I think it's a bit of a grey area. The term "black quarterback" isn't used much anymore. Most black quarterbacks are now refered to as "mobile quarterbacks," and there's an understanding what that means. Mobile QBs aren't protected like pocket passers, that's just a fact

Jesus Christ this color stuff needs to stop already, " black quarterback" " Mobil" this is all crap. He's an NFL starting QB that's in the top 5 of great QB's in the league. This poor guy gets pounded but lets just blame it on because he's black ? give me a break.

The rules are set up to protect prototypical, usually white quarterbacks like Tom Brady who stay in the pocket. Mobile QBs (who tend to be black) simply aren't given the same protections on hits and such. I'm not saying that has to be racism, but the difference is there in who the rules benefit.

Why should the rules benefit players who can't avoid a big hit in the pocket because they're slow and stationary, but not a guy who moves around?

cam gets concussed in the pocket, no foul

brady gets sneezed on, 15 yards



when the qb is in the pocket, he should get treated the same if he is black, white, mobile or a statue


once the qb runs, until he slides feet first, he should be treated the same if he is black, white, mobile or a statue


it's not the case

There's so many things like that. Taylor gets punched in the head TWICE in the miami games (once by Suh, once by wake) and the refs don't look for it. When Brady is at the bottom of the pile, the eyes are on him.

Tyrod gets pushed after running out of bounds, but he's a great athlete and doesn't fall down, no penalty. I'm not saying he should dive, but the rules just benefit the QBs who don't move, and like everything else in life, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and Tom Brady b*tches constantly

All you keep talking about is Tom Brady, you don't mention any other white QB's. All QB's regardless of color in the NFL get pounded all except for Brady, so what's your point.

He's the epitome of the white, protected pocket passer, so he's the perfect foil against which to compare the treatment of "mobile" (wink wink) QBs

this sounds like a fruitful conversation.. maybe we can somehow roll in about climate change and ramp things up a little.

i hear cam newton is a truther who believes the glaciers are melting because the government is using satellites to increase the heat in the artic. Its all becuase he is black

I'm probably mistaken, but with the call ups yesterday doesn't someone need to be waived/placed on IR/ traded for Ghule and/or Ullmark to play?

Only QB that gets special treatment in the NFL is Tom Brady, has nothing to do with what color he is and everything to do with him playing for the Patriots. Kraft and Jerry Jones get whatever they want in the NFL.

Is it safe to say that trading Kane is all but a certainty at this point ?

The Bills are trying to get Cam Newton with Tyrod Taylor and it's not working. If Tyrod would throw the ball more down field and his passes where on target maybe we would have that. Tyrod can run, no question about it and has the skill level but his decisions are very questionable.
