Thought this was interesting...

"The other problem is guys don't get a chance very often to come in as backups, to maybe get a chance to learn holding a clipboard. Backup QB is still, more often than not, a white position. There are exceptions, but not many."

Good thing Lamar Jackson and Pat Mahomes are white. Otherwise people might think what Doug Williams said was one big racist lie.

This is old statement from a old interview. He said back-up. And no there are few AA back-ups and the majority of teams don't even have a AA Qb at all. I could be wrong but
the last AAQb we drafted was Vince Evans ( IN 1977) And we really never gave give
him good wr's.
LOL.....I remember Evans having to throw to Brian Baschnagel
who was wearing a caste on one arm. He was are best wr too.

If what he said is not accurate or even a "lie" how exactly is it "racist???"

Thanks in advance for your explanation.

Tell Doug to stfu and get out of America if he doesn't like it! I bet he kneels for the anthem like a coward too!

He's not wrong. I am not going to speak to the individual decisions people put in as backups Currently there are 5 second string black QBs...

I honestly don't know how that compares to history, but it probably is a high mark in the NFL in recent years.

So now that there are more blacks starting, he's bitching they aren't backups?

What makes kneeling in protest a cowardly thing? What does "cowardly" have to do with it at all?

The Bears have had numerous mediocre and bad QB's, and often gave them no WRs worth a damn. It wasn't a racial thing.

Because standing up for what you believe in an act of defiance is somehow cowardly, but going along with the herd is not. Yup. This is the mindset of the drill drill drill crowd. One seriously cannot make this up.

To sum up, an act that illustrates a challenge to a history of racial segregation, institutionalized racism, and, shall we call it racial profiling to eufamize racism, is, in this guy’s mind, somehow Han act of cowardice. I hope he was missing his sarcasm font. Remember, green means sarcasm.

I'm a little surprised that @Grimson is siding with the CCS Racists on this one and really hope that he is trolling.

Read what I said in the post again. I covered back-ups. I covered how the majority teams don't even have AA Qb's. I gave the Evans example, cuz that's the last time we drafted a AA Qb ( I could be wrong).

Yeah......I get we've had a lotta' "mediocre and bad QB's"......but read the topic of this thread. Hint: it's not about "mediocre and bad QB's"

So in these situations....when statements like this are made, my first question would be.... is Williams lying?
