The person who sets the course of a player development is usually his high school coach. Given the limited number of quailty players he may have to choose from he puts them in a position that can best help his team.Those with speed and quickness are put into positons where they can best use their gifts. Those who don't possess speed and quickness must come up with another asset to get on the field.That other asset is throwing. High school offenses' are pretty simple and an elite arm will get you into college.It is in college where Qb's are taught how to read defenses and process information. It is at the college level where the elite few will exhibit the skills to be a professional Qb. On the other hand speed and quickness being the primary assets that best translates to all levels of football, those who possess it advance thru the various level of the game with greater ease. So lets assume for what ever reason there are greater numbers of whites being funneled into the position of Qb in highschool it stands to reason there will be more white Qbs in the pros.As far as IQ is concerned, comments about tests scores as predictors of NFL success. They are completely off base.There is such a thing as football IQ and it has relatively little to with standard IQ tests.If that were not the case all the starting Qb's in the NFL would come from the Ivy league and there would be no Jim Kelly's,Joe Nanmath's, Johnny Unitas's and Terry Bradshaw's.Done of whom are exactly intellectual giants.
