that he states that black athletes have it worse than white athletes (same with hollywood). And I got told that he did not do that. Watch First take now. He's doing it, stating that black QB's don't have as long of a leash as Tebow(basically)

I think his dislike for Tebow is purely race motivated.

Had a very long leash, and he fricking sucked! Vick before he went to prison was a horrible passer and his leash was miles long



Vick is an outstanding passer now though

How long of a leash did Aaron Brooks have?

Maybe leash is a poor term considering his relation to Vick, but it seems like that dude was allowed to suck for a while and still had a job.

Didn't Vince Young take over for an ineffective veteran QB and win a bunch of games down the stretch during his rookie year? That sounds a lot like 2011 Tebow to me.

The only year he really sucked in 2005. He didn't live up to people's expectations some years but he didn't suck.

Wouldn't this be Tebow's second year in the league?

Vince Young and Vick made pro bowls and never completed only 48% of their passes. Tebow is no where near that level.

Why does Tebow have a long leash? He is winning all his games, unlike the team did with Orton before him.

How anyone with an education can actually take SAS or Skip seriously is beyond me. They are characters they or someone else created them to be. Fake! They don't report the news, they make it!

Stephen A is more critical of black athletes than anyone, you just listen to what you want to listen too.

I didn't watch today so don't know what his argument was, just based on your quote, I wouldn't agree with him.

He's right, Historically, for the most part.

Like he said...

It just rubs some people a certain way because TEBOW is getting the opportunities other QBs with similar skill sets never got. The ones that now play or did end up playing rb, S, and WR

It's a fact.

But i wa glad that TEBOW got all the stereotypical black qb pre-draft ratings/concerns. Showed were making progress
