OK, forget the Rush Limbaugh reference. If some NFL scout said Joe Blackqb was going to slide to the 2nd round for no reason other than he was black (regardless of its veracity), you know it'd be a huge deal. So yeah, the NFL teams in question (which haven't been leaked) are acting racist. No big surprise, but this kind of stuff usually comes from someone other than NFL employees.
What's the difference between Tebow & Vince?
I don't know. I'm just not seeing it.
If someone was to say Tebow would have been a top 5 pick if he were black, I'd give that more credibility.

Tebow is left-handed?

NFL teams only care about winning. I think it is ridiculous to believe a player won't be picked because he is white.
Funny but that is the exact same thought that I had that told me he wouldn't be as succesful in the NFL. Lefty QBs tend to throw things way off and they force your RT to be a LT in terms of protecting the blindside.

Total BS. He went far beyond that and Jackson and everyone on the set reacted - Link
Now I tend to the thought he was pushing his political statement rather than being truly racist but it certainly is a fair question.l
I don't think the comment was overtly racist as much as with how wrong it was you couldn't help but wonder what the motivations behind the comment were.
Toby Gerhart reminds me of a slightly more elusive Ron Dayne.
I don't want the Gerhart Fan Club to get upset with me about that comparison, which I'm making knowing I will catch flack. I like Gerhart and would not be upset in the least if we get him on our team. I'd just rather it be b/c we selected a LG like Asamoah in the 2nd and Gerhart in the 3rd.
I just don't see Gerhart being able to turn the corner and outrun defenders on a consistent basis in the NFL. He's a power, betwen the tackles type of guy that just kind of bumbles his way down the field. I say bumbles because it's not pretty, but it's effective! I think he'll get consistent yardage up the middle but if we're spending a 2nd on a RB, I'd like it to be a guy that has a higher probability of taking it to the house, a guy that fits this scheme a tad better and someone who can turn the corner consistently.
Yea, the thing is, I totally agree with you! Getting consistent yardage is so important. Running on 1st and/or 2nd down successfully will consistently give us 2nd/3rd and shorts. That's how you keep the chains moving, the clock ticking, and convert on 3rd/4th downs. If Toby is the pick in the 2nd/3rd round, I think he's that guy for us and I think he'll get the job done.Attack boys!
In all seriousness, your concerns are legit. He will not break many 20, 30, 40 yard runs. But he will consistently get 4-5 yards per carry, and does have the speed to make a few of those longer runs. Plus, he has a nose for the end zone, something that is a must for the Texans.
We just have a different preference when it comes to backs. I prefer the sure thing, 4-5 yard gainers, and (it seems to me, I could be wrong, that) you like the take-it-to-the-house type back.
Whatever happens today, Go Texans!

Rush summarized his point very well, & I agree with him. McNabb received a lot of credit for winning football games,...
Rush summarized his point very well, & I agree with him. McNabb received a lot of credit for winning football games, BECAUSE HE IS BLACK...
See the difference? It is rather obvious. Rush didn't say, well gee you know McNabb is overrated because that D is really good. He said McNabb is overrated because folks wanted a successful black QB. It was stupid then and it's stupid now. It was specifically historically stupid given this guy on that team:

Gerhart's floor is Barber.
Gerhart's ceiling is Riggins.
He's worth a 2nd rd pick. IMHO
