As a P.S. to my comments, Tree,
when the game became more dynamic, the athleticism of
black QB's began to outweigh the talent of "traditional" quarterbacks..
Certainly, as the sport accepted their abilities, only the greatest
"pocket" passers such as Brady & Montana could compete with the current crop of guys
like Mahomes & Hurts.
Until I learned better, I simply accepted the stereotypes associated
with that conventional wisdom. "That blacks were soldiers, able only to run fast,
but lacking the intellect to command a team."
Warren Moon started the whole shift away from that way of thinking, IMO.
Similarly, Derick Jeter & the"Splash Brothers" have brought the same understanding to
their respective sports, as well.
