RGIII Benched because he is Black? Michael Irvin...
There has been no shortage of controversy surrounding Mike Shanahan’s decision to bench Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III for the rest of the season. Between speculation that Shanahan is intentionally trying to get himself fired and reports that RG3 is furious, the situation has turned into a full-blown circus. And now, Michael Irvin has attempted to introduce the race element.

During halftime of Thursday Night Football, Irvin and the rest of the NFL Network panel discussed the mess in Washington. Deion Sanders said he thought RG3 “needed a little humble pie.” Irvin basically said the Redskins wouldn’t be handling the situation the same way if they had a white quarterback.

“You are tearing him down,” Irvin ranted, via Dan Steinberg of DC Sports Bog. “I doubt that any man can come back from this, walking around three weeks around these guys that you have to lead. And I don’t want to hear about teammates either; we understand as teammates and players, quarterbacks do get special treatment.

“You don’t see people arguing when Peyton Manning or Tom Brady gets (special treatment) — I don’t want you arguing when this kid gets it. He’s the quarterback, and the rest of us brothers have to understand that and treat him as such. I’ve got an issue with all of it. … You think they could do this to Andrew Luck? Let me ask you that, you think they could do this to Luck?”

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

He's not talking strictly about the benching. He's talking about the way that the media is now basically attacking RG3 and coming up with bullshit about his ego and how he's a drama queen.

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.
Probably his agent's doing.

You haven’t done as many endorsements as many other NFL quarterbacks or young NFL stars and this one isn’t a typical athlete endorsement, what is your general philosophy on endorsements?

Luck: First of all, let me preface this by saying there are multiple ways to skin a cat and what I do is best for me and may not be best for another person. To me, I make sure I endorse things or get involved with things you don’t have to lie about when talking. Look at your bullet points and talk about it. Make sure you can talk about whatever it is I endorse because I use it every day and it is helpful. I talked to my agent and my dad early on in the process and I said let’s be creative and think about some of the things that are outside the box and specifically to MC10, it’s an outlet for some of the creative thinking that I miss from my college days and what they are doing with the health and safety in sports, I think I can help and hopefully prove that and hopefully help them continue to do good things.

Because he was hailed as a savior, they traded a metric ****-ton to get him, and he's playing like $3it.

If KC had done that and our QB was crap-tastic racial slurs would be the kindest thing said about him...

Honestly they say this about alot of highly touted QBs who struggle. Jeff George, Ryan Leaf to name a few.

If RG 3 wasn't black then Irvin would not care. He is a piece of shit. Who cares what the Skins do. Shanny and his kid have ruined them this year. The whole staff sucks and needs to go.

Irvin has not been center stage for a while so he throws the race card. Whitlock is a master of this tactic. These guys have no other way to be relevant so here we go again. Plus it gets a lot of discussion by people who get their feel goods from this crap. Its another reason why we didnt need Geno and the media circus that goes with every black QB.

They wouldn't do this to Andrew Luck because he isn't a steamy pile of suck as a quarterback.

If Dez Bryant were white, he would not have left the field with 1:22 to play. Nor would Michael Irvin bother to be his mentor.

Fair play.

Hasn't this argument between The Rat and RGIII been going on since pre-season?

And apparently the Rat was right.

Anyone can see RG3 isn't what he was. If he really is healthy he's done...
