They meant skin color, not ability.
I think it's the other way around. Fans want the skin color. Shanahan, on the other hand, wants the guy that's gonna make Shanahan look like a superstar (as opposed to an actual superstar player).
Yea? I think most fans here would be happy with Fields or Lawrence or Wilson or even Lance. Shanahan is the one that only ever seems to choose QBs of a certain skintone.
Shanahan has literally only drafted one QB, and fought for another (Cousins). He traded for Jimmy because the Patriots offered.
He also signed Josh Johnson.
This take is lazy. It's more than lazy. It's f**king stupid.
Oh wow, he signed Josh Johnson. The fourth QB on the depth chart. That refutes any possibility of bias.
C'mon man, before you have a stroke over the slightest possibility of racial bias taking a role, maybe consider you're the one that first claimed that the fans want a QB based purely on race and that Shanahan doesn't care. Meanwhile, Shanahan didn't want RG3, didn't want Kaepernick, didn't want Watson, didn't want Mahomes, didn't want Fields, doesn't want Lance. Any one of those individually could easily be justified or explained, but the trend is there and cannot be refuted by merely pointing at Josh Johnson, a guy that will never play.
