'15 CA QB Blake Barnett (Arizona State Transfer)

[Bogtrotter07]

That was incredibly racist jojo, also like someone said earlier Ricky Town decommited via email. That shows how big of a bitch that kid is.

Also Blake Barnett is the #1 QB in all of our hearts, that's all that matters right?!?!?!

Okay, okay. I kept my mouth closed.

Tom Brady never ran faster than a 5.6 second 40 yard dash. That is slow. I am slow, old and half crippled. I can still run faster than that. And Tom Brady is white, though I agree, there is no need to point it out. So to review Tom Brady is a slow white dude.

The same can be said for Payton.

Now Jojo was making accurate factual statements about two specific players. And as much as I have a problem focusing on color, Jojo did it.

Now the other comment read like logic; if a linebacker from texas, and black, sign him up. It unfortunately was entirely a generalization, and that generalization was entirely based upon racist stereotypes.

Are either of these posters racist? I don't know. Neither have personally offended my sensibilities that I would cut them off without a second chance. I have met people who have made one stereotypical statement that I deemed racist enough that I would.

Just for what it is worth.

90% of the time have no clue what your talking about bogs,in society I've noticed a bit of a racial bias lately. We can discuss this more if you want to direct message me

I've used the term "slow white dude" plenty of times when watching sports lol.

Jojo's comment rubbed me the wrong way. Was it racist? I don't know. As Bogs pointed out, it's an accurate depiction of the players he was referring too.

You want to see racist? Scroll down 247 Sports' list of ranked QBs for 2015 & 2016. If a kid is white...PRO style (including Barnett). If a kid is black...Dual Threat. There are a few exceptions, but it's ridiculous and I thought 247 was doing away with different classifications for QBs. In my opinion, it's outdated anyway.

I have a QB at my HS who will be a top 10 QB in the nation for the class of 2017. He's white and a "dual threat". I can't wait for 247 to list him as a "Pro" style QB. It's ridiculous. And, yes, he's very interested in ND. He could be special.

Or if you want to discuss it more you could start a thread. I would subscribe.

I feel bad that you don't understand. It is a bit complex. Identifying two guys that are white as white, is a little different than assuming that because someone is good, from texas, they must be black. Maybe that is why your racial bias meter is beeping off a little lately.

GO IRISH

We have been down this road before. Take it to another thread.
There are any number of racist, DT vs Pro-style, white vs black threads this can go to. Lets leave Blake's thread empty of this shit.

Please.

You're correct, i deleted it. Not trying to derail a thread

So I loves me some black and white QBs.

And Latino occasional.

Manziel really broke into the eastern tutelage.

Bottom line: race is not a factor in performance.

Let's get back to Barnett boys.

(I can't stand Manziel., fwiw.)

 

[johnnycando]

My number one question to our fan base, is will Barnett stick to the Irish come signing day?

I think he'll be the top QB of this class after all is said and done.

That will bring skill players off the elite category to ND.

Well, he'd have to redo his wall paper and that would kind of suck. Bet he's all in, now.

 

[rikkitikki08]

I think he sticks, but things could get dicey around national signing day

There will be no issue with Barnett come NSD seeing as he will have already been a student at ND for three weeks.

Just busting your chops.

Ahh yes early enrollees, well if that's the case then Jon Snow is correct. No issue!

Looks like Jon Snow knows something after all..

The one thing i think we can both agree on is Jon Snow isn't much of an actor

I don't mind him, but the girl who plays Dany is consistently bad. I cringe every time she attempts to pull off a convincing angry scene. She looks good naked though, so... I forgive her?

I know 5 players like to bring drama into recruiting. I don't see it in Blake. Like LAX said, unless Notre Dame completely shits the bed this year or BK leaves, then Blake will be taking classes at Notre Dame next January

Yup.

Damn. It's possible. He told the world what he expects as to be a coach in the NFL. So we'll see.

I think she is much hotter with dark hair. The bleach blond does not do it for me. I concur with your post.

That's flawless logic.

 

[arrowryan]

I thinks he's invested too much into the program and changed too many things for him to leave anytime soon.

The problem I have is not with this kid because he is who he is..The problem I have are these bisa ass experts than all but kiss every high school Qbs ass about being great when they are not.
max Browne over rated
this kid your talking about over rated
the kid at nebraska this year over rated
Matt barkely over rated
my point is this that these kids have not be developed well enough to be placed in the elite status. Most of them are big slow white kids with little to no speed. thier hips are stiff and they cant take a hit.
The defenses that most D1 schools have, D ends who rush off the ends with such atheleticsm that most of thes so call great high school quarterbacks dont have the quick feet to get away from. Some of these kids are just plain terrible.
Yeah they can throw from here to cleveland and some throw nice pretty passes in these controlled silly 7 on 7 tournments.(what a waste) and now they are the best since joe montana. Please most dont play against good talent and most dont have the moxy to compete or make
Also stop believe that this witfield guy is the answer to fix these kids because he is not. Sure he may be able to help a little but in the long run he cant help those kids who dont have the over all atheletcism to play this position todays game.
Wonder why Payton and brady will never win another Super bowl because the game has caught up to them. the defense at the end of the day especially those ends know if you crash down on thier slow butts they can disrupt thier game. look at this past superbowl.

Payton was terrible because he cant get away from anybody. Same thing with the rest of those overrated bums...Stop believe the hype let them develop.

She deserves a pass simply for being a smoke show

She's wayyyyy hotter with dark hair, this i agree with

Instead you negative rep me? I was not even addressing you exclusively, nor was I trying do disagree with you. I was trying to illuminate a gray area.

And again I'd put me on ignore if you want to negative rep me because I don't want to follow your absolute direction; make sense? I won't tolerate behavior like that from anyone, let alone you. I come here for fun, not drizzling douche solution with any small person wanting to make up a small penis competition. Every negative rep I get you will get back (4). This passive aggressive garbage has to stop.
