Seeing things like this with Croom and also Kamara and Kelly, I am concerned over the management of personnel by our coaches. Kamara is a first round back and barely touches the ball. Croom proves to be a playmaker and we barely used him at all. Byrd getting 1-2 touches a game. I'm concerned about that

I guess the NFL is racist against white DB's and RB's too.

Would it really surprise you? Sports is still an area where it's 'ok' to be racist as long as you use the right terms but make no mistake about it coaches of all colors make assumptions based on a players color. There was a great graphic a while back that showed how black and white players were described by draft evaluaters and it really revealed that scouts, GMs, coaches and others still tend to think of players in certain ways based solely on color (the descriptions really drove that home - white guys described one way while black guys were described another regardless of who they were or what there skills were there were certain terms almost always applied if you were x color. We like to think we're there as a society but we're not.

While I understand your point, you just named 4 players and that doesn't include Dobbs, Malone, and Jennings, who were great weapons. There is one football, and this is much easier said than done. They all can't get 7 touches a game.

True. But if Alvin is really a first round talent that's pretty bad. Plus, we saw how better Kelly was than Hurd in this offense also

That's legitimate, but they were obviously trying to please their 5 star RB. Hurd did a lot of good things. Again, it is just so easy to say this after the fact.

I will be a little surprised if Kamara is taken in the first round. Just don't think RB's are valued that much.

Dobbs 4 Heisman said:
$$$ >>> wins

NFL is above all else a money making enterprise. Right now its the most popular sport in North America largely because the faces of the sport (the top QBs) are white. Too many black QBs means the faces the league will change from white to black. That would make the NFL more like the NBA and Joe public wouldn't identify with it quite as much as they do now.

Why else do you think the NFL is going to the FCS ranks to get QBs? They're running out of white prospects in the FBS ranks because all the top teams are now running spread read option schemes. Even mighty Alabama now has a black QB.

Or......
Maybe people just like football.
Maybe you can drop a black qb dead center of the south, let's say at places like Clemson SC, Knoxville TN, Tuscaloosa Alabama, or even put them on top at Carolina Panthers or.. (you get the point) Just maybe you can do this and not only will people still watch, the attendance/audience even rise?
Crazy huh?
Maybe the NFL just prefers the pro-style over dual. Unless you think Tebow was black also.
Racism has to be fought on a grass roots level. Therefore, I propose VN ban your racist azz, so that you stop pretending to speak for all the great African American posters that are here.

Dobbs 4 Heisman said:
Little to no chance Dobbs goes undrafted. Much worse QBs get picked every year. I don't know what scouts volfanngatorland is talking about but I haven't heard any word from official NFL sources on Dobbs draft position right now. The only chatter is from the internet clowns like Matt Miller and Lance Zierlan. These guys are overwhelmingly idiotic and rarely know anything.

Plus anyways, the hot thing right now according to these internet scouts is to discount accomplished black QBs like Deshaun Watson and Josh Dobbs while elevating marginal white QBs like Mitch Trubisky and Nathan Peterman.

Hilarious coming the a guy who's been discounting Watson for the pst 3 years

would have liked to have seen Kamara get the ball, but Croom was as likely to drop the ball as he was to catch it.
