Yep, white QB's have no chance. Look at Trevor Lawrence at Clemson, he ain't won nothing

Campbell is not being racist. He is just being Texist. Just another stupid Texas fan who thinks Texas should rule college football just cause they have oil money.

Call me racist but Mahomes, Wilson and it seems like a lot of the better black QB's, aren't exactly black.

Earl has never had a very high IQ.

He has always been known as somewhat of a dim bulb off the field.

Has the SJW community in Austin denounced this disturbing racist diatribe yet? I am deeply offended

Maybe he meant to say Athletic QBs can make something happen when your WRs are covered, there's a good chance that guys in his age range associate Athletic QBs with Black QBs
The thing is Ehlinger is very athletic and a good runner

How dumb do people have to be to upvote this. Out of 53 superbowls, 2 winning qbs have been black. So disingenuous to say that has no value


Does Texas play in the NFL now?

This is a man who’ve worn a wedding dress, so how can you all take him seriously?

A little context here- Earl was the 6th out of 11 children born and raised in the poor part of Tyler, TX when segregation was still in full effect. His dad died when he was eleven. Football (and BBQ) are all he knows.
He is old, can barely walk after scores of surgeries, and likely has early stages of CTE/ brain damage from decades of battering ram football.

Was what he said wrong? Of course.

Was it offensive? I mean, I guess if you’re really offended by what he said, maybe consider the source/ context, put on a sweater, and curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and blog about it.

Leaving aside how absolutely ridiculous his statement is, Tua isn’t even black.

We will have arrived as a society when race is no longer an issue. We have come far but it would seem with still have far to go.

Give earl a break, he was the victim of many racist attacks by texas students while playing there.

What a racist thing to say. I'm so hurt as a white man by what he said. Lol, I could give 2 shits honestly. That's the difference, If a white guy, colt McCoy for example, said that but opposite, it would be headline news across the country and he would be heavily ridiculed. You know it and I know it. bullshite.

Ok? What does that have to do with today and making an idiotic statement such as this? We can compare the numbers and break them down white qbs vs blacks in college and the nfl if he'd like. He's just spouting off bc he knows he can and nobody will make a big deal about it...bc nobody is offended or cares lol.
