I mean, really, think about it. Just step back and think about how truly awesome he is. Think about all he has done for us in BOTH football AND baseball. Wow, just wow. Kyle Parker is my hero. I can't believe there is even a debate about this. Kyle Parker beat out Willy "Extreme" Korn for the starting QB job. He has to be the best player we've ever had in any sport ever.

Some black guys might have a leg up because most young white kids are pussified and interested in other things rather than contact sports, etc. Also, you're a GD moron if you think that Grisham and Leake weren't good.

They're too old and what they did had no merrit because it was a long time ago. Any athlete that's decent after the year 2000 is the best athlete in Clemson history. I just meant that he was one of, if not the best multi sport athlete at Clemson. He even played multiple positions in one sport. Hell, he even went on to become a decent coach at Clemson. My only point was to compare Kyle Parker to guys like him or others is lunacy. Not that Da'Quan Bowers couldn't crush his bones into dust and throw him into the wind.

As did Chad Carson. And Tyler Grisham. And every other white player that's become insanely overrated the first time they did anything good. There's a reason why the NFL and NBA are like 80% black (roughly). The athletes are better. It's not really about the fact that they're black, it's that the talent pool was reduced dramatically by disallowing them. Meaning that the players on the field were less talented on average. Same shit goes for the people who think Babe Ruth was the best thing to ever walk on a field (he's 2nd). I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand. and John Leake sucked. As did Chad Carson.

I'd absolutely shutter to think of what CJ Spiller would do against a team full of white defenders. History looks favorably on people like McFadden. Not fairly, IMO.

But I'd have to think McFadden would have a shot if he went through the futuristic trainings going on now, or CJ and Trevor not having any of the workouts. Kind of an impossible comparison technically, but I think Banks was extremely versatile athlete and should be considered more so than Spiller or Booker I think without the weight training, weight gainers, specialized training that all the athletes have nowadays its really hard to compare.

Do you really think Banks McFadden was a better athlete than like 100 of the guys we've had in the modern era? I mean let's be real here. The guy was great and all for his era, but can't we logically and realistically compare? Without the weight training, nutritional training, specialized training that guys have today, you think McFadden could be put in these guys' straospheres? Doesn't it make a difference that he only had to play against white people during his day? Good god, what if you put CJ Spiller on a football field with only white people? What if you put Trevor Booker on a basketball court with just white people? @1 – Barring a huge change in either his position (to catcher) or his approach (not happening), Kyle Parker will play as many innings in the Major League as you and I will.
