Quotable:

“Generally, I’m sympathetic to the thinking that some guys are ‘just a football player,’ or something, and verifiable athleticism doesn’t translate into success; I’m rooting for White, in particular, because he’s likable and exciting and is the epitome of a great athlete set to be snubbed more by systemic, entrenched biases and lack of creativity than actual ability. But I’m realistic: When every single measurable number suggests he’s just a notch below the class of athletes at the position he’s expected to join — or has been expected to join until very recently (he’s not considered a project at quarterback for nothing) — that’s some pretty strong ignorin’. It’s tough to lose that Plan B.” – Matt Hinton on West Virginia’s Pat White
