And Reggie bush is no longer Reggie Bust because he got 6 years to reach his upside. Imagine a 2nd overall pick that is a White back not getting 1k until his 6th yr. he finally is showing of his home run speed in his 8th season w a career long of 77. I suspect Mark Ingram is going is going to get the same courtesy, like Reggie will not avg 4 or more ypc his first 4 years. No mention of Jordy just having a knee operationWhile Gerhart, Hillis & Leonard waste away...are we supposed to believe guys put up pedestrian numbers like Bilal Powell(WHO?) 12 carries for 29(LESS THAN 2.5 AVG)...Green-Ellis 14-25...Ingram 9-11...Lamar Miller only 10 for 3.....Are more capable??? What a load of crap!
Doug Martin only had 20-41...before finally busting a 17 yard run on his 21st carry...Give the ball to Gerhart 20 carries and he is bound to break a few!
Props to Hartline, Edelman, & Amendola & TE Cameron
TOP QB's so far... Manning-462, Flacco-362 Brees-357, Stafford-357,
Wilson 320, Ryan-304, Weeden 289, Brady 288, Dalton 282..Tannehill-272(good job!)...NOT LISTED in TOP TEN by FOX?? WHY? The list Geno Smith 10th at 256 instead?? Move along...nothing to see here..i 'll check back to see if they changed it
Well games over. Apparently when Clay got that roughing penalty it was supposed to be 4th down! Instead San Fran gets another crack on 3rd down and they scored. Smells fishy to me.
This season has barely started and it already smells VERY fishy. The calls, the non-calls, the promos, the all-black hype, it's truly pathetic. At least the Pats won...other than that...things are lookin bad so far in many ways.
Okay, I admit that I am primarily focusing on this black quarterback thing. I just can't get past it. Today, we saw 3 new starting black quarterbacks. Each one of them put up much better than expected stats. It doesn't matter how misleading the stats may be- it is undeniable that they are all pretty much putting up good stats each week now.
Compare what EVERY black quarterback is doing now to the continuing struggles of all the young white QBs outside of Luck and Stafford. I said last week that if Smiff and Pryor, especially, didn't have a putrid game this week, then I would not accept it as legitimate. I stand by that statement. When are we going to see a Blaine Gabbart-Jimmy Clausen- Christian Ponder type of very low completion percentage, low yardage, high turnover game from ANY of these magical black quarterbacks?
Look at what happened today. Russell Wilson completed over 75% of his passes. No interceptions (did have a fumble). Scam completed nearly 70%, with no turnovers. Manuel over 66% with no turnovers. Smiff over 63%, with 2 turnovers. Pryor with over 65%, with 2 turnovers, and over 100 yards rushing. And, for the final indignity of the day, Krapernick with over 400 yards and no turnovers, as he outdueled Rodgers.
Whatever we think of these black quarterbacks, the DWFs and "journalists" will be salivating over their performances. The stats cannot be denied, especially when we contrast them with the turnover laden, low percentage efforts we see nearly every week from Locker, Ponder, Gabbart, etc. Now, I firmly believe that Jake Locker, for example, is far more talented than any of the black quarterbacks. But there is nothing I can say to statistically back that up now. Sure, Locker is not being allowed to do what the black quarterbacks do. But he still struggles more than even the worst of them (Pryor, Smiff) do in their very first NFL game.
Three years ago, we saw the beginning of something when Scam Newton, who should by all rights have been a bigger bust than Jamarcus Russell, burst upon the scene and broke the existing rookie passing yardage record, while also piling up huge rushing yards. And then last year, it just got worse, with TWO magical black quarterback stories, each of them leading previously weak teams (especially the horrid Redskins) to the playoffs. So they put up great stats, and also led winning teams. How can we argue against that?
I'm afraid it's blatantly obvious that the black quarterbacks are here to stay. Something was tinkered with starting with Scam's rookie season. There is no other explanation for how even demonstrably awful "talents" like Pryor and Smiff can come in raw and pile up impressive numbers with no offensive talent around them, while Ponder and Locker struggle with more talent around them, and Gabbart looks awful with certainly at least as much talent as the Jets and Raiders have on offense.
It was great to see Edelman and Amendola shine, but why was Belichick playing tubby "Sucker Punch" Blount so much? Why did Brady lavish 14 targets on the awful Thompkins, who played so poorly even the announcers were criticizing him? And how is "Bionic" Adrian Peterson visibly faster now than ever? Running backs do not become faster with age, and Peterson is now 28, the time when most other NFL backs begin the downside of their careers. But he does have Toby Gerhart behind him, so that may be the explanation.
I understand the jubilation others feel here for the nice performances today from Jordy, Hartline and others. But I simply cannot ignore the black quarterback phenomenon, and what it means for the future of the NFL. I cannot help but believe that over half the starting QBs in the league will be black within a few years. I certainly hope I'm wrong, but what else can one think when one watches these black quarterbacks play?

