Quarterback Darwinism: Is Notre Dame Evolving?

The last time Notre Dame won a National Championship, their on field general was Negro QB Tony Rice.

Since then, ND has not been a viable contender, despite prancing out a long line of highly tauted, highly recruited QBs.

Coach Charlie Weis has fashioned himself to be "the" quarterback guru, molding Tom Brady into a premiere QB and presenting Brady Quinn as a "viable" franchise QB. Now, Weis is faced with the challenge of starting from ground zero. A QB with virtually no experience.

At the conclusion of spring ball, Weis had this to say about the three front runners:

After concluding spring ball evaluations, Evan Sharpley, Demetrius Jones and Jimmy Clausen remain as the main contenders. Each of these three young men brought something unique to the QB competition. Evan ran the operation the best, Jimmy threw the ball the best, and Demetrius made the most plays. For these reasons, they will compete for playing time.

We've discussed and agreed in the past, that the QB position has evolved into a position that requires definitive athleticism, self confidence and true play making ability. Looking at Weis' comments, and knowing that Weis is fully aware of what Quarterback Darwinism is all about, we can pretty accurately interpret what was said. And, remember, Weis has watched play making Negro QBs win the past two National Championships and he has watched Troy Smith destroy his team and win a Heisman Trophy during the same period.

He said that Sharpley ran the operation best. That is code for "back-up".

Clausen threw the ball the best. That means that the highly recruited Clausen isn't showing the ability to be a field general and has developed that strong athleticism to be a premier college QB yet.

Finally, he said that Jones made the most plays. That means Jones is a play maker. And, as is well documented, the evolution of the position and the unstoppable tide of Quarterback Darwinism require (in addition to the other requisite qualities) a play maker.

Weis wants maximum effort from each of the "candidates". He wants them hungry through summer workouts and preseason camp. No one can blame him for that.

But, his language gives him away.

Notre Dame's return to glory will be made possible by the same key ingredient as their last run to a title.

A play making Negro QB.

Congrats to Demetrius Jones. Touchdown Jesus has his hands up. Dap 'em up!

I would rather not be rooting for Norte Dame, evolved or not, sir.

No doubt the Bossman will be cooking up a mess of grub on me for Coach Weiss. I wonder if de Bossman and Coach will share any of the vittles with Young Demetrius? My heart says yes but my lid says no.

Sir, watching ND employ a proud Negro QB to win is like watching coach KKK employ the use of a proud Negro point guard...in the end, while happy for their enlightenment, you still have to acknowledge the white devil that is the institution.

Perhaps the people at Notre Dame can find another Negro leprauchan to cheer the team to victory.
As much as I hate Notre Dame, I got no end of joy from the Black Irishman. I suspect many alumni did not share my feelings.

"in the end, while happy for their enlightenment, you still have to acknowledge the white devil that is the institution."

you really have NO clue. ND is as progressive racially as ANY institution. Black players and students have been welcome at ND for decades.

We are one of the few elite football programs that has even had a black coach. Michigan, Ohio St., Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Alabama??

So just get off the nonsense that ND is somehow Dukelike.

Unknown said...

"We are one of the few elite football programs that has even had a black coach."

Sir, please refresh my memory on the rampant love that was expressed for Brother Willingham? I, sir, only remember when he was run out of town on a rail. Why was it that during Brother Willingham's second season, the talk was of wanting him gone and being fired, but yet when master Weiss was at the same point in his second season with the exact same record, he was offered an unheard of and precedent contract extension?

Also, sir, you use the word 'elite' to describe ND. As always, I quest for knowledge, hence why I ask you so many questions. Can you explain the definition of elite? I was under the mistaken impression that it meant victorious and hallowed. As we still talking about ND fball? I do not recall much ND success as of late, even though the master Weiss hype machine is always going.

ND is considered one of the bedrock football programs. Don't pretend they aren't. Don't pretend they don't have one of the greatest histories out there. They have their OWN network broadcast deal. No one else does. So please. Kill that noise, joker.

Weis has gone to BCS games in each of his first two seasons. Willingham had a losing record in his second season. So again, kill that noise.

ND HAD to lock Weis up with the NFL banging down the door. Nobody was chasing Ty.

Now, hope you have learned something.

Uhh...you got a CHANCE. You didn't perform. Losing records and not bringing in top recruits = being shown the door.

