    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    The NFL doesn't want it's QBs to have opinions or personalities. Really any of it's players but especially QBs. As for 'plenty' of black QBs, I'd disagree. Half the QBs in the league (rough estimate) are black now. Do we think it's because black people just started playing QB? The NFL isn't...

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    I think a lot of people have posed that as a possibility. Im not really one of them, but I think its a valid thing to at least wonder about given the history of the NFL and black QBs. I think Sanders is a minus athlete with real flaws as a QB

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    As do I. But you also can't ignore reality when doing so. Its like starting a 100m dash at the 50m mark then pretending that doesn't affect the results. Certain groups have hoarded resources and exploited others for centuries so unfortunately the 'well lets just start being kind to everyone...

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    The simple counterpoint to that is that I do remember a bit about the Oline stuff. Not great. The Twitter thing is hilarious though. NFL types don't like QBs to have personalities though

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    I think its way more about the gifts than the attitude. I'm not sure what he's done that makes anyone label him as having a truly bad attitude. He's cocky, he celebrates, and he's unapologetic. But so are tons of QBs.

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    Ehhhhh. I think that's an overly generous outlook to give to a society that has in no way, shape or form earned it. A society that has categorically proven to only address racism when the very thing you speak of happens: People making loud, constant accusations of it. There has literally...

    Shedeur Sanders’ Slide in NFL Draft Cost Him $44 Million

    Mentioning Whitlock and Jemelle Hill in the same sentence is wild as they're polar opposites. Also, while I don't personally think race was much of a factor in the Sanders situation, the folks that somehow manage to act offended at the suggestion that race is an issue are hilarious to me...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    You were doing ok until you took a left turn. I didnt defend anything Smollett did. I spent plenty of time cracking jokes about him when that happened and never believed it in the first place. I simply stated that his lying didnt do any damage to anyone sincere about any of this. Nobody decided...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    I don’t fully disagree with your statements but I generally take issue with the sentiment. Black people (and non black allies) have fought tooth and nail to get every right/concession, the whole while being shouted down by huge segments of the population. The Jussie Smollets of the world only...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Aw the old ‘call the person discussing potential racism racist’ trick. Been making appearances on message boards for decades lol. Thats an old trick that only works on the stupid. Charles Hallman is pro black and pro community. The only folks that would ever dream of calling him racist are those...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Youve missed about 300 years, my guy based on your previous post. No need to go back and forth. You already disagree with everything I have to say before I say it. Have a great day.

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Ill say there are plenty of clear reasons for the firing that had nothing to do with race and it is fully justifiable. Even if its currently true that black CBB coaches get a shorter leash he hasnt done anything to earn the benefit of the doubt.

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Ill just say I wholeheartedly disagree with that as does actual historical fact and leave it at that.

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Maybe, maybe not. I offered no opinion about that nor do I have much of one other than that Ben Johnson hasnt earned the right to another year so his fate was rightfully murky. I do know that we live in a country where everyone agrees racism exists but there still seems to be immediate backlash...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Historically? Absolutely. In 2025? I don’t know. I dont have the data to give an informed opinion and also situations are unique. That said this is America and anyone who dismisses the potential of prejudice at play, even subconsciously, out of hand without consideration is usually being...

    Hallman: Black coaches' shelf life is much shorter & benefit of the doubt much less practiced as opposed to their White counterpart

    Charles Hallman has been a fixture in the community for decades. Just because you arent familiar with him doesnt make him a ‘nobody’. That word is far more descriptive of anonymous message board posters than someone with his name on everything he puts out there

    I think people overestimate the value of experience in a blowout game. A guy playing 2 series at the end of a game well out of reach, playing next to backups, likely against other backups, in a pressure less situation isn't going to make much of a difference in terms of their future...
