It& #39;s been a question on my mind for a few years now: Where do the Bears rank among NFL franchises in terms of Black starting quarterbacks?

I& #39;ve spent about a year crunching the numbers. Here are my findings.

A thread. https://readjack.wordpress.com/2020/09/17/the-complete-history-of-black-nfl-starting-quarterbacks-ranked-by-franchise/">https://readjack.wordpress.com/2020/09/1...

The question of why the Bears seem to consistently make the wrong choice at quarterback has been alive since at least the 1940s, when Papa Bear brought in two brilliant QBs as heirs to Sid Luckman& #39;s throne, and managed to lose both of them within 4 years. https://twitter.com/readjack/status/1196284059657392130">https://twitter.com/readjack/...
But whether our history with Black quarterbacks was a problem unto itself is a matter of debate among Bears fans. We& #39;ve had four starters in our 101 seasons: Vince Evans, Henry Burris, Kordell Stewart, Jason Campbell.

I wanted to see what the total numbers said, leaguewide.

My methodology is explained in the story, but I& #39;ll note here that this piece would have been impossible without:

The article includes short, detailed histories about each franchise& #39;s Black quarterbacks, as well as the executives and coaches who brought the players to the team.

My year of research on Black starting quarterbacks in the NFL is complete.

I learned a lot. I hope you do too.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misidentified Jordan Love as white. I regret this error. Thank you @jtwashin.

How the NFL forgot its greatest black pioneer

Fritz Pollard was the NFL's first black coach and its first black quarterback, but most American football fans have never heard of him.
