The Caste System reared its head again recently in Miami. The Dolphins
are saddled with a trio of journeyman QBs and appear to be willing to
start the season with the completely inept Gus Frerotte at the helm. On
a fantasy web site I just read that coach Nick Saban has no interest in
former #1 overall draft pick Tim Couch. Okay, it's bad enough that this
clueless new coach doesn't think that a once potential superstar like
Couch might just be an upgrade over Freorotte and co., but then I read
in a followup item that this same rocket scientist coach is very
interested in Saints' QB Adrian McPherson, who might be cut. Huh? This
alleged young genius doesn't even want to look at Couch, who didn't
play that poorly on a horrible team in Cleveland and is still
relatively young, but does have an interest in a nothing black QB who
made the ESPN lowlights earlier this preseason when he lined up behind
his guard instead of the center. This is a perfect example of the kind
of odds even the most talented white college players (like Couch) face
in the NFL, even when playing the one skill position they are still
allowed to play.
