But you just did. It isn't about race.

Comprehension is key. Just by mentioning the word does not mean I'm getting into it.

It's not about race in a league that took Cam Ward #1 in the draft. It's about drama and potential team distractions.

The dude stinks. I watched every college game he played. Travis Hunter is the only reason he ever looked good.

And even if he does stink, I was talking about whether his dropping in the draft was race related. It is not.

Maybe he will not succeed in the NFL. But so far Dillon Gabriel can't even complete passes in practice. Shaduer did not stink tonight. At the end of the day, it's about results.

Why put that on him that he wont succeed?

He doesnt stink. I watched him the last 2 years. He holds on to the ball too long. If thats stinking then Russell Wilson should be out the league.

Exactly

Why do you think there are no black owners?

Most teams have been owned for many decades and passed down to younger generations. Are you in favor of confiscating these properties and redistributing them? Personally, I like the Green Bay model.

The 2024–25 season reportedly saw the highest number of Black minority owners in NFL history.

Oh PULEEZE. "I'm not racist, I have a black friend, see?"

My race is being profiled and put on planes as we speak. Not everything is racism. Cam Ward

The NFL IS BLACK CENTRIC let's start there ....

You don’t believe a word you wrote. 😒

He dropped for the same reason Tim Tebow dropped. No one wants a backup QB that gets more pub than the starting QB. Duh.

You don’t know what you’re talking about… go finish dipping your wings in ranch🤣

Only hot sauce for me, man.

You're too old for the "duh". To compare Tebow and Sanders is crazy

Cam Ward isn't black?

That's your ONE example? Cam Ward?

The drama and team distractions angle is bullshit. He's got a famous dad and a Twitter following, big whoop. God forbid a rookie QB is already famous, totally never happens

You all can keep saying it wasn't about race. I love how that one example is your reason for it not being about race. There have been PLENTY of white players that have caused drama and were still a high pick. John Elway, Payton Manning are 2 examples.

It's always about race. You are 💯 right

You are a special kinda stupid.

Anyone who calls someone stupid (I tell my children not to use that word. Shows you have a low IQ), because they dont agree is...say it with me...low iq.

It might have been about his dad offending the very teams that would likely need a QB by saying his son wouldn't play here or there

The NFL IS BLACK lets start there ...

The Players. ZERO owners are Black The Commissioner is and always has been white. The league actively kept Black players from head coaching and QB positions for decades. Several owners are overt racists.

Without the Black players there is no NFL. Sidebar, frankly without Blacks it's like a world without Joie de vivre. To your point, it's Succinct.

Over half of NFL player are black. The year is not 1962. Racism most definitely exists. But not for NFL and NBA players. Be real.

C'mon, man. Athletes are spectacles and an investment for entertainment purposes. Look at Tommy Tuberville. Racist to the core, but coached young black men. They can hate you and profit from you at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.

Tale as old as time. They dont have to like you to profit. I learned that they can also be racist and still care about you. Found that out after this election.

Only someone white would think this. Even in tennis read how the Williams sisters were treated.

That's totally not true. Racism is in everything we do. Just because you see a majority of black players doesn't mean it's not there. The NBA if they could would be all white but they know there wouldn't even be an NBA team without blacks, same goes for the NFL.

Abracadabra racism disappears. Stop it.

YOU be real. WHO are the fucking league OWNERS? COACHES??? racists be racisting so hard, they don't even KNOW they're being racist.

Exactly. Who owns the show, thats the real deal.

They know.

You act like I am white, lol.

Ditto. I am about you my brother.😅

Sir, I “think” you’re delusional to think that. It’s like say “the South African police force is over 50% black, therefore it’s not about race”. That was an example. Everything is the US is about race.

Did you really say the NFL and NBA are don't face racism???? 😆 🤣 😂 I bet that tone deaf comment wouldnt fly if you asked them.

Uuhh you forgot about Colin Kaepernick so soon? And the Sanders situation is clear racist collusion by the owners. “ Okay boy you gonna tell us who you will play for and who you won’t?! We’ll show you!”

Oh look, an average white man with zero self awareness telling people racism doesn’t exist in the NFL and NFL. You be real.

Not a white man. Man who has experienced racism. Not every single situation is racism. But do go on

Riiiight. You're the worst kind of racist: a closet case.

It's actually 67%, all-knowing white man. Also, post-draft analysis disagrees with your assessment.

Wow your boy really lit it up today. I’m sure you’ll whine and say he holds the ball so long because the league is conspiring against him.

Those 2 examples are hall of famers. For Christ sake these guys have drafted women beaters before. Was the sexual abuser Deshaun Watson not given a fully guaranteed contract. Settle down.

I need you to think before you comment. Were they HOFers before they were drafted into the NFL?

I need you to read the entire reply.

