It all started on Oct 8th 1953 when Chicago Bear QB George Blanda went down due to an injury. Enter Willie Thrower! Willie was the first black QB to ever line up behind center in an NFL regular season game. He completed 3/8 for 27 yards. So it wasn't much.
There were a handful of black QB's from Thrower to today.
Marlin Briscoe..... ended up at receiver
James Harris
Doug Williams....won a Superbowl!
Vince Evans...did little.
Randall Cunningham....the first real runner/passer
Warren Moon.....the best black QB!
Today we have Culpepper, McNair, McNabb and of course Michael Vick. All can run! Right there is where it's at. The "big difference!" How many white QB's can run? Well there was Steve Young! Fran Tarkenton could scramble and Bobby Douglas could run. Ok now who? No Tarkenton and Douglas will not make you forget those mentioned above. Yes Young could run with the best of them.
Michael Vick has ran a 4.26 40. He has moves! He has quicks and agility. No Steve Young did not run a sub 4.40. Who out there hasn't noticed how with the white QB, he is pretty much stuck in the pocket. Unable to really threaten a defense with his running ability. Vick, Culpepper, McNair and McNabb are a totally different breed of cat. They scare defenses to death. They can score with ball under arm. How many current white QB's can do that?
Ya see there is a big difference between Tom Brady, Brett Favre and Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb.
When it comes to throwing the ball with accuracy and guiding a team to victory yes I'm taking Montana, Marino and Unitas. Marino being the perfect example of a non athlete at QB.
My point here was to use the QB position in todays NFL to show yet another example of the big differences between black and white athletes. Black QB's are running all over the place while the white ones stand back there in the pocket. There is a reason we are seeing this.
