As an African American I will say that there isn't truth to what Moon is saying.

All criticisms that have been leveled at Newton, by the professionals, are legit concerns. White or Black when u get to this level people are going to give negatives about you when evaluating.

It would be as ridiculous to ignore the issues that Cam has as it is to ignore the problems a QB like Mallet has which have gotten plenty of attention.


Blaine gabbert..tim tebow..no one said anything about their work ethic or abilities to grasp a pro scheme.

Some how the white guys always have the work ethic and the intellect. Black QBs will always have there work ethic questioned. Cam didnt help himself with those comments..and peter king should fricking apologize for totally taking it out of context and not giving us the rest of his speech.

Are you saying no one ever makes those type of evaluations on white QBs?

Uhhh plenty of people questioned tebow's intelligence due to his background. But it was probably blind white supremacists who were unaware tebow is white.

Anytime I see the roll eyes emoticon I automatically assume the person posting in the thread is butthurt.

The OP said he was going to be the biggest bust of em all, that is a hard act to follow considering Ryan Leaf and Jamaracus Russell. Cam may not be a pro-bowl QB but I expect him to equate to a career backup at worst.

You dumb twat I said he was going to be the biggest bust of this draft.

I wonder what Moon thinks of the criticism of Ryan Mallett? He's been receiving far more criticism and has even been subject to unfounded meth usage accusations.

Then again, Warren Moon can't concern his racist arse with the woes of non-black folk.

As a Caucasian American...

Anyway, tebow was crucified by draft gurus and scouts on something as retarded as his throwing motion, and his ability to run a pro style offense...take the blinders off

People questioned Tebow like no other and many were SHOCKED he was a first round QB yet Cam is projected in top 10.

Tebow was mocked for his Wonderlic score on this board and others and questioned if he could transition from spread to pro-set.

Blaine has those same questions but his pro-day was considered great which eased many concerns. It also helped he scored a reported 42 on Wonderlic.

Bradford didn't jump around like Flava flave when he made a play either.

Tebow also produced for 3 years as a starter and did it with class while have no off the field issues. While Cam was throwing stolen laptops out of windows and raking up parking violations, Tebow was helping pygmies.

Newton and Moon can go frick themselves with a broken glass covered dildo.

SS usually posts something incredibly ignorant, which usually has something to do with race, and then never returns to defend his garbage.

no

everybody expected a sub-18 wonderlic, and were shocked (not mocked) at his results

pretty much everyone should agree with this

As a colored/negro/african american/black man I think Moon is wrong. A lot of people I know white/black like Cam as a NFL QB. But I do think Cam will be a bust.

I guess I am wrong, why did I think Tebow scored an 11 not a 22...

I know on the SEC Rant individuals mocked him in regards to what he scored on Wonderlic compared to his GPA at Florida. Guess that is where I am confusing it then.
