August4th Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 also this talk of the Ravens needing to upgrade the WR room makes me wonder if they will look at AB for a yr..they already have his cousin..that would suck as a steelers fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules are pretty damn simple. So just throw a potential valuable and reflective conversation out the window? I figured this was an NFL topic in an NFL discussion forum. We’ve seen this type of hate or disregard for accomplishments at certain quarterbacks for decades. It’s a discussion of context and relevance Edited January 12, 2020 by ThatJaxxenGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, very simple concept. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the 3rd quarter, once the Titans contained the run, forced TOs and went up 28-6. Edited January 12, 2020 by Nex_Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 20 minutes ago, ThatJaxxenGuy said: The NFL as a league has a history of conservative attitudes and racist subtext. That definitely comes into play with blind hate of Lamar and saying things like he’s just a wide receiver. If you can’t see it you are giving yourself a lack of context some players have to operate in at the quarterback position. Look at the hate Cam Newton used to get for SMILING during games. People aren’t able to overlook their biases (here’s looking at you Polian) and it shows in the blind vitriol for Lamar that a lot of other quarterbacks don’t seem to be the target of. He's about the win the MVP award....the highest regarded 'season award'. People have been gushing about him all season long. We DAREN'T say anything bad about him after week 6 or so. You are finding problems that don't exist. He deserves to be criticised for poor games, and that's what he gets - just like every other QB. Tell me more about how everyone LOVES Brady and Rodgers because of their 'physical attribute' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 21 minutes ago, ThatJaxxenGuy said: Talking about Lamar in the context of an NFL fan base, a large portion that has historically sought to see black quarterbacks fail (Warren Moon could talk a lot about this topic), IS a discussion about football. That's fine, but we don't talk about race here on this site. There are plenty of other sites you can take this discussion to - just not here.

But again we’re no longer discussing this apparently so adios everyone, hope we can watch some good football today.

Im pretty certain I know why, but I cant say. If you cant handle Jackson being criticized, youre going to be boo-hooing and making these stupid claims his entire career. QBs are always the most severely criticized players...maybe in all of sports. Acting like its just black QBs is a freaking joke and shows your limited knowledge on the matter. That, or youre just ignoring reality to make it about something it isnt...which is what I suspect you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
