pryor. Tyrod Taylor. Juice Williams. Jacory Harris. Darron Thomas. Darryl Clark. Jordan Jefferson. Nate Davis. The poly guy who played foe ou and ole miss Masoli. These are just guys that were...

    Black QBs in the NFL

    except none of them are really good at running, so they don't fit the "prototype",besides being black (which will probably qualify them). Collin Klein and Taylor Martinez are two great dual threat qbs.

    Players Signed After Week One?

    was hoping to see Bobby Carpenter picked up, I read yesterday that the Chiefs were working him out...

    College football week 2

    I wonder if the same action would have been taken if he were black. At a local FCS college I knew of some players "on the dl", at least from what I heard, never cared to investigate, just never understood how "it was on the dl" when so many people knew.... I am pretty sure the head coach knew...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    back on topic, what do you think the chances that Gerhart could be traded to the Colts? they have no decent runningbacks. Gerhart has proven more in his few starts than anybody they have. He would be reunited with Andrew Luck. Manning had Marshall Faulk his first year and then Edggerin James...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    its not an organized conspiracy...but what caused the brainwashing in the first place. When exactly did it start? I have games from the 70's where the announcers make remarks about certain White players not being the fastest, right after they made a big play. It seems to get worse in the 80's. I...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    What exact forum is this on? Why shouldn't a player be upset after losing? hes not the leader of the team, why should he stick around to talk to the media? as far as Ridley, if the Patriots do go more run heavy it could really hurt Welker. For years he was an extension of the run game...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    I think this would be true to some extent. When the Saints had Aaron Brooks many fans stopped watching, and we are talking die hard fans. Most didn't give that much crap about their FIRST playoff win in history, although it was a fluke because a guy muffed a return and the Saints recovered. Most...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    http://deadspin.com/5941958/ 21 of the worst ref mistakes this week, a large number not in our favor. The site shows video, here are some. It doesn't mention the constant holding by the Redskins that wasn't called but it was called quite a bit on the Saints. "Referee David Scott's crew bails...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    the Chiefs game might have turned out different if the ball was fed to Hillis in the first half. Charles did have a high ypc but Hillis would have had it to used the same way, except he would have punished defenders and demoralized the defense, giving them a better chance to win. Its called...

    no, garbage time carries with the game out of reach

    2012 NFL Week 1

    it went to 50/50 to "going with the hot hand" right before the game. I am sure Hillis will be doing more if he got the same amount. the defense looked like they let Peterson walk in on that touchdown. this is upsetting, is there any White runningback to cheer for as full time starter, pro or...

    2012 NFL Week 1

    I wouldn't put much into Griffin's performance, the Saints are very thin at cornerback, Jabari Greer is out, plus its a bunch of wrinkles the Saints didn't prepare for.

    2012 NFL Week 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Jaguars defenders took it easy on him and went harder on Gerhart. Besides for the obvious reason, Maurice Jones Drew is one of the leaders of the team and still wants a big contract. Adrian Peterson has that big contract and if he can't play well then that further...

    College football week 2

    apparently they were beaten out by two freshmen, one weighing 160 pounds. With Line I am not concerned, the same thing happened last year when they played an FCS team, low yardage but a bunch of tds.

    College football week 2

    Its obvious Nebraska needs Burkhead. The defense just isn't buying any fakes to the other backs, be it on the zone read or play action. And I thought this Abdullah guy was supposed to have another gear, I don't see it, he got caught from behind on a run with a gaping hole, he did go 36 yards but...

    College football week 2

    I just hope the offense can play like this when Burkhead is back. When Burkhead got all those carries last year Martinez wasn't efficient as a passer and his running ability seemed to be hindered. His main competition coming into the season, Montee Ball has only 180 yards in two games and...

    College football week 2

    Colin Klein looking much better as a passer, would love to see him on Sundays, he should be getting more hype after last season. The guy is a winner and just gets it done. Taylor Martinez looked improved as a passer as well last week, hope it stays that way, but doesn't have the height of...

    College football week 2

    how predictable, the announcers talking about how great Penn St's offensive line is, how inexperienced Virginia's is etc. Day hasn't even broke off a big running play. Apparently his helmet isn't right for him, it keeps popping off.

    WR Austin Collie

    the coach did say that and said he was expected to play. Collie is the one who is unsure and doesn't want to give a definite yes or no. He says the only opinion he cares about outside of his family is his doctor's. He seems to pretty positive about coming back, saying that medical knowledge has...

    Peyton Hillis

    still many dwfs seem shocked of this news, although its been mentioned a dozen times that they will split carries, they can't get behind the idea of Hillis and Charles getting the same amount of touches. The Chiefs have listed both Jamaal Charles and Peyton Hillis as starters on their Week 1...

    if the Lions were smart they would activate him and start him opposite of Calvin Johnson, 2 6'5 receivers with deep speed that are also physical receivers.

    2012 rookie qb's

    There already making excuses for RGIII saying he has the 2nd toughest game for a qb this week....against the Saints defense. I don't know when the Saints became one of the top defensive teams. There was no way of getting around putting his game as the hardest though, which they said to be Ryan...

    Danny Woodhead

    well, Ridley missed a few practices a while back due to knee injury and Vereen has been out the past 4 or 5 practices? I believe. I don't see how Bellicheck doesn't see Woodhead as an everydown back. He was nicked up last year and lost his big play ability, but he still grinded out first downs...
