The Whiteballing of Daunte Culpepper and Byron Leftwich
August 13, 2008
In three years and six games of a fourth year Byron Leftwich amassed a 24-20 record with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2007 he was suddenly released by Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio. Leftwich was replaced by David Garrard. Leftwich remained unemployed for most of the season. He was picked up by the Atlanta Falcons as an afterthought. Leftwich was 0-2 as a starter with Atlanta and was released by a team in disarray.Sunday, Leftwich was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to temporarily replace injured backup Charlie Batch. Leftwich is using the three remaining preseason games the Steelers play as a series of auditions in the hopes of latching onto a team for the upcoming NFL season.
At age 23 Daunte Culpepper was the toast of Minnesota. The huge quarterback led the Vikings to an 11-5 record and was voted to his first Pro Bowl appearance. Though he would never lead Minnesota to another winning record, Culpepper played in two more Pro Bowls (2003-2004; Minnesota was 7-7 in 2003 and 6-6 in 2004) and had a 32-38 record and threw for 135 touchdowns while throwing 86 interceptions in 2607 passing attempts as a starter with the Vikes.
Today Daunte Culpepper is unemployed.
While both Leftwich and Culpepper were thrust into the starter role for their teams very early in their careers, Chad Pennington sat for his first two years before taking the helm of the New York Jets. In five and-a-half seasons as a starter with the Jets Pennington compiled a 32-39 record.
After Brett Favre was traded from Green Bay to the Jets Pennington was released by the Jets and picked up by the Miami Dolphins head player personnel honcho Bill Parcells. Pennington immediately began taking snaps as the starter for the Miami Dolphins.
Leftwich is known as the prototype big (6′5″, 250 pounds), strong pocket passer who will stand tall in the face of unending defensive pressure until he spots an open receiver. He has absorbed many hits - illegal and borderline illegal - below his knees for his efforts.
Culpepper is known as the 21st century prototype “field general.” At 6′4″ and 264 pounds Culpepper can stand in the pocket with the best of quarterbacks. But unlike pocket passers Culpepper has the speed to break containment and scramble. When he chooses to head upfield, Daunte becomes the most feared player on the field. Defensive backs do not want to tackle this human freight train and many linebackers just bounce off him as he rolls downfield.
Both Leftwich and Culpepper possess rocket arms; it is difficult for a receiver to outrun their arms.
Pennington, like Leftwich, is not immobile and enjoys the comfort of the pocket. However, unlike Leftwich, Pennington does not possess an arm that can get him out of trouble. The new Dolphins quarterback must rely on timing to complete passes in the tight spaces that are the norm in the NFL. Pennington is an extremely accurate passer but cannot stretch the field at will. The Jets ran an offense that relied on receivers who, for the most part, could create yardage after the catch which enhanced Pennington’s yards per pass stats and allowed him to throw to mid-range areas on the field. But because of his relatively weak arm, Pennington was unable to complete 30-yard deep out passes and a pass thrown a split second late often resulted, and results, in an interception, or near-interception.
The excuse for Pennington is that Bill Parcells drafted Chad in the first place when Parcells was with the Jets. But do the San Francisco 49ers have the same excuse? J.T. O’Sullivan, formerly of NFL Europe, anyone? Brodie Croyle gives the Kansas City Chiefs their best chance at winning this season? Jon Kitna in Detroit? Matt Ryan in Atlanta? Kyle Boller in Baltimore? Kurt Warner or Matt Leinart with Arizona?
And despite Parcells’ prior link to Pennington - his immediate insertion into the starter’s role also means Parcells is not long for his job with the Dolphins - can you afford to bet the bank on an oft-injured, weak-armed quarterback with a 32-39 career record?
Neither Leftwich not Culpepper is worthy of competing in an open competition with any of these teams?
From this distance it looks like Daunte and Byron are in the midst of being whitewashed, whiteballed, and whitelisted from the NFL.
Then again, Mark Cuban is involved in starting a new football league, the United Football League. The league plans to kickoff in 2009 and has a black commissioner, Michael Huyghue. And depending on his status in federal prison, Michael Vick is said to be the league’s biggest draw.
