No teams have been dropping him deeply on their boards because of that. .
on the NFL Shield at this point
cats need to wake up man. I love sports as much as the next man but ill be damned if i dont see whats right in front of me. ALOT of white/jewish people are living very comfortable and rich lives off the blood, sweat and tears of black athletes. Im not only talking about owners and head coaches but assistant coaches(alot of whom get these positions strictly from relationship/family ties), agents, team doctors and physicians, sports radio and t.v hosts, sports writers/columnists, sideline reporters, etc. And most of these positions are NOT held by minorities. And thats not even including the college game where players arent getting paidPreach man.....taking folks straight to church.
. And it still baffles me how there arent more black head coaches. Blacks have been the majority of players for awhile now, you would think that would translate into more black head coaches by now. I cringe when i see a single white head coach surrounded by a gang of young black men. Shyt just doesnt feel right to me.
I know, and it is BS.
And frankly, I don't know how it would change. I am a hypocrite b/c I click on the links and eat this anonymous stuff up too. Ugh..
the nfl and its culture are like these majority black towns that are dominated by racist white folks politically. mlb is like a seattle, majority white but they sure like to celebrate their past icons: like hey we might be looking pasty but check out our history.
Damn dude is your last name Mariota or something?
If you were following the draft process closely, you'd know that the idea of Marcus Mariota dropping to the Eagles at 20 is highly uncommon. The links you posted are from over a month ago, so here's a collection of some of the most recent prominent mocks:

That Dilfer link you posted was from over 3 months ago, and even then it's a valid critique. If you play in an unorthodox system, you're going to get question marks about it. Pro-style qbs have always been held in higher regard than unorthodox style qbs. This isn't some new argument coming out of the woodworks for Mariota. The point of my "rambling nonsense" was that when comparing the totality of the scouting process, the idea that Mariota has been "fukking killed", especially in comparison to Jameis Winston, is garbage. It's not even an unreasonable thing seeing as Jameis has all these incidents on his belt and Mariota is a choir boy. The scouting process for Mariota has been more or less fair. He's not getting comparisons to Johnny Manziel, so why is Jameis getting comparisons to Jamarcus? The league would love it if Mariota was the first overall selection because he's a "safer" face than Jameis.
Its very convenient to write stories like this. They do numbers. Look how Nolan Nawrocki won last year. Meanwhile Bob Mcginn(writer) can feign ignorance and hide behind "hey, i'm just quoting my source" .
