again with the records... craig kenzel is 3-0 as a starter, he's obviously the best qb in the nfl, and the sole reason the bears are winning those games, right?
(btw, not an insult, its an honest question)

Let me try to enlighten you. First of all, I am a 37-year old black man who has heard enough statements made consciously or unconsciously by whites when describing black quarterbacks that are not used when describing their white counterparts. That's why I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
To call someone a racist without explaining to them some of the offensive language or terminilogy used to describe black QB's is shallow and I'm not into that. People generally refer to Micheal Vick as a "running" QB. You know why that's offensive? He's not a running QB, He's a QB who has the ability to run and throw which is greatess weapon against the defense. It marginalizes Vick to appear to not really be a QB but more of a runningback who just happens to throw the ball here and there. The same thing can be said about Culpepper.
The best QB's in the league are Peyton Manning, Micheal Vick, Donovan McNabb, Daunte Culpepper and Ben Rothlisberger. What do they all have in common? They all are great runners who can beat a team with their legs as well with their arms. But Manning isn't called a running QB. He's intelligent he can use his legs to avoid the sack and throw down field. While Vick is seen as guy who is a phenomenal athlete but not really a serious QB. Do you understand where I'm coming from?
