Sure it's easy to dismiss Irwin's opinion as a coked out dunce who took one to many shots to the skull. However, I feel there's some truth to how the media portrays a black QB and a white QB's struggle.

Irvin's a racialist.

Maybe if there were someone other than Jerry running the place, they'd set Romo down in place of Orton. Only problem is ... Orton sucks also. And, as much as they dig on Romo, he wasn't on defense when they let the pack come back from 25+ points down. Was he?

They give up that huge lead, fall behind and then he throws 2 INTs in the final minutes...

That last interception was a combination of Beasley quitting his route and the Packers DB making an unbelievable INT.

Romo gets a lot of blame but like you said....he doesn't play defense.

So when RG3 sucks, it's on him, and when Romo sucks, it's on his defense? You know whose DEF is worse in PPG than DAL??? WAS.

I get that Romo gets his share of criticism, but it just the way they get critiqued. I don't recall people calling Romo a primadonna. PPL talk about his fragile ego, not his inflated ego. And they say things like you, 'he can't do it all' and 'he needs more help.'

It's not RG3's fault his stud skill players are old ass Moss, Pierre Garcon, and a diamond in the rough Morris. RG3 won't ever even get a chance to choke as many times as Romo has.

The hype behind RGIII was enormous. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Winning is the ultimate deodorant.

IF this shit is actually as bad as they're saying ( I have no idea) I'd imagine it was going on last year as well, they just happened to be winning.

So that means that Andrew Luck is going to fall harder right? Because his hype was bigger than RG3s.

I agree for sure. The scrutiny wouldn't be as wide spread nor hard the 'skins not bet the house on him.

I just don't get the "ego" thing. He pumps Subway for christ's sake.

Google "RG3 ego." It has it's own twitter handle. And "ego" is just one version of saying he's "me-first."

Either way. I'm tired of hearing about RG3 period. He won't last taking hits, and the 'skins were idiots for trading a draft away for any one player.

Whitlock is obviously racist.
I can't believe you guys are crying race on this.

Most aren't. And I'm not claiming his benching is racist or that he needs to play better than a white QB to be accepted. But it's a typical narrative to call some players divas and rarely if ever are those players white.

It wouldn't surprise me, and I almost agree, but perhaps Shanarat just hates endorsement deals for shitty food products like Chunky Soup and Subway

Yeah, that's what it means...whosever big...falls...?

And I disagree...I would say RGIII had the edge in hype, not to mention his face on commercial after commercial, ad after ad...maybe that's just because Luck is ugly, but still.

Deberg_1990 12-16-2013 05:00 PM

Did this narrative take place when JaMarcus Russel was benched? How about Freeman being replaced for Glennon?


In the NFL its all about performance. Doesn't matter what color a player is. That's just an excuse.
