You know its all Vick's fault.

If he didn't suck so much, and act like a talent tease, people wouldn't hate on him so much.

The problem with Vick, is that the rare moments of brilliance so outshine the 90% of the time he's mediocre to downright terrible, that you don't realize he sucks until it's too late.

Vick's most impressive attribute is not his arms or his elusiveness, it's his ability to cause collective amnesia. You can't remember why he's not a franchise QB until the season is lost. We were just as guilty when he was here, and some on the AFMB, are still fooled by him. That said, to blame his or Vince Young's failings on their race is beyond stupid.

It must be made clear that Vince Young is the man behind the phrase "Dream Team."

Now his giant foot should be properly lodged within his mouth.

A coach sees a young athletic QB, and immediately trains him to rely purely on his athletic ability and coasts off of that, instead of putting the work in to make him a well rounded player. It's pretty much laziness on the coaching staff, and it's really not fair to the player. A concept idiots like Rush Limbaugh can't understand. Race isn't the factor, it's prejudice. The assumption a black player is more athletic is the issue, not that one race is predisposed to be a prototypical NFL QB. I think the trend will be bucked over the next decade as the baby boom era coaches start to retire.

even happens in the pros, Mora admitted to this very thing last year

I will say it must suck hard to be Nnamdi, moving from a losing team at the time to a crap team again. Oh well Eagles will continue to be a disappoint this year.

Very good assessment.

Too many don't understand the art of the step up, the side step, most get happy feet when leaving their first read, and aren't groomed to read a defense before or after the snap. And its not just black guys but athletic, big qbs in general...look at Tim tebow...just glorified running backs/receivers at the QB position
