If Brandon Jacobs was white he would be a fullback no doubt about it. Jacob Hester and Brian Leonard are now FBs, although they were elite FBS running backs? That's retarded. Danny Woodhead is only on the practice squad when he clearly deserves more. Nick Goings is a free agent now, so obviously the NFL is full of sterotypists.
If you don't believe stereotyping exists check out the Tyler Gaffney highlights and tell me how this guy who rushed for 300+ yards in his state title game is listed as a FB on Rivals and Scout.
Also, the only position where elite top-end speed is essential is CB to recover when you bite on a fake. At RB: 10-20 yard burst, vision, power & agility are more important. Asians, Hispanics & whites measure up fine there when tested. I mean how often is there a 40 yd straight lined foot race in a game?
Give these guys a chance in the NFL if they deserve it that's all I'm asking for. I have around 20 newspaper articles I can e-mail to anyone who wants them that talk about recruiting racism. There is no reason that the NFL should be 0% white at HB. Go back 10 years ago there were half the amount of white WRs, but now FBS walk-ons Welker & Curtis and others have gotten an NFL chance. Saban wanted to cut Welker in Miami. Whites used to excell in the FBS and NFL before they stopped being recruited
Saban wanted to cut Welker in Miami? That's absolutely ridiculous considering the quality reciever that he is.
I understand exactly what you are saying. Almost every article about Woodhead always refers to him being too small, too slow when in actuality there are several RB's his size and he is the elite 1% of RB's in speed, burst, agility, leaping ability, and other qualities as tested during his pro day in which he ranked 1st or 2nd in all vital areas.
There's also some quality posts on castefootball as well and I am trying to recruit more moderates to the site. J. Hester isn't a burner, but he isn't too slow for the NFL. Check NFLdraftscout, you will see that there are several "big name RBs" & some drafted every yr that have the same speed or are slower than Hester. Hester ran a 4.6. The Combine avg. for HBs last year was 4.56. Hester also had the same 10 yd dash time as Darren McFadden. He's got a great burst, vision & is a bull of a RB.
You guys probably think I'm some kind of hate monger and I have posted on caste football before, but I don't agree with some of the posts on that site. There are some racist posts there from certain posters that leave a sour taste in my mouth. However, I know that white, East Asian and Hispanic football players are discriminated against and it bothers me a lot. I came to the conclusion of white RBs being snubbed by the NFL after seeing what happened to Canadian Jesse Lumsden when I lived there.
Skim I'd agree that East Asians are victims of discrimination too in football. They are smaller on average, but some could be great scatbacks, WRs and even some CBs. However, there are just many more whites playing football in this 66% white country. And Jordy Nelson was a WR. Chris Long being drafted 2nd overall strengthens my case. All 4 starting pro-bowl DEs were white for the '08 game, but whites are less than 20% of NFL DEs. Whites can be the best but can't be numerous.
To SKIm 172, i will agree Asians are poorly represented in football. However; in comparision to whites, how many more whites play the game compared to asians?
o yeah jack and i never said ray rice. i think ray was overrated. i said maurice jones drew warrik dunn and barry sanders. all little running backs who played at a level of competition way higher then danny did.. but yes i do agree with you on him not being taken cuz hes a lil white guy. GO JETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
i understand hes a good running back. and trust me, im a small white guy who played football and i always look up to smaller players like chrebet and dwight. but i really dont think he would do anything for this team.its my opinion. and trust me i would loooooove to see a lil white boy come in the league and dominate ..that would make my day. but i really dont think it will happen.
Tony Dungy, Scout Tom Lemming and Don Bebee have all agreed that their is racial positional slotting. I have the newspaper articles where they're quoted if anyone wants me to e-mail them to them. Colleges also want the athletic scholarships to go to blacks as a form of economic justice b/c of the socio economic gap and black underachieving in academics. I could give dozens of full proof examples of media bias when it comes to sports, but most of you don't care enough or are too blind to notice.
How was Div. II player Xavier Omon who was less productive and much less agile and slower than Woodhead drafted, but Woodhead isn't. Why are virtually all the lower Div. receiving and rushing records held by whites. Must be b/c they are allowed to compete there when they should be in Div. IA. Why did some white RBs and WRs like Riggins J. Taylor and Largent dominate in a racially integrated league, but no whites now. White skill players aren't taken seriously b/c of bias media and stupid fans.
But yeah, Woodhead should've been drafted. Height is overrated.
This was a bad year for you to argue racism. Jake Long, Chris Long, Matt Ryan, top three picks of the draft. Jordy Nelson, 3rd WR taken. Jacob Hester, the undersized fullback/slow halfback, drafted in the third round.
As long as you're bitching, why no Asians in the NFL? Not like they don't play, there's guys in college and HS. Help out the Asians before you talk white supremacy.
I agree that Woodhead was better than Omon... But you also have to realize that all of Woodhead's worst games were against Northwestern Missouri (where Omon went) and NW Missouri won all those games. A lot of teams draft winners over talent. I don't agree with Omon going before Woodhead, but I can understand it.
nyjet, that's a dumb comment. I don't think R. Rice would have put up the numbers Dan has put up in Div. II. He's the all time leading NCAA rusher. Danny is also the all-time Nebraska H.S career rusher, yet he was only offered to walk-on at Nebraska by dumb coach Fred Solich. Bill Calahan, the new coach says he definitely would have given Woodhead a full scholarship to Nebraska. Danny was snubbed b/c fans & pro-minority media & black players would be cynical of the signing of a small white RB.
Remember Dave Meggett, Wayne Chrebet?? He has the ability to be that good. Def a Mangini type of guy humble, hard working, over-achiever. There has to be a place on this team for this guy.
hes good but i hope the jets dont sign him or ill be pissed. yeah he might be as big as maurice and dunn and sanders but those guys played on a totaly diffrent level. were talking big time colleges. sorry dan but Im sure theres some room for ya in canada or the areana leugue.
He also ran a 1.44 10 yard dash; talk about an amazing burst! He has great vision and good power for his size to boot! Please, someone draft this kid, so I can see this poor man's Barry Sanders play. He could become a kick returner as well. Danny Woodhead is a freak of nature for someone that is 5'8 200 lbs. And oh yeah, Danny Woodhead is faster than Barry Sanders; highly doubt he'll be as good as Barry though!
Woodhead is now ranked as nfldraftscout's 26th best RB for this draft class. Personally I'd rank him 12th. He won Div. 2's best player twice and ran for 8 YPC. Small schooler T. Hightower ran for 4.8 YPC in Div. IAA and is predicted to be drafted. Woodhead is bigger than Maurice Jones-Drew, Joe Morris & Darren Sproles. He's the same size as Warrick Dunn, Brian Westbrook and Barry Sanders. His agility is so good he is a poor man's Barry Sanders and that is still quite a compliment. Ran a 4.38 40.
No he did not get an invite to the combine. He is colleges all time leading rusher and he didn't even get an invite to the Combine. He ran a 4.3 and 4.38 40 yard dash at his pro day the 13th tho.
If Brandon Jacobs was white he would be a fullback no doubt about it. Jacob Hester and Brian Leonard are now FBs, although they were elite FBS running backs? That's retarded.
