The Packers had Mark Chmura for almost a decade. He was good.
en.wikipedia.org
Besides Chmura, Robert Tonyan was very good in 2020 before blowing out his knee last season. He played today and will get better as the season goes on.I wish Aaron Rodgers had a Kyle Phillips or hunter Renfrow. Hell he should’ve had Jake Kumerow who was the best receiver in Packers Camp a couple years ago! It’s a damn shame what happens to some of these talented guys
My memory fails but has Rogers ever had a talented tight end to throw to?
I wrote that he had five before the game was over, glad to see him do so well though he had a drop and a fumble, but so what he's a rookie in his first game. My biggest takeaway from the game was that Tannehill was often looking to him as his first option, which bodes well for his future. At least until Tannehill is benched for Willis (hopefully that won't happen for a few seasons as long as Ryan is playing well).Kyle Philips actually ended with 6 catches for 66 yards. No nerves as the kid has ice in his veins. Hope he can build off this. He is
on a team that actually seems to know what they have. So hard to find that with a young white receiver.
I do expect Alec Pierce to have alot better game next weekend. He is too good to be shut out.
Very sad about how Adam Thielen is an afterthought after all he has done.
The great young LB Pete Werner finished with 13 total tackles (12 solo & 1 for a loss) and a forced fumble. One to watch this year!Werner linebacker for the Saints already 4 tackles and a forced fumble to regain possession.
So what year will blacks be a majority of the starting QB’s in the NFL? That would be what 17? Getting pretty close it seems.
I’m thinking in 10 years there will be almost all black QB’s, with a few superstar white ones, like the wide receiver position is now.
It’s too much of an advantage to have a running QB now. You see it all the games, coverage is good, run it, often for huge yardage. And as runners they’re protected. There’s good white running QB’s but they are ignored or turned into pocket passers.
As I posted in the “black quarterbacks” thread earlier today, there are 13 non-White starting QBs week 1 this year. With Prescott getting hurt, there will be 12 going forward for now.So what year will blacks be a majority of the starting QB’s in the NFL? That would be what 17? Getting pretty close it seems.

My guess with the incoming flood of hyped up black quarterbacks in the college ranks, we could hit the 50% mark in the next 2 or 3 years. At best maybe it can be held off another 5 but there is no force pushing back against this trend.
I was trying to think of the last qb to basically be incompetent and then emerge like a phoenix in his early 30's and the only name I could come up with was George Blanda.I was originally hoping Denver would win but it’s actually funnier seeing Wilson the high paid “savior” going against his former team and losing to a journeyman career backup. Lol.
The highlight is Cody Barton racking up 10 tackles (8 solo and 2 for losses) and a sack in his first game as an official starter. Of course we’re not surprised at all. Also, Alex Singleton started (probably only due to Jewell being hurt) and led Denver in total tackles with 9. Again, no surprise there but the media and DWFs always say this guy is no good.
A little push back on Chrissy’s commentary on Cooper Kupp’s lack of physicality:

Cris Collinsworth got dragged for invoking 'white receiver cliches' about Cooper Kupp

I think the direction of the caste system is going to be dependent on how weHow many remain effective as runners for long? Russell Wilson is the best Black QB since Warren Moon and even he runs it far less now than he used to. Any quarterback has to become an effective passer to have longevity. The college programs and the NFL will keep the push going as they've been doing for a quarter century now and as a result it's finally been paying more noticeable dividends. I don't see White QBs ever becoming as rare as White WRs have become but Black QBs may well become the majority as they keep being force-fed into the NFL.
