Their skin color mattered in the 1920s through the 1990s... then things started to change in the sport, and in our society. The documentary celebrates the evolution of the sport, and the opportunities now provided to everyone, regardless of race. Nowadays, you just have to be able to play! That wasn't always the case: Black QBs used to get death threats just for trying to play. Thankfully for us, they're still alive to tell their stories.

Those guys you mentioned were just as dynamic, absolutely. But they struggled to get the opportunities to prove it. Bryce Young and Ant Richardson don't have those obstacles anymore and the documentary celebrates the journey from Marlon Briscoe all the way to Caleb Williams.
The Warren Moon saga was rough! His story was... unreal.

"Evolution" just refers to the opportunities available to Black QBs in today's version of the sport. Previously, Black QBs at the high school, college and pro levels either weren't given the opportunities to play (or even get drafted) at all, or were asked to switch to DB, WR etc. The era of Shack Harris, Marlon Briscoe and even Warren Moon were vastly different than opportunities now for Jayden Daniels, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams etc. It's not about Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid, but about the racism that existed then, that doesn't exist today.
