Definitely not a fan of the media always blaming the OL for the constant poor play by black QBs. It's never the actual QB's fault, or is it ever the poor play of receivers.
Heard it a lot about Wilson, Newton, Winston, and Bridgewater this week alone (and a lot in the past for the first two), and yet you'll never hear it said about Foles, Tannehill, Bortles, Carr, Ryan etc who have OL's of the same quality if not worse.

this is excellent insight.
the memo has clearly gone out, and the media vermin are already repeating the "it's the o-line's fault" at the college level for the anointed game-changers.
last night in the Florida State-Boston College matchup, espn's weird looking college football staff writer Jared Shanker (seen here:
) wrote TWO twitter posts insisting that it wasn't Everett Gholson's fault he was stinking up the field:
Jared Shanker said:
FSU's offensive issues are with the line. Everett Golson has played well, and Dalvin Cook nearly broke one the few times he had room.
Jared Shanker said:
Jimbo Fisher won't be happy the offense failed to score after the Seminoles' first drive, but he has a bye week to tinker with the offense. The problem is the offensive line might not be something he can fix this season. The group is inexperienced and still learning to play.
in reality, Golson holds the ball too long because he can't see the field, has poor pocket presence to sidestep traffic or step up into the pocket, and is very inaccurate when throwing the ball downfield. of course, the truth rarely impacts what the agenda insists is "truth."
FSU head coach Dumbo Fisher, at least, spoke honestly after the game:
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher praised the defense but called out the offense: “We’ve got to get better. We had too many missed throws," he said after the Seminoles' 14-0 win over Boston College.
Golson finished a pathetic 15-24 for 119 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 sacks. he ran 6 times for 5 yards. clearly he's the type of game-breaking talent that will revolutionize the position. LOL
the "electrifying" Golson managed to lead the offense on 1 scoring drive all night, the opening drive, which totaled 83 yards. the anemic offense managed just 134 yards and Zero points the remainder of the game. what a talent he is!
on the other side of the ball, Boston College had 2 "game-changers" of their own, in black quarterbacks Darius Wade and Jeff Smith (but since it hasn't been deemed from on high that these two are chosen, there were no o-line comments made during the broadcast protecting their fragile self esteem). the "dynamic" duo combined to complete 4 of 13 passes for 47 yards, threw an awful interception, took 2 sacks, and managed to gain just 46 yards on 12 carries. talk about exciting!!! haha. this is what the black quarterback-led offense did for BC on the night:
• Punt
• Punt
• Int
• Punt
• Half
• Punt
• Punt
• Punt
• Punt
• Punt
• Lost fumble (which was returned for an FSU touchdown)
• Punt
• Downs
dynamic, indeed. smirk.