Just like the WHITE coach that preceded you.

Unknown said...

"They have their OWN network broadcast deal."

Sir, so does my local high school team on cable access - does that make the WNBA elite? Just because the masses of white devils want to watch ND does not make them elite. If all it took, sir, were masses of white devils supporting something to be considered elite, then the KKK would be an elite men's organization, no?


"Weis has gone to BCS games in each of his first two seasons. Willingham had a losing record in his second season. So again, kill that noise."

Sir, true at the end of the season, but at the point that coach Weiss was given the extension, he had the EXACT SAME record as Brother Willingham had at that time in his career. Interesting, sir, interesting.

I will not even begin to approach the debacle that was ND in the two BCS games that you build your defense upon.

Unknown said...

"Losing records and not bringing in top recruits = being shown the door."

Sir, thank you for the math lesson. May I ask you to help me with another math problem that I do not understand?

(Patsy schedule + losing to the few tough opponents you do have + brutal and embarrassing loss on national TV in a bowl game) * 2 seasons = contract extension * X

Is X = WHITE?

Anonymous said...

" he had the EXACT SAME record as Brother Willingham had at that time in his career. Interesting, sir, interesting"

You didn't mention the cruxt of the contract. THAT THE NFL WAS ALL OVER WEIS. And the NO ONE was courting Willingham. Understand? Why would ND give Willingham a new and better deal when no one was trying to lure him away???

"I will not even begin to approach the debacle that was ND in the two BCS games that you build your defense upon."

Fair deal. I won't bring up the debacle of the Gator Bowl loss and the losing season that Willingham provide. K?

"Sir, so does my local high school team on cable access"

Then that isn't a "network" deal, is it? No other college team has an exclusive deal with one of the Big Three networks.

Keep playing dumb. You're a natural.

It would be right, but Willingham played the same type of schedule and, after a successful first season; had losing results.

So let's keep X. But make it X = Weis. And lets make Y = Ty.

With all we know, we can accurately say that X > Y.

Unknown said...

"Why would ND give Willingham a new and better deal when no one was trying to lure him away???"

Sir, why would ND give Weis a new and better deal when he hadn't performed or won any more games than Willingham?

Sir, we both know the answer. It rhymes with 'white'.

So did Brother Willingham at the exact point when the firing talk of Willingham began, but yet at that exact same point in Weis' career, he was given a contract extension. Why, sir, why?

Sir, are you trying to perpetuate that white > black? How DARE you, sir.

Sir, I understand the NFL was allegedly 'after' Weis and we've already documented the racist nature of the No Freedom for black men League.

Look at just ND and what they control in their yard. They had two men, one Black, one white, with the same record at the same point in their career. The Black one they stoked up the fires of the lynch mob to run him out of town. The white one they gave a contract extension too. Why? Racism, sir, racism.

nation_of_islam_sportsblog said...

Sirs,

I didn't mean to spark a debate over Weis and Willingham (really, there is no debate...ND loves a white coach), I just wanted to congratulate Brother Demetrius on his impending coronation. On being the NEXT great Weis QB creation.

Now, think back a minute.

Between ND's National Championship and the eminent crowning of Brother Demetrius, the last only real season ND was a threat to take it all...Jarius Jackson was the QB. And we know what happened. The Irish were 9-1 and looking HOT. Jackson blew his knee and the Irish lose 10-0 to USC. And then lose in the Gator Bowl.

First of all, almost every point made by NOIS on this blog is "alleged"..not too much fact put forth. Weis did have interest from NFL teams...specifically it was reported from the NY Giants. Secondly, Weis was coming from a hugely successful NFL program...which means more spotlight for the university. Willingham was a no-name coach and when a college football program loses that buzz they also start to lose donations. Make this about color if you want but it isnt..like so much of the other stuff you fabricate here.

How is it hypocritical to reference a post we made a few months ago that was about those three men spreading their sperm?

Why would we be obligated to write about others, when...at that point in time, the media was talking about those three men?

Your suggestion, if we understand, is that if a white athlete does something immoral or unsavory...that if we choose to write about it, we are obligated to include examples of Negro athletes doing the same thing?

You, sir, are bat shit crazy at this point.

Why did the media when they reported on Warren Moon or Steve McNair getting DUI not reference white athletes that got DUI's in the same articles?