The NFL owners have the philosophy that every player is no more than an interchangeable part to be used, abused, and discarded at will.
Brett Favre found that out the hard way.
But don’t think Cuban, the ultimate “player’s owner,” doesn’t know this. And don’t think he won’t be part of an ownership crew that plans to humanize its league’s players; not the the extent of “He Hate Me” but the stifling conditions the NFL places on its players will certainly be relaxed in the UFL - group touchdown celebrations will certainly be allowed.
Cuban also understands what puts butts in seats. He will spearhead and foster a fan-friendly environment and ensure that players are well cared for. As a man who loves to expose the tender, raw side of the establishment, Cuban will, through the UFL, surely seek to expose the draconian mindset of the NFL and publicly juxtapose it with his offering.
It is little wonder that ESPN, the television network and ESPN.com have devoted so little time and space to the league’s forming.
However, for Byron Leftwich and Daunte Culpepper, it might not be such a bad thing if no team picks them up. Perhaps distance from the game will allow them to understand that they were pursuing employment from men who have actively “channeled their inner plantation owner.”
Men who employ “coaches” who, for the most part, act like field bosses overseeing uncivilized heathens. They demand that players work beyond their physical limits and whip the broken and wounded survivors into believing that wins and losses equal life and death. And if a survivor fails to buy into that most fallacious illogic related to the playing of a brutal game, or if the survivor gives the appearance of not being able to perform in constant pain the heathen is discarded and the overseer will change the locks to the plantation owner’s facilities.
And the heathen suddenly finds contract signed by all parties is worth less than the paper on which it was printed.
Hell, with Leftwich, Culpepper, and Vick at the helm of teams, the UFL might just become known as the “BQL.” That would be the Black Quarterback’s League.
Everyone knows the NFL will be watching the workings of the UFL closely. And if the new entry into professional football galaxy shows continued signs of being able to sustain life on its planet, the NFL owners will come calling with buckets of cash up front for its key players.
And suddenly, with a new perspective on the old league and games to play in the new league, the UFL might not be such a bad place, after all.

Got something to say?
Excellent piece, Dwil. Please stay on this subject cause there are countless examples of double standards existing at the QB position.
One can only hope that the UFL succeeds and takes a bite, however big, however small, from the NFL….and if there really is a work stoppage in 2011, here’s hoping the NFL can’t recover from it.
Brotha Dwil Leftwich was signed by the steelers this week after Charlie Batch went down.
http://news.steelers.com/article/93232/
Great piece once again brotha. Like you were reading my mind. The F uped part in all of this is how a bum like Rex Grossman is still in the freaking league.
Also do you guys think that the vick incident last year had an affect of how low guys like woodson were drafted this year?
Couldn’t agree more sista miranda.
If i remember correctly, Origin, the reason why Woodson went so low was because he had really small hands, a funky release, and was a bit of a one-year wonder.
and Chicago and Minnesota are better examples of places where Leftwich and Culpepper should have gotten shots than say….. Atlanta, where they’ve already stated that they want Matt Ryan to start from day one in camp, Baltimore where Boller’s a placeholder until Flacco is ready and San Franscisco has Alex Smith dueling with JT O. Sullivan (who actually played well for them last year). But Chicago, Minnesota, Miami, and Kansas City all should bring Culpepper in for a look.
These are two players who need to be spotlighted on a regular basis. While you didn’t discuss the fiscal implications of signing Daunte Culpepper (I have no idea what they are. Does he have a baseline contractual demand?), I can understand his desire to command a hefty salary. He needs some time to heal (fully) and then return to his dominating form. He should be doing that on someone’s roster. He had one of the greatest seasons of all time not too long ago. Some folks have ranked it in the top 4 or 5 — and he did much of that with Randy Moss injured.
I believe we’ve had this discussion previously (at some serious length over at TSF) concerning the use of backup QB slots as an affirmative action program for scrub ass white QBs. There is no need to revisit that one…I don’t even know if the archive still exists, but this is clearly a case of rewarding mediocrity at the expense of building a competitive roster.
