44. Why isn't he a quarterback in the NFL?

Running backs are a commodity in the NFL. Peterson for the Vikings might be the lone exception.

The first RB picked this year was the 54th pick.

Yep, many of the NFL analysts are full of shit.

I was not referring to any particular QB. If you do not agree that with equal ability but a larger QB is more desirable, then I can't help you.

The better he plays, the less significant his sexuality will be, I imagine. n/t nomorenomore08 May 2014 #51
The inverse issue then becomes that the worse he plays, the more it will be because he's gay. Gravitycollapse May 2014 #52