Answer: BECAUSE THE ARTICLES WERE ABOUT MOON OR MCNAIR!

And our post was about Brady. And we referenced a post about Brady, Leinhart and Urlacher.

2 possible ways to read the sentence.

"the Raiders to fail" as in, they sucked

OR

"Art Shell" as coach of the Raiders
"never did anything" as in, he just stood there
"to cause the Raiders to fail" as in, if he had done something, they may not have failed.

Of course, the root cause is his being trapped in systems that have not tapped effectively into his talents and have (seemingly purposely) underutilized his abilities.

yes i am a racist because i think that when a black athlete does something wrong he should pay for it....NOIS would have you believe there are excuses for everything but there are not. Responsibility and equality work hand in hand...you idiots.

naw, homey, that ain't why you are a racist.

you been posting for a few weeks now, screaming 'bout how racism and slavery are in NO way responsible for some of the ills that face black America. You say that since some blacks have made enormous successes, that ALL blacks have the access to it and therefore America is a land of equality.

What makes you a racist is the fact that you refuse to acknowledge the negative historical facts that still to this day play a role.

You are like that Iranian President that says the holocaust never took place

Oh, and you also a racist because in EVERY incident on here that NOIS has pointed out (EVERY) you have said the black athlete should be punished or is guilty...when they ain't even been to trial yet.

But every white one, you give the benefit of the doubt.

That's why you are a racist. And an angry one at that.

Again when did i say that racism and slavery are in NO way responsible..that is NOIS putting words in my mouth. I just dont see how when you have cases of high paid athletes breaking the law, you know by for example threating to MURDER someone, that they should be given a pass. It is bigoted to defend EVERYONE of a certain race just because they are of that race.

yes you have.

you have said to forget about racism and forget about slavery and fix the problems ourselves.

ok. tell me now. does racism not play a role in the problems of the black community.

just a yes or no answer, man. no qualifying it. yes or no?

bet you aren't willing to just say yes or no.

The answer is yes. I didnt say it didnt play a role. I am saying that personal responsibility also has to play a role. You cannot condone bad behavior by saying "well racism made me do it". If Elijah Dukes threatens to kill his wife you have to say what he did was wrong and not justify it by saying it is the fault of his employer for not giving him enough counseling. Equality means playing by the same set of rules...there are laws and if you break them then you should be punished for doing so. Excuses only allow the behavior to be justified.

"The answer is yes."

I knew you couldn't just answer yes or no. LOL.

You had to go on with your racist rant after it.

Question for you. Where does NOIS ever say that Dukes has NO responsibility at all?

Just like YOU downplay the role of racism in the problems of black society, and try to blame blacks for the problems. It seems NOIS downplays the things YOU want to blame on blacks and focuses on the things YOU don't like to be focused on.

Basically, to me, you are just mad NOIS doesn't share your point of view.

That is called being closed minded.

that's right. you are and that's one of the reasons why. good job.

if you listen to this guy long enough he makes perfect sense. You just have to be willing to take his quotes out of context and completely ignore his intent.

I think when NOIS labeled him "misunderstood" he pretty much took the responsibility away..wouldnt you agree?? I mean i think his wife understood "I am going to kill you..you are dead" just fine...or at least fine enough to get a restraining order.

I guess by now we shouldn't be surprised at your struggles with the multisyllabic

misunderstood is synonymous with not responsible?

you are making a huge leap!

misunderstood means NO responsibility???

wow. just another of example of you actively trying to distort the original post to suit your racist intentions.

How is it racist and how can you classify Dukes as misunderstood...does that not minimize what he did??

"How is it racist and how can you classify Dukes as misunderstood...does that not minimize what he did?? "

let me explain for the challenged.

it's racist because you are actively trying to miscontrue what is written to further your agenda of accusing NOIS of saying that black people take no responsibility for themselves.

ok?

and misunderstood doesn't devalue or increase the responsibility.

it means the impetus behind his actions is NOT clear or resolved or maybe his actions were misinterpreted in some capacity.

it is completely unrelated to responsibility.

unless one is trying to erroneously and negligently completely disregard the definition of words to accuse the writer of being a bigot.

face it. you are wrong.

he can't change anyone's mind if he doesn't understand the POINT of the posts.

if you make comments that are so far off the reality of what is being addressed in the post...how can you hope to change someones mind.

at this point, he should just hope he doesn't continue to look lost.

i have learned alot from you all...i have learned that bigotry and insults as long as they are not directed at black people are perfectly acceptable. I have learned that on this blog you look up to stellar individuals like gary sheffield and michael vick...i have learned that you are pretty much hopeless.