At the end of the day, Leftwich is better off having left Atlanta and Culpepper is better off having left the Raiders. It’s great that you mentioned Kansas City and Brady Croyle. The Chiefs have always needed a strong-armed QB because prior to drafting Bowe, they’d never had a receiver who could do anything other than run a fly route (Derrick Alexander, Eddie Kennison, etc.) It would very interesting to see the Chiefs with either of these players in the fold.
Do you know if either of these players maintain websites to get their story out?
I don’t get how no one screams about Lane Kiffin deciding that McCown is a starter and Culpepper a backup. I mean, the only way you’re going to get old Culpepper back is if he can consistently start and get into a groove. Veteran QBs will play a lot better when they aren’t under pressure from the bench as well as defensive linemen.
Look at Kitna and Warner. They both have issues with durability down the stretch, but they have been reasonably effective given the starts they get. Kitna is having 4000-yard seasons at age 34 and Warner really showed he still has something left. Just bringing in these veteran QBs for spot duty for ‘project’ QBs is a waste of their salary, though, and that’s pretty much how I feel about the use of Culpepper and Leftwich since they left their old teams.
Both of them have sucked on ice for three years.
Ten years ago, this would have raised a lot of suspicion with me. But I don’t get the sense that there is any real type of quota on black QBs anymore. The Steelers are going to start the season with two black QBs on the roster.
origin-
FYI, this is from the 1st paragraph of my piece:
Sunday, Leftwich was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to temporarily replace injured backup Charlie Batch. Leftwich is using the three remaining preseason games the Steelers play as a series of auditions in the hopes of latching onto a team for the upcoming NFL season.
T3-
The archive on backups is in my archive article cache that I cannot seem to get to load to SOMM - sorry about that…. here’s all that exists for a personal site - it’s Daunte’s. Byron Leftwich has no website at all.
Everyone-
Thanks….
Sorry Dwil. I must have skipped over that section.
“The excuse for Pennington is that Bill Parcells drafted Chad in the first place when Parcells was with the Jets. But do the San Francisco 49ers have the same excuse? J.T. O’Sullivan, formerly of NFL Europe, anyone? Brodie Croyle gives the Kansas City Chiefs their best chance at winning this season? Jon Kitna in Detroit? Matt Ryan in Atlanta? Kyle Boller in Baltimore? Kurt Warner or Matt Leinart with Arizona?”
First, let me say i’m not trying to make excuses.
Second,
Are any of those teams in a position where they’re a quarterback away? JT O’Sullivan played under Mike Martz last year in Detroit and the new SF Coordinator is Mike Martz, Brodie Croyle has been in the league what, 2 years and he’s been in and out of the lineup with Trent Green and Huard holding it down, Kitna is backed up by 2 twenty something draft picks and Stanton is supposedly the QB of the future anyway, and Boller well, if Troy Smith or Flacco can’t beat out Boller then there’s a problem.
None of those teams are in a position to win, so why build your team around a guy who is 2 years removed from a catastrophic knee injury who hasn’t produced since the injury and a guy who, sure he stands in the pocket and gets hit, but he doesn’t stay healthy?
I’ll argue it until I’m blue in the face, it’s about the status of the team and the playcalling. I think Culpeper would have been good in Detroit, but he would’ve been mauled behind the offensive line, same with Leftwich. Leftwich got a shot in Atlanta and got hurt.
Culpeper could’ve landed in Baltimore with Billick had he not been fired, but why should Culpeper sign only 1 year deals if he feels he’s worth more? His knee was completely blown up, he’ll likely never return to the form he once had.
Boney makes the arguments that I’m sure most mainstream media folks would make. The rule is if there is any reason other than race why something could be occurring, then race is not a valid issue to raise.
I’m not knocking Boney, that’s how he’s been trained to think. I’ve been trained differently. Now, I don’t know if race is the real issue here or not, Boney could be right abotu those other factors. What I would like to see is a sports world where we could have a discussion where ALL factors are discussed, including race. I wish the mainstream media, white and black, didn’t treat race like some toxic substance to be avoided at all costs.
Just some thoughts.
It’s amazing the hypocrisy in the reasons cited for Leftwich and Culpepper not being signed right now. Leftwich is immobile and has a hitch in his delivery that causes it to take a long time to deliver the ball. Like, Kurt Warner perhaps? I heard one analyst on ESPN say that Culpepper can’t read defenses very well. (I don’t buy that argument at all, but that’s an argument for another day.) Rex Grossman or Brett Favre anyone?
