Tiger 8,855 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Yeah there's a reason guys like Mitch Trubisky, who was pretty average at UNC, get viewed as better pro prospects than guys like Lamar Jackson. IMO that thought process is trickled down (or up?) to HC hires as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,976 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I think it’s there. It’s gotten better but will never go away. Most of us are guilty of this bias. Few realize or admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unconscious bias happens outside of our control. It occurs automatically and is triggered by our brain making a quick judgment. (https://talentculture.com/the-truth-about-unconscious-bias-in-the-workplace/) Basically, there's thought that owners/GMs hold minority coaching candidates to a much higher standard than their counterparts. Good example is Eric Bieniemy who has coached for nearly 20 years (after a playing career) and worked his way up the chain "the way you are supposed to" (position coach to coordinator). Every year he interviews for jobs only for them to go to the a less experienced guy. Or how African-American quarterbacks labeled as "athletic" often have their credentials as QBs questioned because of their style of play. (See Lamar Jackson, most recently.) Is that because of unconscious bias? I can't say, but I think it's worth discussing. Or how there hasn't been a white starting corner back in the NFL since Seahorn in 2003. I think there is unconscious bias across the board in professional athletics from the field to the front offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,262 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Apologies, but I don't follow pro football. Will there be any Auburn players on the field for this Super Bowl?

aubearcat 2,163 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 That sucks hardcore. It’s like Jordan retiring as a Wizard and not a Bull, Montana a Chief and not a 9er, ...etc. Legendary players are supposed to retire as single franchise players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that they are going to sign a vet to get them through a few years with a plan to try to keep developing Stidham. I think Stidham could become a good NFL quarterback, but I’m not sure he’s ready. Maybe they’ll sign Cam, and Cam can help mentor him. One thing Stidham still needs to develop is in being more of a vocal leader... One of Cam’s strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Sounds like Panthers were sure they were going to sign Bridgewater when they told Cam he could look elsewhere now. Such sneaky negotiations these NFL teams use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
