What is it that Rush Limbaugh has against black quarterbacks in the NFL?

for some reason so called conservatives feel that anyone not like them must be categorized in a bad light no matter who they are. so if we apply that logic to the sports media, his comment that the media is "desirous" to see a black qb succeed is akin to a racial qb quota system. any quota system is viewed as preferential to minorities. so if minorities have any hint of preferential treatment then it must be viewed as an atrocity. translation.. minorities have their place and the media should keep them in that place. it his his job to voice this venom. god forbid a black qb can actually have talent :(

Wish I had the rating to be able to give you a mark for bringing this up awesomebill. Week after week Irvin & Jackson (yes Tom Jackson too) have a racial hoedown. They laugh about it all the time but imagine if Steve Young or Jawariski was to go down that road. \n As for ESPN repremanding Irving I actually think it's promoted at ESPN. During baseball season I mute my television due to the one-sided  Joe Morgan. It's not like they're trying to hire intelligent african americans they seem to want contoversy. Warren Moon was one of the better commentators around as was ronnie lott and CBS's James Brown in my opinion is the best of all commentators any color (remember when you 1st watched Fox sports sunday this year and thought something was missing...Brown). Where are they? Really it's a slap in the face to the african american community to allow those mentioned to continue. Although Deion is a bit eccentric i don't ever recall him being bias.\n The best way to ease racial tensions is for those in the media to leave it alone. I agree Irving needs to be fired.

Denver's rushing defense is actually ranked seventh in the league, and they'll be focusing a lot of attention on Parker thanks to Ben Roethlisberger's struggles.  McGahee, however, isn't in a much better position--Green Bay's rushing defense is ranked ninth, and his quarterback hasn't been playing well either.  Here's another eerie similarity: both guys are averaging exactly 80.6 yards per game and exactly 3.8 yards per carry!  Any way you look at it, this one's a coin flip.  However, I'd go with Parker because his speed makes him more likely to come up with a big play.

He doesn't give his best effort on every play. This is easily misdiagnosed sometimes, because of the scheme, and the play. It usually refers to defensive lineman. Sometimes they are supposed to rush the Qb and sometimes they have to stay put to cover the run, so it looks as if they are not giving the best effort.

You are correct Hodge is a bona fide IDIOT!    His commentary on NFL subjects is continually slanted due to the fact he was a FB and is still a raving Steelers fan.  If Jimmy played had for "Picksburgh", you'd be hearing a different line out of Mr. Hodge.

Well, He throws for one of the most hated teams in the NFL. Not sure why they're hated..could be the fans, or the fact that they've never been any good until recent history. Also he was blamed by not only TO, but by his fans for losing last years super bowl...Whether it be poor clock management, or lack of energy. And I'm sure someone will say it's because he's black, which I don't agree with since Culpepper, Vick, and Brooks are all highly rated black QB's.

Because he's black and ESPN is spineless!!! They don't want Jesse Jackas* and Fat As* Sharpton protesting outside of their upscale Bristol, Conn offices..\n\nMichael Irvin has said so many stupid things that this final act of racist commentary should've been enough to put ESPN over the top and fire him....They suspended Tom Jackson for calling Irvin "Retarded" on air but won't do anything about Irvin's racist comments towards Tony Romo and his family...His grandmother in particular....It's a sad double standard world we live in!!\n\nI wonder what the outcry would be if Michael Richards said something to that effect..

What?  Are you a racist?  How dare you?  How DO black people talk?  Just kidding...im preparing you for some ridiculous repsonses you may get.  I dont even know who Ben Roelisberger is.

lf you ask l will say that there is nothing like racism in football.what is football? you can believe with me that football is a round lader and it involves two parties and this two parties wants to win and in their teams they choose black and white peoples.\n the strategy to win a match is to make your oponent feel bad then some teams advised their fans to shout to the other oponent to anger with whatever they think.(EITHER THE FANS SHOUT ON BLACK GUY OR THEY INJURED THE WHITE GUY)LUIS FIGO IS AN EXAMPLE OF IT WHENEVER MADRID IS PLAYING WITH BARCELONA,Barcelona always throw bottle or any hard weapon on him. let me stop here.

