I am not going to give Rob Parker the satisfaction of copying the entire article here, you can click the link and read his garbage on Deadspin. Instead, I am just going to offer my rebuttal to it: First: Let's get right to the graphic, where Parker claims Winston and Stafford are basically the same QB: When I look at that graphic, I see one QB who has more wins, more yards, more TDs, and less INTs. He also took less sacks, threw for more yards per game, had 2x the 4th Q comebacks, more game winning drives, and had 18 fewer fumbles, in that same period. Further, what exactly is it that Parker is arguing? Is he arguing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were correct in getting rid of Winston, and the Lions should have gotten rid of Stafford, because they both sucked, or is he really just pissed off that the Lions made the correct decision in signing Stafford to his 2nd contract, while the Bucs abandoned Winston, in order to sign THE GREATEST QUARTERBACK IN NFL HISTORY WHO HAPPENED TO TAKE THEM TO THE SUPER BOWL IN HIS FIRST YEAR??? He also is choosing to ignore the fact that Jameis Winston voluntarily chose to sign with the New Orleans Saints, KNOWING he would be the backup to Drew Brees...another one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. That was Winston's decision... There have been more excuses made for why Stafford failed in Detroit than all the untimely interceptions he has thrown in his career. For people who have forgotten, and have only focused on his 30 interceptions in 2019 Umm, hypocrite, much, there Rob? Complains about all of Stafford's career INTs, then wants everyone to ignore Winston's 30 INTs in a single season...Laughable. Still, Winston has talent. It’s the decision-making that needs to be worked on. That’s the difference. So, he acknowledges that Matt Stafford is a much better decision maker on the field than Winston...Gee Rob, I wonder if that might be one of the reasons Stafford is treated differently than Winston??? For the record, Peyton Manning, in his first season with the Indianapolis Colts threw a league-high 28 picks. In fact, he had 100 interceptions over his first five seasons — more than Winston. Wait, I thought we were comparing Winston to Stafford, not Manning...But since Rob wants to change the subject, Manning also threw for 138 TDs...or 17 more than Winston did his first 5 years. He also made the Pro Bowl 3 times in 5 years, and had a winning record. Somehow, Winston is treated as if were the absolute worst quarterback to play the game, and teams aren’t willing to give him time or guidance to correct his mistakes, like Stafford was given. UTTER BULLSHIT. You know what I heard, Robbie? All season I heard people ripping the shit out of Carson Wentz. I heard people outright mock Mitch Trubisky, and talk about Sam Darnold like his career was already over. I heard people saying the Steelers were winning in spite of Big Ben, instead of because of, oh, but those are white QBs...so they don't count. I also don't see you bitching about the attention DeShaun Watson is getting...your entire premise about black vs. white QBs falls completely apart when you consider that DeShaun Watson is gonna get even more back for Houston than Detroit got with Stafford. Then what, Rob? When Watson, a black QB, gets the better trade deal, where is your stupid theory gonna be then? Rob Parker, shut the fuck up. ***To NFL Chatters, it's not very often I get this riled up. But Rob Parker has been writing trash like this since his days at the Detroit News. Every article he writes is either race baiting, an attempt to drag some athlete through the mud by claiming they suck, despite all evidence to the contrary, or a combination of both, such as this shit piece. Rob Parker is also the same idiot who said that RGIII was a "cornball brother", and wasn't really black because he *GASP* had a white fiancee, and rumors that he might be a Republican (this was way before Trump, when being a Republican wasn't a four-letter word). Even Stephen A. Smith called Parker out for that bullshit. Other than Detroit sports fans, Patriots fans are also aware of how big of a piece of shit Rob Parker is.*** - Dave
