I disagree. All of my childhood heroes were black. Most guys on this board would probably say the same.
For me, I dislike uber athletic QB's. They rely too much on their natural ability. This usually means they don't operate the offense the way it's meant to be played and will never reach their full potential as a QB. I like pocket passers. Because they are more dangerous than Vick, Newton or possibly RGIII could ever be. Look at the arc of Vick's career, minus the prison time. HOT, not so much, and may have been gone even without his prison stretch, then he decides to actually learn the QB position, and does very well. Then, back to playing his game and he basically sucks again. Newton was hot his rookie year, and lukewarm this year. RGIII could be just the same, so could Geno. It's not my fault incredibly athletic QB's happen to be black. |

He rarely turns the ball over, is very accurate with his short and long passes. He is not a mike vick, there is no resemblance at all in his game.

I really wish people would stop bringing up Vick when talking about the new era black QBs. |

I think he reminds me most of Randall Cunningham. More accomplished passer though at this point in their careers. Posted via Mobile Device |

Ummmm...might have to do with the fact that a number of our posters don't remember watching Young. (I remember, but then again, I remember when the wheel was invented.)

Race as in stereotype, yes. Racism not so much..from me anyway.
I think it is more of the old argument that Doug Campbell is the only black QB to win a SB and so on. The "numbers" show that a black QB will not have a SB winning successful career. We all know that will change as there are more and more black QBs getting chances.