I am so sick of answering this question \n\nOK for the last time....\n\nA push is a defender fully extending his arm to gain an advantage over the defender. Jackson's arm was fully extended....Good Call bad timing\n\nVideo Replay must provide UNDISPUTIBLE evidence to overturn a on-feild ruling. What made that play stand was the fact that although you "know" where the ball was, you still can not determine wether he was over or not before the hit....\nGood Call\n\nNow the below the waist thing....\nBad Call\n\nBut what about Jeramy Stevens "not fumble" or the fact that Rothlisberger was blocked in the back on the int. return. Or Shaun Alexander not showing up, Poor Clock management at the close of the game and 1st half, Hasselback throwing 2 passes out of bounds (inside the 20), allowing Big Ben the time to throw a 60 yd pass to Hines Ward, the 2 missed tackles on the longest run in Super Bowl history......And last but not least Josh Brown missed 2 FG's. \n\nSo don't blame the refs.\nBlame the Team.

I still can't believe they passed on Reggie Bush. I think that   Mario Williams may be just as good of a player but he has some big shoes to fill. The Texans attendance has gotten progressively worse since their first year and they need to sell tickets.  The fans were screaming for Vince Young but over a few months they warmed alittle to the idea of Bush only to not get either.  The QB and RB position have so many more measurable also it makes it very hard for a DE to keep up in popularity.  A QB has passer rating, yards, TD and YDs to be judged by and a RB has rushing yds, catches, tds and YDS/rush. All a DE has is sacks to be measured by.  Even if Mario Williams turns out to be the best DE of his era.  In order to be justified to Texans fans he also has to be better than Bush and Young which is unlikely.

Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Williams, the first African American quarterback to play in a Super Bowl game, was the MVP in Super Bowl XXII.

Chad Johnson is better, because he talks the talk and walks the walk. If T.O. shut up once in a while, he would be better.

I've felt the exact same thing for about a year now.\n\nThe problem with the NFL now versus 20 years ago is that offensive systems have become so complex that only a few quarterbacks can learn them, and even they must have plays called from the sidelines.  (The last NFL quarterback to call his own plays - for the whole game - was Jim Kelly.  Nobody else has since the early 1980s.)  \n\nOf course, quarterbacks no longer calling their own plays is an *absolutely* *unrelated* to the 40 second play clock instituted during that decade.... (Yeah, right!)\n\nHaving quarterbacks who alternate based on the series and situation is a good idea.  There are many benefits to it:\n\n1) Injuries.  When 50-80% of players use steroids and HGH, having two game-ready quarterbacks is a good thing.  In the last decade, nearly half the NFL's starting quarterbacks in any given year missed games due to injury.  That never happened in the 1960s, 1970s, or even the 1980s.\n\n2) Less to learn.  Quarterbacks who have lots of talent but not the ability to learn more complex systems could thrive.  (If anybody is thinking "Jimmy the Greek" or "Rush Limbaugh" crap about black QBs, please kill yourself.  There are more white QBs by percentage who wash out than blacks.)  Improvisational players could get by on talent in ways that they can't now.\n\n3) Versatlity.  Very few players can do everything well.  Switching QBs could force defenses to switch personnel, leading to more defensive lapses and penalties just by changing one offensive player.\n\n4) Play calling.  Why have a receiver bring in one play at a time or use hand or radio signals and risk miscommunication, when an offensive coordinator could send in a QB with 5-10 plays at a time, enough for 1-2 sets of downs?  There would be less mistakes, and as they say in hockey, "fresh legs" because the player catches his breath.\n\n5) Defensive hell.  Marv Levy once talked about using Jim Kelly at QB and Doug Flutie at halfback and the havoc it could have caused defenses, this during the years of the "Ace" formation with one running back, Thurman Thomas and three wide receivers.  (He never tried it because Bills' management wouldn't let him.)  Just imagine having two capable passers on the field at once, one of them capable of running or receiving as well.  If Pittsburgh had used Neil O'Donnell and Cordell Stewart in this way, maybe both of them could have had great careers.\n\n\n.
