Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
I'm sure you think it's pretty slick to lump everyone on this board into a homogenized group, give that group a stance and then defend that stance. This is called a straw man argument. You make them all the time. It is a poor rhetorical tool.
OP is correct as to some people of course, odds are there are people on this board who have preconceived biases against Tyrod because of his race, denying that outright is naive at best. OP did not say that EVERYONE who doesn't like him is a racist, just that he felt race may play a part in the lack of excitement about Tyrod here. I like Tyrod, I think he is our long-term answer at QB. I also think the Bills are correct to hold of paying him this year and make him prove that he's the long-term answer.
Marlin - the truth is people are just kind of tired of getting kicked in the nads by this franchise year after year hope and optimism will come slowly if at all. Everything is fixed by winning.
