Or maybe, dude wanted to be paid starting QB money and nobody was willing to do that? - Strongbad May 22, 11:31 10
- That's a non-starter as an argument. We've watched total scrubs get paid starter money. He was an eyelash away from winning a Super Bowl. - David May 22, 11:36 9
  - It's a fact that you can't prove? - Strongbad May 22, 11:38 8
    - I can prove that the NFL cut him a check to get the lawsuit out of court, which is more than you can say with your theoreticals. -- nm - David May 22, 11:39 7
      - Absolutely. People settle court cases all the time. - Strongbad May 22, 11:43 6
        
        Also, at one time 30ish similar owners refused to let black QBs play. All the way to the early 1980s. -- nm* - Inigo May 22, 11:58 3
        
        Is there a good example of this? - Strongbad May 22, 12:43 2

        Moon had to go to the CFL to be able to play pro QB. - Reagen May 22, 12:46
        
        I have a really hard time believing that the NFL would settle a collusion case unless they thought they'd lose. - Inigo May 22, 11:55
        
        And yet here we are... -- nm - David May 22, 11:45