My opinion of this blog is far different than many of your readers who specifically come here to disagree, where as I come here thinking man I need some place in the world where people my point of view. And you know what our similarities are, is that we are intelligent minorities who can give you something different than what the media forces down your throat. Understand that our opinions are not far off reality, but instead a different perspective than th reality that you choose to live in.
---------------------------------
Now for the millions of you who still proclaim that Weis was being lured by the NFL after his second season, you just have to look at the facts which is that Ty was close to being fired and Weis was getting a new contract. Do you know how much of a gap there is between the two. Even if he wasn't getting fired he was still loved, and Ty was about to get fired...for having the same record. Face it ND is racist.

oxymoron.

everyone is entitled to an opinion.

but not every opinion is entitled to consideration. yours is a joke.

Everyone keeps saying that at the same point in their careers they had the same record. but CW got an extension and Ty got fired.

Yes, CW got an extension. But Ty didn't get fired until he started losing. And he didn't get fired til after a losing season.

Halfway thru his 2d season, the NFL franchises weren't talking about signing Ty away. They were talking about signing away Charlie.

What is racist about it?

ND looks brilliant for not giving Ty an extension. after the half way point of his second season, his program fell apart.

Weiss went to the BCS two years in a row and brought in MILLIONS for ND.

Ty went to the gator bowl and lost to NC State...then did nothing...after starting his career 8 and 0...he went 11-14 in his 25 games and lost FIVE by more than 30 points...in the previous FORTY seasons, ND lost 4 by that many.

Yea, it's racist to fire a guy that lost more games by bigger margins over the course of his final 2 years than the program did over the previous 40.

yea, it's racist to lock a guy up in a contract when teams are lining up like hyenas to take him away. and not to lock a guy up who NO ONE is looking to sign.

The bottom line is that hindsight is 20/20.

In hindsight, ND did the right thing.

It got them back to the BCS for a second straight year. And it got rid of guy that had a great 8-0 start...and then did nothing.

Notre Dame is racist.

They are racist for giving a white coach a contract extension while a black coach with a similar record was fired a little while later.

But what about this white coach? Since he is white and coaches at ND, he must be racist, right? His staff must be ridiculously white, since he would want to surround himself with others like him, right?

Oh wait.

Mike Haywood, OC. Corwin Brown, DC. Jappy Oliver, D-Line. All black.

Note that the two most important positions after the Head Coach are both occupied by African Americans. These men are very good coaches. Brown, who is as of now untested on the field, is proving his worth as one of the best recruiters in college football. Both of these men could easily have head coaching jobs in 5 years. Weis is practicing the best way to ensure the future of the black Head Coach in football; namely, letting them work their way into it, instead of promoting them quickly so that they are in over their heads far too soon.

Charlie Weis is not racist.

Notre Dame is still racist though. After all, they only graduate 95% of their African American athletes. Schools like Michigan are much more progressive, with their 38% graduation rate.

Oh wait.. it's not racist to care about the future success of your athletes? But using them and then discarding them with nothing but a few years of football is?

Shocking.

Well then. Notre Dame must not have many black players then. They are, after all, the Duke of the Midwest. But wait.. the players who look like they will be starting are almost all black. On the Defense, only Tom Zbikowski is white. Maybe Vernaglia will threaten for a spot, but it doesn't look like it. On offense, if Demetrius Jones (who is amazing on all levels) starts (and believe me he should), then only the line and the TEs will be white. So of 22 starters, only 7 are white? Clear bias against blacks there.

As for the Ty firing being racist... There are many reasons that I do not think this was racially motivated. Hasty, maybe. I do not think he should have been fired until the end of the season. However, Charlie Weis is a better coach. He deserved the extension. That is not what this topic is about, though.

Sir, um. Ok.

Since that wasn't something we said.

We'll let you argue with yourself on that.

We love it when people like you come here, read what we say and make suppositional arguments based on NOTHING we said.

Argue the points we made.

Not the ones you would have hoped we made.