I can comprehend ans my comment stands

So this racist league gave a black sexual offender over $200 million guaranteed? Answer the question you’ve been avoiding.

You all HILARIOUS!! I never said they don't pay talent. I said they tried to teach Shadeur a lesson and I do believe they wanted to humble the rich Black kid with the stash loud daddy. Sure do. I don't duck anything. Don't flatter yourself.

The point is since you’re too clueless to understand is these teams don’t give a fuck about teaching a kid a lesson. They have to win games. That’s why I pointed out Watson. Why wouldn’t they try to teach a lesson to a sex offender who also happens to be black?

it was also the circus entourage he brings w/him. the top 3 draft picks this year were all Black players, so i don't think it's racism. it's *him*.

Why does that bother you lol. Why do you care what his entourage is? This is something real football fans don't give a shit about. Can he compete, period.

It's always nice to have a white man condescend on the subject of race. I am going to take my time and 🔇 each of the turds who liked this sophomoric drivel.

Lmao. Shit take

Good thing it isnt your take 😊

The problem is y’all always default to race. Shedeur holds the ball too long. YOU RACIST!!!! He never won a bowl game. Barely .500 record. FUCKING RACISTS. I think you don’t realize folks dislike his dad as a nepo parent who micromanaged his kids career. That’s helicopter karen behaviour.

Because white dads have never ever done that...RACIST!

A lot of hall of fame players the head coach of a college program? A lot of these coaches also have their son(s) on the team? Just wondering where all these dads are that did what Deion did. Try to have an actual discussion before playing your race card.

No race card to be played. Aren't you all tired of that saying? Even more so, arent you tired of saying it to people who can, for now, have an opinion on what they felt it was?

You just screamed racist the previous post over shedeur facts. Like I said. All YOU have is to scream racist. You showed your ass already.

I see youre not tired. Beating a dead horse telling others what's racist. I said what I said. Take care.

You opened with “I can go into race but I won’t” YOU DID THIS YOU FUCKING RACE CARD CLOWN. I’ve simply called you out on your repeated hypocrisy and you typically try to play the high and mighty role. Never refuted a single thing I said about shedeur or Deion. Truth hurts don’t it?

Another angry white guy. Its in you alls DNA. I bet you're all red with veins popping out your forehead and neck. Go touch grass, weirdo.

ahh yes, now attack what you believe is my race. tell me again who's the racist? thank you for proving me right about how much of a hypocrite you are. we were talking about shedeur sanders' performance on the field. within a handful of messages you're attacking my apparent race. LOLOLOL

Damn the politically correct reply. Look at the people being negative about him in the comments, and all of them look just alike. First, it was he's gonna be trash... then after he wasn't, it changed to it's just the preseason, lol. They don't like him because he isn't "humble" as a black player.

They prove my point every damn time.

The first overall pick was also a black quarterback.

Not the point. This is Shadeur specific.

That’s not how racism works. If it’s shadeur specific then it’s about the person, not his race.

I disagree. You can like ONE person and not like the race.

What? The nfl draft is among the most meritocratic things in our society. Don’t get me wrong, there’s coded language around prospects and certainly black QBs are held to a higher standard, but shadeur fell because he’s a nepo baby with a limited ceiling.

it wasn't abt his technical performance. it never was. it was abt his diva qualities. qb is a leader position and he was not and is not a leader.

He led 2 college teams. How was he not a leader? Are you going to eat your words when he becomes a leader of an NFL team

making you the leader by decree (e.g., your father is the head coach) is not the same as earning it through the respect of your fellow players. most teams don't want the drama of the sanders circus. that's not conducive to a cohesive team.

Cherry picking at its finest.

Let's check back in at the end of the season and see how it played out

Oh, please. There's teams that have gladly dealt with far worse than this. You folks are just looking for any reason to grasp at straws. Jerry Jones publicly shits on his players just FOR the media circus.

"you folks"? mmmm ok. i mean short version is he's a very good player in re: mechanics/stats and needs to develop as a leader. i don't know what else you want to hear.

You won't because it's not relevant here, but you want people to think it is.

He had a disastrous interview with the Giants, didn't train at the combine, and Deion was acting as his agent on top of his known limitations as a player. I think all of that prob hurt his draft prospects more then anything else. I can give that it maybe shouldn't have fifth round hurt, but it hurt.

Payton Manning and John Eleay have entered the chat

And then immediately left the chat. Payton did the combine, Elway nearly had a Heisman (Shed placed 8th in voting) so he could justify skipping it, neither had their famous dad as their agent.

All excuses. They still made unnecessary noise before coming to the league. Elway didn't go to the team that wanted to draft him and Manning made a stink about where he played. The Broncos are my team. I'm not mad at the outcome, they still made noise coming into the league