We’ve all seen, with the right offense, almost any quarterback that makes it into the league can succeed. The thing that I don’t see, is the offensive coordinators playing to Leftwich’s or Culpepper’s strengths. That used to be what offensive coordinators did. Now it seems like they all try to find ways to score over 40 points a game. An effective offense doesn’t have to be prolific (as long as a team has any kind of a defense). Either of the two is easily better than over half of the QB’s starting today.
I heard a theory on why black quarterbacks don’t succeed more in the NFL a couple of years ago. Most of the coordinators are white, and want their quarterback to play the position like they learned/played it. In other words, they can’t relate to this guy that can scramble and throw a 50 yard strike on the run. They can’t see that their West Coast offense is not the ideal offense to use with a quarterback that has a strong arm. A few actually will be adventurous and try to actually coach to the offense that they have (Mike Mularkey with the Steelers and Kordell Stewart). But, too many try to make the team fit their offense even if the team isn’t built to play that style. Tarvaris Jackson, watch out!
Hey dwil, I was wondering if someone could address if the reason Kobe is having shooting problems during the olympics because of his finger injury. Nobody is addressing it because Kobe hasnt said anything about it but maybe it is worse than people think, especially since he didnt perform on par to his level during the finals either. Maybe the accumulated play has affected his hand more than we thought?
Thank you, thank you for writing this article. I’m not the biggest fan of Culpepper (however someone did mention is coulda-been MVP season) but with the arms that these guys have they should be on someone rosters somewhere and if money is not the reason than there is no other true viable reason than the obvious.
And big ups to Mark Cuban creating another league. As much as I love watching the NFL I have absolutely no misguided “brand loyalty.” I didn’t watch the XFL because I think Vince McMahon is a racist bastard but at the least Cuban appears to be a players advocate or in any case likes to stick it to the “man” (NFL, NBA). One can hope that the notoriously go along to get along NFL player recognizes an opportunity to perhaps be a part of something that could change the status quo. And a black commsioner? Nice.
thanks for this dwil. bang this drum. damn, I didn’t even KNOW about Culpepper (I don’t usually sink into NFL before September)
I agree with dwil and T3 about this preference of white bench players. It happened in baseball since forever. Up until the ‘90 the last two guys on any NBA bench were white and now it is just reduced to the whitest cities. And today the back-up QB is front and center. Of course, the exceptions don’t disprove the rule. But there is simply no way the likes of Culpepper and Leftwitch should be sending out their resumes - NO WAY.
Also, I agree with kos’ take on the cultural aspect to this and overwhelmingly white coaches. There are many cultural biases that work against black quarterbacks and NFL coaches are historically very stubborn and don’t adapt.
—————————
Big Man, I like the way you put that as in “trained to think”. Because that’s what it is in many respects, and the process must involve “untraining”. The notion that the mere existence of an alternative possiblility automatically trumps race is always a stumbling block, The process involves “untraining”. as I have continually had to untrain myself from a flawed principle impressed on me since birth. As you said, it is not really about agreement, but as always giving the race factor a fair and genuine hearing. Boney is a candidate for “untraining” because — at his core –he does genuinely seek truth…. Boney, I don’t mean to talk like you are not in the room, but I think Big Man nailed it about “trained to think”.
Personally, I can see the reasoning for not pursuing Leftwich; he’s a slow pocket passer who reminds me a lot of Bledsoe and needs a strong running game to succeed.
Culpepper, on the other hand, has a history of insane numbers, and I don’t believe the Vikings had much of a running game in several of those years. Given the one year to play again after surgery, he naturally struggled a little. But I expect monster years out of McNabb and Culpepper now that they’ve had a year to come back, and I think you’re right that it’s ridiculous no one has picked him up yet.
MODI and Big Man,
After playing baseball and football (and coaching both) I can honestly say that my viewpoint is based on what I perceive to put the team in the best situation possible, when discussing this topic.
