I'm definitely rooting for Michigan to win. I hate Ohio State due to the fact that they only recruit black quarterbacks. And if they win today they're most likely going to make it in the college football playoff. As I was typing this Ohio State scored and the game is now ever.
But I have a question for the guys here about black quarterbacks in college. Why are they able to have so much success in college but very little success in the NFL ? I understand the game is much faster in the NFL but could someone provide me with a more in depth answer
the speed is just one answer, since everyone is faster, the room for error is less, an inch off here or there will result in a pick or incomplete pass, this also goes for just a second of hesitation, scrambling to the edge, the guys in the NFL are just there faster. Defenders aren't that good since they insist on using majority blacks for most schools. The NFL is majority black and they have trouble finding competent starters, espescially at db which is like 98 percent black (well 100 if you are just talking about corners) so its like 10x worse in college. They have corners that ran like a 4.8 getting big time offers to play college, remember the article that said nfl cornerback prospects were getting slower than White fullbacks. More cbs entering the nfl ran 4.66 or slower than sub 4.5, and thats not even talking about the poor technique they use to play. Thats not mentioning the safeties, who tend to be slower. This is why its ridiculous when they say a White guy doesn't have the athleticism to play the position, okay really? not even in college? a bunch of bs. Coaches are able to scheme better to suit the qbs strengths, like not getting him to make throws he is uncomfortable with. Also, since its only a few years, defensive coordinators don't have as much time to study film, figure out tendencies, then coach their players to exploit those weaknesses. Think about how the read option took the NFL by surprise a few years ago. Its not that ALL of those guys never played against that before, many have because its been around for a minute but it still takes a while to figure things out.
So yeah 120+ teams, weakened talent pool but then when White guys play these weak defenses they put on a clinic, which is probably one of the reasons they want to eliminate the White qb. If the play declines overall for both offense and defense, no one will know the difference.
and yeah someone just mentioned it took 2 years to figure the zone read out in the NFL, alot of qbs are off to the NFL after 2 years, notice how alot of these hyped up black quarterbacks in college start declining after a good start, just like the NFL, like people thought Logan Thomas was a top pick. Guys like Hundley and Winston have declined, but that probably hasn't affected their draft stock for some reason.....
