This board cant discuss anything without turning it into a race argument.

Im black BTW, im not disagreeing with that argument. My argument is... do you think Luke Falk could play WR? Do you think Sam Darnold can play WR? no because they dont have lamar jacksons athletic ability.

You arent going to ask any joe blow to play the position. Ypu have to think they can succeed at said position. Hence why more black than white QBs are asked

Yeah I saw your point for sure, Pryor would be the perfect example I think since he even has had some real success at WR. However, I don't understand why Jackson would be asked to do so before being given a shot at QB since he's by far the best of the passers that we've been bringing up (Jones, Edelman, Tebow, etc.).

It made sense with a guy like Denard Robinson or Pryor, guys who were never prolific passers but were elite athletes.

There are only 32 starting QBs in tbe nfl. And well over 100 WRs getting regular run. Which is easier to succeed if you have the athletic ability?

Sometimes its not than man trying to hold us down. Its the man turning us around and pointing us in a nee direction.

With that said, i think he will be an ok QB with right team. (But thats damn near every QB)

I believe it was phoenix i quoted earlier.... im sure others like me thought he was smaller than he is.

I was expecting under 6 ft and under 200. He doesnt look 6'2 215 watching him play.

I assumethats where tjat comes into play

Didn't teams ask Tebow to be a RB or FB?

See how that works?



Yeah but they were garbage prospects. System players who were never considered high caliber prospects.


Jackson threw a talent poor team on his back and won some big games. Nobody will convince me that he is a worse prospect than Allen yet nobody is demanding that Allen convert to TE.

Talk when he runs a 4.7 and displays the athletic ability to do so.

OU's Orlando Brown completed one of the worst combine performances ever for a lineman, if not overall.
