If you have ever had the chance to experience black college football then you know that there is nothing like it on the planet. Week after week the experience moves from one campus to another with celebrations, fellowship, and a family oriented atmosphere where

Traditionalists have argued for years that the quarterback position cannot be altered. Even when guys like Micheal Vick, Daunte Culpepper, and Steve McNair came along, people still felt like only the pocket passer could be successful in the league of vanilla offenses and

Why is everyone so quick to compare? Throughout the annals of sports there have been sports figures that careers have been doomed because they were immediately compared to other sports greats. Comparisons are good but realistically can there ever really be the next…?

Let’s take a look at the numbers of quarterbacks of color in the NFL
The problem is that NFL general managers and owners do not like to take chances on quarterbacks who don’t fit the traditional profile. I’ll give credit where credit is due; some teams like the Titans/Oilers have had Warren Moon, Steve McNair, and now Vince Young. Also the Vikings drafted Daunte Culpepper to replace Randall Cunningham, and later took a chance drafting Tarvaris Jackson. Philadelphia gets credit as well for drafting both Randall Cunningham and Donovan McNabb while offering a home to Michael Vick during his troubles. For the most part NFL GMs shy away from the athletic quarterback unless they are drafting them to play another position or to run gimmick plays or the “Wildcat”.
