Since White QB-Domination is so thorough, the media has gone the route of complete fabrication.
Clayton leads Ravens over Bengals 34-3

Joe Flacco threw for a career-high 280 yards, 2 TD's and zero picks.
Clayton had a good amount of receiving yards, but who threw him the ball? If the title said, "Flacco & Clayton lead Ravens over Bengals" - that would be more in tune with reality!
Right now, Flacco is on pace for 3,000 passing yards. He also ran for 57 yards against the Giants' a few weeks ago. Both Flacco and Matt Ryan have their teams at 8-4, but is the Caste media more afraid of Flacco?
BTW, you guys might want to go to Rivals and check out Matt Ryan and Flacco's 2003 profiles. They're ranked as pro-style QB's. Flacco didn't "come out of nowhere" - he was ranked #39 and originally committed to Pitt. Underrated, of course, especially when you see some of the "magical athletes" rated above him.
Matt Ryan was #25 and only 3-stars. There were multiple athletes that I never heard of that were rated above him
(Steven Moffett, Cory Holt and Cary Dove). The other 3 (above Ryan) were in the top 10; They are Chris Leak, JaMarcus Russell and Andre' Woodson.
The saying - "The cream rises to the top" - could not be more appropriate! Fantasyland will always be fantasyland.
Will there ever be a pair of black rookie QB's doing what Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco are doing
in the same season?? That's why the media praises Matt Ryan, but they try to hide Flacco! They also can't say that Joe Flacco is bonafide because his backup is Troy Smith.
Flacco and Ryan have incredible arms. Could both win Offensive Rookie of the Year in their respective leagues? Could they share the cover of SI? Title: "The Year of the Quarterback."
Written underneath: "From Rookies to Veterans, the QB Position in the NFL is as Strong as Ever!" It's the truth, right?
