I personally like to credit Drew Brees with being the only real reason the Saints are any good. Without him, the Saints are pretty much toast. Dalton and the Bengals were in the same boat, with Dalton being the one real weapon and most of the rest of the team riding on his shoulders. If they won, they spread the wealth, but since they lost, they know who to blame.
Such is the life of the quarterback. Er, WHITE quarterback.
Having said all that, I find Drew Brees' pregame chants annoying but not that important. Really, I think they are affected, disingenuous attempts by him to patronize both his teammates and his politically-correct masters. I find that in a lot of instances people who act like that are secretly very racist, but outwardly, sanctimoniously UN-racist (not a word, but whatever). Of course I don't know Drew Brees, but I wouldn't be surprised if he secretly loathes a lot of his teammates.
It's too bad about the Packers. I like to think that if Rogers hadn't gotten injured, they might have had more momentum to make more noise in the playoffs.
So much of the black quarterback agenda is just hyping the quarterback and ignoring the real reason for his success.
The SF, Seattle, and Carolina quarterbacks all have decent supporting casts with adequate help on defense to ensure that not every performance by the quarterback has to be an epic production.
In the better black quarterback-led teams, the quarterback can have a mediocre game and his team might still win. With most of the White-led teams, that would only happen if they were really lucky.
None of those quarterbacks will ever, Ever, EVER be able to pull off what Andrew Luck did last Sunday, especially with that crap Colts defense.
Manning, Brady, Rogers, and on and on and on—many White quarterbacks have to be gunslingers putting points on the board like they'e playing a video game, just to compensate for a garbage defense.
The surviving Black quarterbacks never had to endure that challenge, and if they did, of course they would falter because they suck.
Those Black quarterbacks who DID suffer from weak supporting casts, naturally, are long eliminated because they cannot lift a team onto their backs and carry them like a White quarterback—a White LEADER—can.
People who really think of these things will notice, even if they don't really notice the racial angle as most members here do. But unfortunately, most people are so dumb that they would die if you didn't remind them to breathe.
