Well, if you really care more about what people “do” than what they “are” then you’d cease all these nonsensical accusations regarding Byron Leftwich immediately. Why? Because all that these NFL teams have “done” is chosen alternative quarterback options. That’s not racist. To suggest so is pure speculation on your parts (yeah you, boney), not based on any facts whatsoever. If some team said “We will not sign Byron Leftwich because we don’t want a black quarterback,” then you would have a case based on something racist that was actually DONE. Get it yet? In other words, some of you posters here are complete hypocrites. All hot wind and lofty claims of sticking to the facts, but not really doing so at all when it comes to your typically specious accusations of racism.

Leftwich was signed by Pittsburgh due to Charlie Batch getting injured.

i don’t know. maybe there are concerns about his arm strength, or susceptibility to injury. But it is odd that he hasn’t gotten a fair chance at a starting job since he was released by Jacksonviile.

Boney only joking. You are correct in asking that question. I’ve wondered that myself as well. Just doesn’t make sense.

Byron Leftwich has won more games than he has lost and has big time heart. What is going on?

and how is me wanting Byron Leftwich go get a fair shake me being “touchy” any way?

I’m not allowed to ask why Leftwich couldn’t get a shot but Miami signed Pennington 15 minutes after he was released by the Jets?

I figured I’d ask rather than do what some people do, assume.

Origin,

I don’t respond when people try to tell me I’m something that I’m not. It saves time to just let it go.

Mizzo,

why would I need a prescription?

I didn’t say I didn’t think he was an NFL quarterback. I just am not about to dog Eric Mangini for thinking Brett Favre is better. Chad Pennington is an interesting argument, although Parcells having drafted him when he was with the Jets probably is the reason for that. If I was Byron i’d try and get to Minnesota. That situation cries out for someone with his unique skills. He also got rooked by a coaching change in the middle of a season with a whole new playbook to try and pick up.

Okori please don’t do that cat. You know damn well Byron Leftwich is an NFL quarterback. Hell Miami just signed his Marshall mate to a 2 year deal. What does that say?

Boney you need Miranda and Michelle to write a bp med prescription?

Thanks for your opinion though…

to answer your question Mizzo: yes he is. It is a lot better approach to judge on what a person does and says than on what you think they are.

And Boney: Maybe Eric Mangini and Bill Parcells don’t think Byron Leftwich is worth signing. And really would you sign Byron Leftwich over Brett Favre? Seriously? You would?

Wow Boney you been touchy the last few days.

Ever since I called you out about team USA. You O.K. there fella???

I think the racist is Bill Parcells and Eric Mangini because Byron Leftwich is a free agent and Pennington was signed by Parcells and Favre was acquired by Mangini without Leftwich getting a fair shake.

Very well put. This is a great strategy for dealing with racist words and actions.
