    So Wilson is short for a QB, Price was terrible last year, and Jake is white. Therefore Hugh is a racist? Show causation.

    While it is a small sample, it's also pretty glaring. Racist may not be the right word but he is showing a bias towards a white quarterback over two non white quarterbacks, who have already had better seasons than Jack could ever dream of. There could also be something we don't know about the situation but on the surface it appears to be racially motivated opinion. He may not even be aware of it though.
    I don't think Millen is a racist but I do think he can have some race prejudice.

    He is always on Price and Wilson's ass yet even after Jake lays a fucking turd sandwich against Nebraska Millen was always there to defend him.

    Calling him a racist is pretty bold, but his head is/was way too far up Locker's ass. He refused to criticize him for any reason. He also rarely, if ever, criticizes Sark, but has no problem ripping Price.

    With Wilson, he needs to humble himself and admit he was wrong. Wilson has a strong arm, is accurate, very mobile, throws one of the best deep balls I have ever seen, and it's evident he has special leadership qualities that very few guys have. I don't have a problem that he was skeptical about Wilson before the past season, but he needs to get the fuck off the air if he thinks Wilson will be anything but a good QB.

    What I never liked about these KJR guys is they have no problem throwing a college kid under the bus to save the adult who is making millions. When Jake would suck, Millen had no problem throwing OL, WR's all under the bus.

    Just like now he has no problem throwing Price under the bus. The only difference is he doesn't give Price the same benefit of the doubt for having IMO a worse OL, slightly worse RB's and worse WR's.

    Like you said about Wilson, questioning him going into the year is one thing but he was flat giving Wilson no chance at all. He didn't even have an open mind when it came to Wilson. Now instead of embracing it saying he's wrong he still nit picks at Wilson.

    If only he was 1/100th as critical of Wilson/Price towards Sark would I maybe give a shit what he has to say.

    He gives Sark and at the time Locker a total free pass. While being a prick towards Price and Wilson. I still remember two years ago him calling Russell Okung(first team all pro LT) a bust of a pick second game into his second year. The guy is a total joke and like I said several times I don't understand why so many give a rats ass what he has to say.

    Sensitive issue, but calling Millen a racist is way off base. This smacks of the race merchant PC crowd that throws that term around to gain control of the narrative. Drowns out any criticism of any person "of color" by painting the criticism as race based. Zero substance, but, unfortunately, very effective. "Well" done.

    Millen does however appear to have a memory that's shorter than the short quarterbacks he's worried about. He went all mea culpa late last year regarding his initial "analysis" of RW. Having watched RW play since his time at NCSU, my advice is to not underestimate this guy. He significantly elevated NCSU, took Wisky to a Rose Bowl, and has drastically improved Seattle's offense. I have no doubt that NFL teams will adjust their defenses to account for this guy when they play the SeaHawks, but he's a game changer, he has proven he will get it done one way or another. And by the way, this is something Price has not shown. He deserves some criticism for some pretty fucktarded play at times. Hopefully he will gather himself and show some of that ability, but shielding Price from criticism when he fucks up is no better than shielding Locker or any other player for that matter.

    Well said. Throwing around the term racist is "playing the race card." This is about nothing more than Control and Power. In many, many cases the person playing the card is the real racist.

    Hugh is a dipshit. We all agree. Is it really necessary to make a Politically Correct ideology argument out of simple frigin football discussion? All this race crap gets really old.

    (Yeah, I know. Since I dared to open my mouth, I'm clearly a racist.) Anyone up for a witch hunt?

    We don't know if Hugh is racist or not. We're just working with the sample size we have and drawing logical conclusions.

    There's Zero logic in this BS. It's all speculation based on ideology.

    As one who was (along with you) labeled racist for criticizing Ty, I'm hesitant to throw around the R word. It's also possible Hugh is:

    a) stupid
    b) heavily biased towards taller QB's
    c) abundance

    Now, if Hugh starts hyping Lindquist over Miles, I'll probably have to reconsider.
