Does anyone know off the top of their head any white guys besides Jason Sehorn who started at CB in recent NFL history? Trivia question for a friend.
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
No... Not recent history. I think you would have to go all the way back to Roger Wehrli.Does anyone know off the top of their head any white guys besides Jason Sehorn who started at CB in recent NFL history? Trivia question for a friend.
Methinks this is absurd. I read that site posted earlier, and they make some great points. The racial disparity in the NFL and NBA is ridiculous, yet all the media talks about is how few black quarterbacks and coaches there are. I'm pissed!Methinks this thread is doomed!

Now it is..Methinks this is absurd. I read that site posted earlier, and they make some great points. The racial disparity in the NFL and NBA is ridiculous, yet all the media talks about is how few black quarterbacks and coaches there are. I'm pissed!
Sorry for hating the fact that the media jumps on how racist white owners and college athletic directors are for not having more black coaches and quarterbacks but God forbid I say anything about there not being enough white players in general. You're right.Now it is..
I totally agree Bill. My only issue is the amount of media coverage given to the lack of black quarterbacks and coaches but none is given to this issue or the issue of whites in the NBA.Hell, if the whole roster was 3-footed purple freaky people, I wouldn't care as long as they won....

This in no way was meant to be deragotory towards three-footed people with purple colored skin or even a purlish hue......

Fortunately, I'm a 4-footed purple freaky people, otherwise, you would be in deep doo-dooHell, if the whole roster was 3-footed purple freaky people, I wouldn't care as long as they won....

I hear you... It was an attempt at levity, because this thread could wind up in the NSZ quicker than you can say 'Stretch' Suba three times fast.I totally agree Bill. My only issue is the amount of media coverage given to the lack of black quarterbacks and coaches but none is given to this issue or the issue of whites in the NBA.
Personally, I want to live in colorblind society. I support the black athlete as long as he is the best player at the position. As long as my team wins, I don't care what color it is.
My point is black people say they want a colorblind society but at every opportunity mention the issue of race...
Dammit..... I'm suing my attorney's. They assured me that the disclaimer would work...I'll be seeing you in court, Texan Bill.
Crap... I didn't notice you were pissed too.Too late! I'm pissed now.
Thanks for considering us of no account.Same deal with WR's. Kevin Walter and Joe Jurevicius are the only two I can think of off my head that are noteworthy.

Interesting trend here.
Walter, Welker, Curtis and Jurevicius are all slot receivers/#3 WR's
Thoughts?
Hold on there....There are few white athletes in general. Sad but true.

Thats the point...Sorry for hating the fact that the media jumps on how racist white owners and college athletic directors are for not having more black coaches and quarterbacks but God forbid I say anything about there not being enough white players in general. You're right.
Good question. Why are there white linebackers, WRs, and linemen, but no RBs?Thats the point...
With all the black players and athletes that are littered throughout the leauge, why is there such disparity only with certain positions ? AKA positions of leadership....
because all the white guys that couldn't play had to turn to coaching.Thats the point...

I really hope you're not being serious with this question. Please answer me this: if coaches, general managers, athletic directors, etc. are ok having blacks at every other position on the football field, why exactly would they have a problem with them at quarterback and head coach? Once again,Thats the point...

Okay.... So we went from theRealJoker asking about there being any relatively current white corner backs
Don't blame the NFL. There aren't many white CBs coming from the farm system, aka the NCAA.I am shocked there are only two white CBs in the NFL.
Answer: They don't have a problem with black QBs. The owners, GMs, head coaches and staff want whoever is going to win for them. Take a look around at the black GMs and head coaches in the league, and look at who they are picking for QB. Ozzie Newsome drafted Troy Smith, then this year, he decided to draft Joe Flacco.Thats a good question. Wish I knew the answer.
Good point. For a recent example look at former Notre Dame WR Jeff Smaridija (however the hell you spell his name). He decided against pursuing a career in the NFL to sign with the Cubs as a pitcher. Who can blame him? He'll get a guaranteed contract in baseball, but he wouldn't be able to get that in the NFL.Don't blame the NFL. There aren't many white CBs coming from the farm system, aka the NCAA.
Hopefully this adds to the discussion. If you don't think Div. 1A schools stereotype, you're crazy. This is where the problem comes in. I know directly from the horses mouth that they do. A buddy of mine plays for Texas A&M. His name is Roger Holland. If any of you are Aggie fans, he is our punt returner.I think you field the best team you can, and I love how the Texans are doing it. Quality, smart, high character, community-involved, leaders and good/very good football players. You pick the best players, coaches, other personnell based on the above requirements and that's it.
I think it's absurd to "get blamed" for not interviewing a coach even if you have no intention in hiring him. When 'we' hired Kubiak this time around, didn't we get blamed for not interviewing any black coaches? Well if we saw what we wanted in Kubiak, you shut down the interviewing process and hire him before someone else does.
Same goes for Rick Smith... If he was the first guy you interview for GM, and he fits exactly what you want as the GM of your franchise, you hire him right away. Who cares if we don't "interview" a white GM, just to say, 'oh yea sorry, we were just kidding. we have absolutely no intention in hiring you because we've already decided on somebody. we're just wasting your time that you could use to go find another job.' All I know is I have yet to find somebody that DOESN'T like Rick Smith as our GM. Maybe we should have interviewed a black OL coach just to be fair instead of hiring Alex Gibbs on the spot?
The road goes both ways and I'm pretty darn happy at the players and personnel (Kubiak, Smith, etc) we're getting. I do wish, however, we did have at least 1 3ft purplish freaky person... 1 is all im asking for!
Back to the topic of a lack of white corners... I presume the better athletes and cornerbacks stick with the position longer and win position battles and make the teams more... they just happen to be black.
