Freeman benched in Tampa Bay

And to think a few years ago it seemed that Freeman might be the rare black quarterback to succeed because he played the "white way". Instead he's turned out to be another black stiff in the mold of Jason Campbell and Byron Leftwich. Blacks simply lack the intelligence, quick processing / decision making and leadership needed. Maybe mulatto Russell Wilson will break the black quarterback failure streak but I wouldn't bet on it. The rest of the black starters will fail due to their many and varying deficiencies.This should mark the end of his tenure as a starter. Omar Kelly (negro Dolphins beat writer) at the beginning of the season was actually calling for the Fins to bring in Freeman and start him over Tannehill. The same Josh Freeman thats completing less than 50% of his throws. Of course, we'll all hear the excuses (he has no receivers, the playcalling sucks, etc..) but the fact is, Freeman is not an NFL quarterback. He has been exposed at the pro level. Not even the DWF's and TMZSPN could polish this turd. He sucks!

Does anyone know about how many black qb's were starters on average during the 1980's? That was the last decade that the NFL could still be considered somewhat "white friendly." I am thinking there were no more than 2 or 3 starting black qb's at any given time during the 1980's. It's a huge uptick these days.
Is this a trick question wa33? I won't be banned if I can name all 3 will I?
Seriously, being one of the older guys on this forum and watching a big part of the NFL in the 70's and 80's, I think I can name 3 starters, but only 1 or 2 started at the same time.
I watched more football in those 2 decades than at anytime in my life, so I know some history back then.
Warren Moon, Doug Williams, and Chicago's Vince Evans, off the top of my head.
LOL! No buddy! Just wondering if some of the older posters knew this information. I'm too lazy to go through the starter lists from the 80's that are online as it would take some time. What about Randall Cunningham? Wasn't he a starter in the late 1980's?
There were really only two in the late 80's Moon and a young Cunningham. Evans and Peete were both spot starters at best. Ps I just looked it up and Evans was the starter in 81' in Chicago. Anybody have a story about this? I know back then the Bears were really bad. Picture the Bungles pre Carson Palmer.LOL! No buddy! Just wondering if some of the older posters knew this information.

I'm still very much questioning Locker's long-term viability as an NFL quarterback. He's an athletic, inaccurate passer. (Without opening up a can of worms here, it would be interesting to see the perception of him if he wasn't a white kid from Washington state.) But after a stunning comeback win against the Chargers on Sunday it warrants wondering if he can take the next step towards justifying his draft position. Admittedly when he took over with two minutes left and needing a touchdown, I was convinced Locker couldn't pull it off. His game-winning strike to Justin Hunter, though, was a thing of beauty.
Cunningham only started 3 complete seasons, 3 14 or 15 game seasons and in 87, he started 12. The rest he missed the majority of the year. Somehow managed to lead the league in sacks in 86 with 5 games started 200 attempts. 72 sacks, yeah mobile...His best season came at 35, I think he had Carter and Moss, his only good year in his 30's.There were really only two in the late 80's Moon and a young Cunningham.

It's laughable that Warren Moon is the only QB blacks can muster up when talking about great quarterbacks.
Yeah that happened only one year at the age of 35. One of two healthy seasons (where he made it most of the games) in his 30's.Cunningham was a decent QB once he quit running first but after a decade in the league that should be any QB.Cullpepper had the makings of a good QB but after screwing up both knees he was done.Wilson and Kapernick have potential but Warren is easily the best colored QB ever.
Now that he is a commentator i wish he would keep his stupid crap to himself however.