It’s reason why I take the stance I take with Bonds and even Sheffield now, because at the bare bones, we must think can these guys really help a team win with the way they’re currently set up?
None of the teams that dwil mentioned are in the position to pay big money for a quarterback, because they are more than a QB away from competing.
I’ll put SF as a good example. I’ve read jokes about how the media will let Alex Smith off the hook because he’s had 4 coordinators in 4 years in the league and he’s white. Leftwich is the same way… anywhere Leftwich goes, he’s a rookie all over again. It’s not like he’s been in a west coast offense, a spread offense, i-form base offense, etc… he’s been in the Jax offense and whatever crap Bobby the Quitter had in place last season. Just like Alex Smith… He’s a rookie all over, every time a new coordinator is in place. Quarterbacks just don’t step in and contribute from Day 1.
I hope Leftwich gets a chance, but I know Culpeper’s knee is what is going to keep teams away from him. It’s got to… you can’t pay a guy 750k to play 1 preseason game and then rehab all season, it’s just bad business.
all that being said…
I think McNabb puts up some numbers this year. I just hope he remains healthy.
I have trouble with the arguments that there is still a grand prejudice against black QBs.
Leftwich was replaced by Garrard. He then went to Atlanta, where he tried to replace Vick. And now he is replacing Batch.
Unless you are proposing that there is some sort of system where black QBs are slotted, it seems like we aren’t exactly operating in a dry era.
Again, ten or fifteen years ago, the prejudice was obvious and widespread. Now, I’m not so sure. We’ve entered an era where we have black QBs who are journeymen. I take that as a good sign.
By the way, I loved the Dixon pick for Pittsburgh. But no human being throws a football the way he throws a football. Something has to be done about that.
there is still prejudice against Black QB’s in the NFL. Hell if it wasnt,’ 70 % of the starters in the league would be Black; similar to the overrall make-up, and slighty less than the percent of Black players at the “skilled” positions.
Every year the combines are used to hype up some White QB with mediocre accomplishments, while Black QB’s are discredited. Case in point: Cutler a couple years back, this year, Flacco (division what?!) Last year, troy smith, based on one bad performance, in which he lost his gamebreaking receiver on the first play of the game, and the o-line was scared shitless of florida, goes from a heisman winning first rounder to a sixth round afterthought. Check out the fate of matt ryan and Andre woodson this season. while woodson performed well for a mediocre at best kentucky team and played against the toughest competition in the country, the SEC, ryan had a decent season for a good boston college team that played in an under-performing ACC last year. Then comes the combines and ryan makes some throws against practice dummys and, wa’la, hes the shit. woodson on the other hand all of a sudden has issues with his mechanics. All of this ‘critiquing” of these guys, mind you, is subjective.
I know black QB’s have made significant gains over the past 10 seasons, but there still is a bias against them. thats why Culpepper and Leftwich, despite his recent signing with Pitt, have had difficulties finding work. Thats also why someone like a mcnabb is constantly under a magnifying glass. Thats why Vick, before the dogfighing issues, which, in and of itself, was a strange case of overkill, was roundly criticized for Atl’s 7-9 season, despite having the best statistical season of his career. Thats why a kid like shaun king can go 15-8 in his two seasons, and be relegated to backup by his third, and oblivion soon after.
Just a few thoughts on the matter
Myron:
I think there are a few issues here that you need to split up. The Steelers cannot be the template for assessing the extent to which the league provides fair and just opportunities for players to compete at the QB position. The Rooney’s, albeit belatedly, arguably ushered in this new era of Black personnel across the league with “The Rooney Rule.” The Steelers had Black QB’s going back to the 1970’s. They drafted Kordell. They drafted Tee Martin (The cat who finally beat Florida for Tennessee.) I know that’s your squad - you know that’s my squad…still, aside from a few other teams, they are largely unique in that respect. Until very recently, several franchises never ventured down that road and never retained Blacks as high-quality back up QBs, regardless of the “race” of the starter.
Leftwich and Culpepper simply haven’t been healthy enough to blaze out as they have in the past. They’re too talented not to smoke defenses when they’re both healthy. The Jets lost games last year and in previous years because they could not stretch the field on offense. Defenses simply forced the team to play short - and they punished the dog shit out of those receivers. (Has anyone seen Wayne Chrebet lately?)
