Pro football for me is almost in the dustbin of my life, where college football already is.

Thanks to the Caste System, the best and most athletic High School Whites are shamelessly discriminated against and will be (hopefully) walk-ons in college with the deck stacked against them.

Within 5 years, the majority of NFL QBs will be Black or mixed (and by default will be viewed as Black) simply because of the fact that the Whites are passed over at the major top-ranking Universities because said Universities are going the black quarterback route.

It's even bittersweet for me to see the Cowboys doing so well this year with Prescott benefitting from a very good surrounding cast, and Romo getting in on the tail end of the season for one meaningless series. Granted, Prescott has done very well, especially for a rookie, and I give him all credit for the way he has played. In the end though, and just realistically, the trend is entrenched, the White QB is fading in prominence, and that seems to be irreversible. I can't even watch the College Championship because of the QB situation. It's sickening and the pros will continue to get the draft picks they get with the stacked deck they are dealt. Not to relieve them of any anti-White guilt, but it is a system within a larger one.

Question: we all know Thielan was ignored in the last game where if the ball was thrown to him 10 times he would have gained over 40 yds to break 1,000yds. We all know this was intentionally done to him, I watched the game and he was open on many routes in Bradford's sight-line and he chose to throw elsewhere, was Bradford told/pressured/forced to ignore Thielan and if this is correct did he do so to save his own job?

I have to disagree to a point regarding the end of the white QB. This year there looks to be a flood of black QBs to the NFL ranks - I can't argue that. At this point it is way to early to label them all as first round picks. I have a feeling some are going to fall like Hundley did after being projected as a first round pick for 2 seasons in college before leaving for the NFL. It's really way too early to put my theory to test but college football seems somewhat cyclical with the white QB/quoatback issue. I remember either 2013 or 2014 being very black at the position in college only to be followed up with a much more white year the next season. The college ranks look to see a small boom with a ton of white QBs at major schools - Mayfield, Rudolph, Darnold, Falk, McSorely, the young freshman SEC QBS etc. I am not ready to write off the white QB as my theory of the college and pro games becoming more different seems to hold some traction. Also, there are alot of young QBs in the league ready for their shot as starting QBs - Garrapolo, McCarron, Glennon, Semien (could be traded) all come to mind.

Wilson has been the only reliable consistent long term starter out of any black QB in the league. Newton has been up and down his career and this past season was terrible although the media won't say it - his piss poor play should of been a season long storyline but the media refused to cover . Prescott has yet to prove he is a long term franchise QB (I point to Griffin in 2012 as the prime example of black quarterback hype blowing up in their face), Idler arm is on the outs in buffalo, the gremlin had a laughable 2016 season which saw him injured and play poorly on the field, Jameez will be inconsistent and turnover prone his whole career as everyone is seeing the throws he got away with in college are resulting in INTs at the next level (he has 33 ints so far in two seasons), Krapernick was coddled by Kelly and given the starting job in an offense that was supposedly tailored to him - he lost all but 1 game he started this season, Manuel and Smiff are probably out of the league or 2nd/3rd stringers.

The black quarterback turnover this season should be interesting. We did get 10 or 11 white QBs drafted last year. Let's look at the black quarterbacks that have declared this year because they all have questions:

Watson - system QB - let's not forget Tajh Boyd, issues with turnovers, ACL injury
Kizer - never consistent as a starter, accuracy issues, put up numbers against suspect defenses and struggled against good defenses
Mahomes - definition of system QB, Big 12 plays no defense, losing record, Davis Webb played at Texas Tech and lost job due to injury - went to Cal absorbed the offense and had a huge season - going to compare those two every chance i get to all the "experts"
Jerod Evans - why he declared is beyond me - he only had one year of experience, probably trying to ride on Paxton Lynch's coat tails although Lynch played three seasons in Fuente's offense
Kaaya - accuracy issues, this guy was supposed to be dominant under Richt but he was not, media hype job

Hopefully we see some of these guys falling during the draft this year.

I don't think it would have been possible to get 20 carries and also cover kicks. It must have been someone else. Perhaps Jace Billingsley who was just added, and who I thought would get some reps, but Andre Roberts was not hurt as projected. Also it may have been Miles Killebrew who has a similar number and build and is a very light skinned mixed race guy.

Zenner was most definitely in the game (not as the "gunner," but as the "up-man" blocking) during the first 2 or 3 times the Lions punted, but then was replaced by different players during later punt plays. I remember being worrying that he'd get hurt on special teams and thinking it had to be their white FB (Michael Burton, #46), but it wasn't.

I would add Lamar RB Kade Harrington to the list as well - he is a Danny Woodhead type. Sam Rogers out of Va Tech could be an interesting guy to watch as well. He was a utility FB/RB for Va Tech - if he tests well he may be drafted.

Let's start a thread on running backs only.....(Just found out Wegher has been in the Rams PS for the last couple weeks)....2017 has Mccaffrey, Woodhead, Zenner, Burkhead....Would love to see Toby get another shot......Oregon St---Ryan Nall is awesome.....Cade Carney---Wake Forest....I was ticked to see Bisharat de-commit form Stanford.....Air Force's Tim McVeigh needs more carries.............