CRUNCH!!!!!!!! Clay drilled him, brilliant!
It's only first week . Plenty of ball left to be played.
And lots of nice performances on offense and defense -- note to those who only see doom and gloom.
Yes I saw the play live and thought he was inbounds and the call was rather ticky tack to determine the game. NBA officials must be coaching NFL officials.....Wow, talk about quarterbacks wearing skirts.
The bright side is that the pressure will be on Josh Freeman more than ever before.
Exactly. Scam has won 4 games when the playoffs were still in the pictureCome down from the ledge.
The black quarterbacks will return to form soon enough.
And lots of nice performances on offense and defense -- note to those who only see doom and gloom no matter how well White NFL players do.
That's pretty much every dline. And ppl ask why don't teams run the hurry up all game long, this is why, plus the increase of sumos on oline. Wonder how the eagles no huddle will look.God, I am so tired of fat, out of shape, D-lineman on the Giants faking injuries to stop the hurry-up so they can catch their breaths.

Also, another piece of good news is that the long-awaited decline of PIT, which finally began last year as some of us here predicted, appears to be right on schedule. As almost all of Bill Cowher's players have either left, retired, or simply gotten old, plus years of stock-piling the team with affletes who simply aren't good enough, the racist Mike Tomlin is about to be exposed for the fraud that he is.
Tomlin is simply the beneficiary of the absurd AA policies of the NFL, some of which have been put in place by the ownership of the team he coaches.
I think the NFL system as it used to be was an environment that made Black deficiencies difficult to conceal; as in, a quarterback had to be fast, accurate, a cool thinker, and not a complete, f**king retard in order to succeed.
As few Black quarterbacks could meet these requirements at a level that the best of their White contemporaries could (Manning, Manning, Rodgers, Brady, Big Ben, et al), the position itself was changed (as was the game in general) to dumb down the position and make a lot of the Black quarterbacks appear better than they actually are.
Defenses in the NFL are for the most part garbage; most of them suck and those that actually are good are tied down by excessive rules that are designed to let the offenses of different teams put up the maximum amount of points.
Of course these cowboy shootouts placate stupid fans but they do not represent quality defenses, just as the new style of quarterback play does not represent something BETTER than before, it only represents something EASIER to accomplish than before. It's sort of (maybe) like saying your wife is as good a driver as you because she can drive an automatic transmission and get from point A to point B, meanwhile if she tries to drive your car with a stick shift she has a helpless look on her face.
I'm not saying all Black quarterbacks suck, but I think the NFL is gradually changing rules, tinkering with selective whistles and flags here and there, and slowly adapting different roles so that Blacks appear to be better than they really are, in particular the quarterbacks.
The NFL is a consumer product so the fans are more entertained if they see lots of scoring (like the NBA, with its similar dumbed-down culture), but it is also a political product. So, while rule changes will obviously create more scoring, certain taboos, such as hiring superior White athletes who will undoubtedly produce better scoring and more stalwart defensive craftsmanship will not be hired, because the minorities-who-are-fast-becoming-majorities are too bratty and spoiled to accept simple facts. Facts like, the BEST should play, and not simply "the Blacks should play because they are Black, and Black people will stamp their feet (and loot the ghetto) if they don't get what they want."
These same rule changes have benefitted the dying breed of the Mannings and the Bradys of the league, as the rules that make mediocre Black quarterbacks appear decent have made actually-good White quarterbacks appear IMMORTAL.
I think Peyton and Tom and Aaron and the rest of our guys would have been awesome in ANY era, but I don't think they would have put up anything like the video game numbers they registered over the last ten years, if they played during the 60s and 70s.
And, of course, simpering idiots like Geno Smiff and Vince Young and the other Black quarterbacks would have gotten SLAUGHTERED like chickens.
All this of course is lost upon the average DWF, who is simply too stupid to think critically due to his or her liberal, watered-down public school education. Average fans are too braindead and possessing of an infantile attention span to appreciate a low-scoring chess match type game, with strong defenses and offenses conducted almost like military campaigns, with REAL quarterbacks at the helm, like generals. This same fan stupidity is why actually good boxers from the former Soviet Union are dismissed, as 70IQed, fish-eyed American fans are looking for a "spectacular" Mike Tyson to knock out some other anonymous, Black bums.
In a way, our society's downfall (as represented by sports, among more important things) is a fascinating topic of study, morbid as it might be.
WTF is with these commercials on SNF? First was that Toyota Corolla one, now the Nike one with P-Diddy and Calvin Johnson. It's not just Subway or McDonalds, the whole damn country has officially gone 365 black.
Peterson seems to be a freak of nature.
Yes, but the key question is who and what precisely benefits from such marketing?
WHY is the advertising and pop culture generally aimed at black coolness?
who and what precisely benefits?
