If there were no discrimination like you’re claiming there isn’t why were they doing the usual “he’s a great athlete but he’s not a qb routine”?
Are we pretty much over the era of black quarterback discrimination?

WTF SMH
I never really thought about this.....but maybe and maybe not
Justin Fields caught a lot of flack last season..he doesn't look like Lamar
Dak definitely did last year.
Kaepernick back in the day got it... comparing his declining play to why he started kneeling

it only matters to us
Yea it certainly can happen to mixed raced QBs but how many full black QBs can you think of that came in with immediate respect? Even Dak had a lot of respect initially until he repeatedly shit the bed.

Who'd they do that with? I feel like you're working yourself up over straw man arguments. Where was all this Levis as the #1 pick at? And who said the QB's are more athlete than QB?
Black QB's were 3 of the first 4 picks. That's what happened in reality by the people that give the opportunities and write the checks.
The first time in history, which is the anomaly.
“
Not everybody is sold on former Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL Draft.
In Peter King’s latest Football Morning in America column, the NFL insider has the former Gators star going to the Minnesota Vikings at No. 23 in his mock draft. Richardson may have the highest upside of any quarterback slated to go in the first round, but he also has the lowest floor. Not to say he is going to be the next JaMarcus Russell, but I am getting massive Vince Young vibes here.”
Why’s he being compared to Vince Young?

Not to mention the narratives about CJ Stroud and that test
The bias is still there
Just manifest in different ways

I think Russell Wilson was the first black qb I ever heard them praise his intelligence
Bryce Young is the next one I have heard them openly talk about his football IQ and how fast he processes information
All the other guys is strictly physical/athletic attributes that get praised
Rubato
it only matters to us
Russ was first, even though he was kinda mid
I forgot about that.

Because he thinks he may play like VY. And he might, shit the draft is a gamble. He also said he has the highest upside of any QB in the draft. This sounds like you think any criticism of a black player is racism.

Why didn’t he think he may play like Steve Young? If you want to use a bust comp how about Jake Locker?
Maybe we’re lost in translation how do you define discrimination in the context of this topic?

Steve Young stopped playing before he was even born. And for readers, it may be more helpful to compare him to someone they remember watching. Most people under bout 40 don't really remember SY like that. Locker had less than 100 career rushing yards, so he may have figured that's not a good style comparison.
I mean how the league is treating them as far as discrimination. That's why I was saying earlier I'm not too worried about a random scouting profile when the actual league is drafting someone #2 overall.
You didn’t answer my question but it’s alright…
