There are 25 White quarterbacks starting today. We may not see that number again.

I dont see the qauarterback numbers dropping off although there are some hyped up draft ones this year like watson, griffin will be gone probably taylor too. Alot of criticism of the black quarterbacks from draft site walterfootball both on field and off field concerns of watson, jackson and kaaya also may see white quarterback rising up the draft boards.

Hopefully Rex won't make Gerhart's mistake and sign with a team with a sh*tty O-line

It's been a damn good day so far, with the glaring exception of Adam Thielen coming up short of 1,000 yards.

Bradford broke the completion ratio mark today. He might be the starter next year.

To be fair to Gerhart, he took the first offer made to him. It wasn't like he has much choice. I'm sure he just wants those paychecks put into his account to secure his family's future. Be surprised to see him on any time in 2-3 years.

Notice how black players get all white like in their playing style when they get to the Patriots. Look at how well behaved Lagarette Blount has become.

Why is Edelman returning punts? Why overuse your number one receiver in a fairly meaningless game? Isn't there some guy on the bench that could be using the reps?
When is Amadola coming back, BTW? Yeah Jax not seeing the reason Edelman is out their catching punts. Really an asinine decision by BB. Regarding blacks playing like whites, maybe those rings on their fingers are a come to Jesus moment to check their TNB at home.

He will be. The Vikings have already come out and said that Bradford is their guy. That's good news. Bradford played very well for them this year. It's not his fault he's been on crappy teams during his entire NFL tenure. Little Teddy is DONE!

It looks like EJ Manuel was benched in favor of Cardale "I aint come to play school" Jones. Hopefully this means the end of Manuel as a Bill[/QUOT
Based on the limited play of Cradale, he looks like crap. If he takes over next year another losing season for the Bills. Loving it.

The Jaguars lost but Bortles played well (25 of 39, 301 yards, TD, no interceptions). Hopefully there won't be any more talk about replacing him with a quota.

Adam Humphries had 10 catches for 90+ yards today. Another pleasant surprise at WR this year.

Meet Cardale Jones, same as Tyrod Taylor and same as EJ Manuel.

None of them can read a comic book, let alone an NFL playbook.

That epic Bills fail on the kickoff where the afroletes just stood around like dopes while the ball bounced into the end zone and a Jets player fell on it for a touchdown summarizes their whole season.

After repeated violations of the unwritten "if the starting QB gets injured, he gets his job back when he's healthy no matter how well the backup plays" rule, which screwed over Alex Smith and Tony Romo hard, I don't feel sorry for Little Teddy at all, especially since he was never a starting-caliber QB in the first place.

The Raiders should seriously consider putting Cook in there. McGloin ain't getting it done.

It's pretty rare for a running back to make his first career start in a Week 17 game and score as many fantasy points as Rex Burkhead did (25). In fact, the only other ones to do it this century were Pierre Thomas (30, 2007) and Arian Foster (25, 2009).

And he's a career special teamer. The only people not surprised are here at CF.
Pierre Thomas and Arian Foster went on to be long term starters...

Looks like Matt Ryan is cementing an MVP season. I'd still take Brady, but good for Matt.

Its not looking good for the Redskins so far. They finally got a long completion to the Giants' 25, then sure enough on the next play the black receiver falls down on a timing route and NY gets the interception.
