But he would be smarter, have a better arm, make more accurate throws, be more of a leader in the locker room, command more respect, be a better team player and not a me me me guy. Heck he would have won the damn superbowl in the ATL.

Knee-jerk works good as ever. Now, if we can just get you to start putting your hedge $ where your mouth is, we really got something. thx fellas.

If Vick was white like that, he would have played tight end in prison.

not wide receiver?

I'm eagerly awaiting the "What if Tim Tebow was an Atheist" story now....

What if Tom Brady looked like Ron Jeremy?

What if Peyton Manning wasn't a robot?

Guys, I can do this all day.

If Vick was white he would've gotten terrific grades at a great school, gotten accepted to a top tier university and gone on to graduate with three degrees and eventually cure cancer.

But he was born black and never had white privilege so he's stuck making millions playing a sport at which he had no natural or biological predisposition towards succeeding at and did it all despite his skin color.

I'm starting to think about 4 people in America read beyond this article's title.

Based on the title, why the hell should anyone read the article? I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything for bypassing the article and going straight into making fun of it.

Well for starters, the author didn't give it the title and has publicly lamented it.

I wonder.

If he were a (slow) white guy, or maybe even a QB who could.run a bit in.college like a Tebow or whomever...what would have happened?

Would Vick have never been a college QB, not being able to rise to that level by beating people with athleticism? Just another college QB who wound up selling insurance or something?

Would his million dollar arm and Peyton Manning legs have caused him to learn to actually be a passer and he would have made it anyway?

Maybe its true that Vick wouldn't get so much criticism if he were white. But its also true that there is a large chance he wouldn't have made it to the NFL either. He could have just been Eric Crouch

Race doesn't matter. For anything. Ever.

People that are so focused on race are idiots.

What if Tiger Woods was black? How would of the media handled his drama with his extranged wife?

:rolleyes:

Whatever.....Vick is a dumbass.

Well, with race in sports come stereotypes...

In the NFL, if you're a QB and you're black, most people are going to assume that the black QB is:

More athletic - will tuck and run it and can at times be one of the faster players on the field.

Not as great of a student of the game as a white QB - let's his god given abilities and natural talent take over as opposed to studying the other teams defensive formations, holes and weaknesses.

Not as good of a team leader - Flashier ego, makes stupid decisions off the field, sometimes bad PR, brotha gotta get paid.


Some of which are true given past players histories...but it certainly doesn't mean that ALL black QB's are like that. I even will go to a degree and say that the video game world has manipulated people's thinking. To add to my first stereotype, most black QB's in video games are fast lol. You won't find too many white QB's that are fast in Madden...maybe Tebow but I dunno.