Ownership has its privileges. “Racism” does not always look like exclusion. There is more than one way to operate - and there always has been. Monolithic approaches become fossilized quickly.
Why should owners forego the opportunity to hire their own sons at the expense of subsidized recuperation for elite Black QBs? Given the history of sports in America (even the NBA had a tradition of reserving slots for white guys for decades), it simply doesn’t make sense that these players will have more than a moment to get right. They’re not backups - they’re starters.
Myron:
There is, by my count, exactly 1 journeyman Black QB in the NFL. A journeyman QB must, by my reckoning, have played on at least 3 teams - without establishing himself as the man in any one place. Wright is the only guy who fits that bill.
Perhaps more importantly, once you get below the top tier of Black QBs, you tend to only find Black QB’s where there are Black general managers (Baltimore - Ozzie Newsome, Jacksonville - James Harris) or two old AFC rivals Pittsburgh and Houston/Tennessee.
Other than that, it’s been a W-R-A-P. Not every Black QB in the league is a superstar. That’s the second barrier of the Racial Exclusion Game. The first barrier was breached by men like James Harris and Doug Williams. The second barrier which we are bearing witness to today is being breached by solid players like Batch, Seneca Wallace and folks like that. The third barrier (the one which is the essential subject of the initial post) is not being breached at all.
In fact, there are two components to this. First and foremost, Anthony Wright is in a class by himself and might be unemployed were it not for Black GMs in Baltimore and New York. In no way, shape or form should he be lumped with Leftwich and Culpepper. The real question, and second component, is whether or not players like Manning or Brady or Palmer would be granted opportunities to resume positions with their base club or another were they to suffer significant injuries? The answer, to my mind, is yes. Culpepper, statistically, is every bit as good as anyone that’s ever played.
I think Culpepper will eventually land someplace. But I think he is a bit of a unique case right now.
For one, he had a catastrophic injury and has never been the same.
Two, he’s burned a few bridges along the way.
Three, it doesn’t seem like he is being terribly practical about the situation he deserves. My understanding is that he wants the chance to compete for a starting job, which made Pittsburgh an impossibility. There are a few places where he could probably compete for a starting gig but he is persona non grata in two of them.
I could easily see him pulling a Cunningham at some point, and coming back after a hiatus and having one or two good seasons. But his injury history is terrifying.
Leftwich, I think, will play many years as a backup though he seems to be pretty much done as a full-time starter right now. I have no idea where his career went so wrong.
One thing has happened in the world of “black quarterbacks” that is significant, however. The rise of the spread option in college has reinforced the idea that “black” QBs are runners first and passers second. And any QB that comes out of that system is always going to be way behind other college QBs when it comes to transitioning to the NFL. Like I said, I love the signing of Dixon but he looks incredibly awkward behind center right now and his throwing motion is, frankly, disturbing.
It’s possible that the myopia of college coaches is going to have a big impact on the future of black QBs in the NFL. If every D-1 coach only sees black QBs as spread option guys, the numbers in the NFL will plummet over the next decade.
T3,
To be fair, if Cleo Lemon makes the Jaguars’ roster (thank you James Harris), he’ll bring your total to 2.
I have a big affinity for Marshall so I’ve followed Leftwich forever. And I love his heart. But he has never “smoked” anyone in the NFL. He had a decent years in 2004 and 2005, but he’s never topped 15 TDs. I don’t care what offense you are running, that’s low. Heck, Kordell topped 20 once, and he was approximately 50 times the runner Byron is.
I don’t want to dismiss prejudice against black QBs out of hand, and Leftwich and Culpepper do stand out. But they are obviously both going to end up somewhere, and it’s not like either of them is going to turn the clock back to 2004 tomorrow.
Here is something to think about, because it is the only thing that can explain Kurt Warner. Are there organizations that will keep “Christian” players well beyond the point that they would keep anyone else. Kyle Brady keeps bounching around the league despite losing his usefulness in 2002.
Sweet…that Lemon is getting his look at Jacksonville simply reinforces the point.
T3 and wa-diddy you guys pretty much read my mind on this subject.
