didnt see the video but...  with toby gerhart i think it is a "reverse racism" type of claim.

I did want to hit on the dez bryant stuff:

Most of the scouts are old, southern, white males, some probably grew up in the jim crow era.  So the things that come out of their mouths would shock and amaze you.  N-bombs are not uncommon.  So in the scouting department there certainly is a tinge of racism.

As far as toby goes:  get over yourself!  He is a good kid with a great work ethic but c'mon man.  A few years ago we had 2 WR's drafted, last season our all time leading WR went undrafted and was picked up by philly, despite running a suprisingly great 40 time.  So statistically he was better than the two WR's that were drafted.

I won't comment as to why he wasn;t drafted but rest assured the scouts are incredibly through. 

So there must be something that the scouts don;t like about toby.  Probably he is slow as molasses, not agile, and got by by running people over like a mack truck.  You need more than mack truck ability at the nfl.  It is one thing to run over college students, it is another to run over ray lewis or albert haynesworth (if his fat ass would ever pass a conditioning test) Remember we played him every year so I have seen him a ton in my life

The video, shown above, is private and I can not watch it.

Are you happy now Joe?
