White QBs Can Sprint, or...

...the Colin from Kaepernick. Who knows if relevant.

The pleasure is close to exquisite for a Niners' fan: aeons ago--Joe Perry, Y.A. Tittle, "Alley Oop" Owens and Hugh MacElhenny.

Let's stop stereotyping who's "athletic" and who can do what at each position.

PROTIP: Y.A. Tittle is *not* a good "safe word"; Fran Tarkenton works much better.

I don't go that far back as a 49ers fan, only to the 1970s, when Mr. Russ Francis joined the team from the Patriots. Having the Seahawks win Sunday would mean a home game at the 'Stick next week, but that team scares me.

Classic quarterback sneak.
Have been there, done that, am white.

Second link, I see "wear" you are going with this, another form of "quarterback sneak"

Not a great point, Mark, the sneak is a con game, a shell game, every rookie knows it, but it takes a true set of brass ones to pull it off?

I've often thought of doing that to the NDP, mouth their slogans, wear the "uniform" and sabotage the inner works. I'd rather just move away from BC, it's a lost cause.

Is there a joke here I'm missing? Colin Kaepernick is black. He's an adopted child.

Most NFL seasons with 100 rushing attempts by a QB, 1985-present (same list as 1973-present):

The only white QB on that list is Tim Tebow.

Most rushing yards by a player with 10 passing attempts in a regular season NFL game since 1980: http://pfref.com/tiny/Ss8Jm
The only white QB in the top 10 is again Tim Tebow.

And for some reason, Tebow can't play QB, but McNair, McNabb, Vick, Cunningham, and Griffin can?

Nice job by the 49er, but pales in comparison to the numbers put up by Johnny Manziel:

For what it's worth, Kaepernick is biracial, and was adopted and raised by white parents.

As a Packer's fan since the "battle in the mud" that was a tough one to watch. Green Bay just never seemed to come up with anything to contain Kaepernick's run. That and some pretty basic mistakes (dropping the kick inside the 10-yd line!!) -- groan. Oh well, the defense keeps getting better every year, so we'll be back.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
