now *this*? yes, this is about race. i have a hard time thinking of any white quarterback tagged with "can't read defenses" coming out.
brett favre didn't know what a nickel defense was when he got to the league.
if you do your homework, *maybe* your mom will let you use her car friday night.
"needs to work on" and "can't" are two different things.

andrew luck. stafford avoided it, too, but mostly because he had no competition as qb1 in his draft. we also didn't *really* pick leinart apart. nor eli manning. i'm talking pre-draft, to be clear.
no he wasn't. he wasn't picked apart in the nfl, either.
not really. plenty of white qb's get their games picked apart. how much of it you see in public discourse has to do with the narratives surrounding a draft. how much competition he faces. stuff like that.

fwiw, someone brought this up in conversation with me a couple of weeks ago.

BUT...what that person -- who's quite informed -- said was this was a function of the ohio st offense. sticking with no. 1, waiting for the receiver to decide which option to take on the route.

serious question: has rodney garner really been a game changer in the last 10 years?
i know that when you get the rep of "great recruiter," you never lose it. but it feels like it's been a while since rodney garner was a great recruiter. great for delivering the word uga thought cam newton was a tight end, tho.
yup. tell me where you work and i'll question that sh t, too.

the comments are basically thousands of re-enactments.
the moral of the story is he’s a herb and so are you.
