He has a point that mobile "run & gun" type QBs have a shorter shelf life. If a QB is a pocket passer or play action with a simple roll out, an injury or age does not take its toll as much. A "Run & Gun" QB having a nagging injury can't what they hired him to do.
The NFL is not racist. I have no doubt there may be a few racists in it, but the organization and system are fan.
Think about the owners and coaches. Fewer wins means financial losses and employment problems. If they think a player can help them win, they will keep him. Black, white, yellow, or wearing a pink mohawk. Winning is all that matters.
Explain why white QB's get to FAIL and FAIL and not lose their job?
Matt Flynn is was white as wonder bread, paid big money and lost his job to Russell Wilson before the first game that year.Oh, Russell Wilson is uhhhh black.
Just sayin.
There are a lot more reasons than ONE that RGIII lost his job. Also, it turned out that Cousins completed a great season.
Cousins turned out to be a top 5 QB in the NFL.

thats a little bit different.I saw wilson in a pre season game here in kc against the chiefs his first year as a starter.I got to see him perform long before he played in his first pre regular season game.after i saw him play in that game i said back then-man this guy is great,he is going to be a hall of famer some day.
He threw a pass deep down the field on third and long putting it only where the receiver could catch it between double coverage.He just made your mouth drop open.very few quarterbacks can throw a ball deep down the field accurate like that.the seahawks had no choice but to make him the starter over matt flynn.It was obvious he was a hall of famer in the making.
I did not understand it at the moment when he said this a but a buddy of mine during the draft when he was watching it he was telling me he was saying to the tv screen during the draft in the third round when wilson was still available he was saying-there he is for the taken,take him,take him. this buddy of mine knew the greatness that was in him that other teams didnt see somehow.HE should be a GM of a team.
plus look at vinnie testeverde.he was given chance after chance for several years despite what a screwup he was his first several years in the beginning.when has a black quarterback been given chance after chance like that? i cant recall. I also cant recall when a quarterback was a screwup like tony romo or jay cutler to be allowed to play for so many years despite being such a major screwup year after year but never lose their starting job. name one black quarterback who was a screwup like those two but kept their job for so many years and was given chance after chance.I cant recall one.
Here is the ultimate proof racism exists in football.the fact that art shell was the first black coach ever given a chance to be a head coach and that did not come until the early 90's and ray rhodes got fired as green bays coach his first season even though he went a respectable 8-8 is all the proof in the world racism exists in the NFL,that black QB's and coachs are on a much shorter lease than a white boy.
