Its a fact dude. I know Woodhead wasn't D1 but do you REALLY think if he was black he would have gone undrafted? No fricking way! Its just the way the world and the NFL works..
I initially misread your port. I thought you were saying white RBs who tear up D1 are drafted higher than a black RB who does just as well.
That being said, I understand where you are coming from with the race card. WHat I am saying is that if cam and luck's situation are reversed, it still wouldnt matter because the combination of offensive scheme, system, and length of time as a D1 starter outweighs any other possible racial factor.
I do not believe that race is a part of it at all. But even if it was, that factor would be dwarfed by the other reasons I just stated. I believe that if the panthers honestly thought cam newton is a better qb than luck, they would take him over luck. If they thought luck was better and drafted him, then it would be because of the reasons I previously stated, not because he was white or black.
I'm done reiterating my point for the 50th time

I understand what you are saying. I also don't know if the scouts and GMs are intentionally using race, if they are no one will admit it, but the fact is race is a factor.....even if it is a subconscious one.
