Mahomes said he wouldn't go as far as to say Black quarterbacks are evaluated differently than their white counterparts. But he did say he found it interesting that only Black quarterbacks are subject to certain types of criticism.

In a recent story in The Athletic, an unnamed NFL defensive coordinator said Mahomes' game falls apart when he is forced to go beyond his first read. However, Mahomes otherwise received glowing reviews from other coaches in the piece and was ranked as the No. 2 quarterback in the NFL.

I actually think there is something to this. He has benefited from a great system and having Tyreek and Kelce. During the playoffs last year he didn't play his best. And when Tampa figured him out he struggled. Still think he is a top 3 Qb in the league but everyone has kinks in their armor.

Maybe Kyler Murray is just an entitled, lazy frick who doesn’t watch film and his team knew it. You think Russell Wilson has a “you have to watch film” clause in his contract? The answer is no, because he’s already doing that. They put it in because they knew Kyler wasn’t doing it.

Yeah and ZERO White Defensive Backs were invited to this year's NFL Combine! What a load of BS! At least 4 or 5 should have been! But NOBODY ever speaks on this!

And before people start losing their minds, remember that Mahomes was asked this question, he didn't decide to wake up one day and talk about the plight of the black QB.

No, Chiefs had to use backups at right tackle and left tackle so he was running for his life all game.

"According to Next Gen Stats, Mahomes traveled 497 yards before throwing the ball or being sacked, the most scramble yards in a game by any quarterback since 2016."

This shite is getting so tired. Nothing says racism like getting paid 500,000,000 dollars. These guys lack so much perspective…it’s actually sad. Kyler just got paid 12 figures. Lamar Jackson will be getting paid 12 figures very soon as well. It’s pathetic that we are in a place where ANY criticism of Black QBs is considered “racist”. I mean…Mahomes is being paid 500,000,000 dollars. The lack of self awareness is just mind blowing.

Lamar has maybe two-three years left of this athletic freak left in him before he starts to slow down. He’s not a long term option as QB in the NFL.

No doubt. But to say it makes you racist, I guess.

yep everyone’s a victim and absolutely everything is racist.


And ALMOST everyone is sick and tired of hearing it. The old “black guys can’t be quarterbacks” thing has been dead for a really long time. Media members who create these issues with their questions are just stirring shite, period.

Also, any reference to BBBlack people must now begin with three capital letters, per white progressives who don’t believe that black people are capable of thinking for themselves.

Kyler Murray was not doing that (Film studying) and he knows it, so, that's why they made it a stipulation. He just studied film while at camp or there at work when he had no choice, but when away while being on his own - No damn way! So, all the people who got mad last week led by Ryan "big mouth" Clark can get mad and say it's a race thing and all of that BS, but it's not. Honestly, speaking for myself, I don't think Murray justified his huge contract because he just had that 1 big season. The Cardinals are showing a lot of faith and trust in him, so, I hope he lives up to the expectations.

Isn’t he half white? Imagine being as wealthy as he is playing a child’s game yet feeling the need to jump onto one side of your heritage because above all you’ve accomplished playing victim is the ultimate achievement to you. Now I see why he married that chick and keeps his brother around, he’s exactly like both of them.

If he thinks it’s a battle to be a black qb he should really try being a white Cb…
