There will always be a market for white QB's that can sit in the pocket and sling the ball down the field. The top 3 QBs in the projected 2016 draft class are white, and 4 of the top 5 are white. If scouts and coaches are so obsessed with black mobile QB's, then they would have all black QB's projected in the top 5.
Do some homework before you give an opinion. Otherwise, your opinions hold no substance.

1. Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis
Height: 6-7. Weight: 245.
Projected 40 Time: 4.78.
Projected Round (2016): 1-2.
11/19/15: In 2015, Lynch has completed 69 percent of his passes for 3,292 yards with 21 touchdowns and three interceptions.
Lynch has a great skill set but is raw and needs development. His footwork and field vision are the primary areas to improve. Lynch does have an arm that can make all the throws for the pro game, and he has flashed the ability to pass accurately and beat good coverage with precise completions into tight windows. However, Lynch needs to become more consistent with the ability to thrive as a pocket passer. He also the has athleticism to make plays with his feet and or throws on the run. His draft stock has risen with Memphis' strong start to the season, which included an upset over Ole Miss.
In his previous seasons as a starter, Lynch used his running ability more. As a sop re, he ran for 321 yards with 13 touchdowns while completing 63 percent of his passes for 3,031 yards with 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Lynch completed 58 percent of his passes for 2,056 yards with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions as a freshman.
2. Jared Goff*, QB, California
Height: 6-4. Weight: 210.
Projected 40 Time: 4.71.
Projected Round (2016): 1-2.
11/19/15: In 2015, Goff has completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,319 yards with 30 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Early in the season, he beat up on weak compe ion, but he hasn't played as well against quality opponents like Utah, UCLA and USC.
A lot of draft media, like the experts at ESPN, have been pumping Goff as a top-of-the-draft prospect. As one scout told me, "They're giving him the Teddy Bridgewater treatment," i.e. overhyping. One scouting director told WalterFootball.com that he would go see Goff in November. He said that Goff was a good player, but he didn't feel he was top-of-the-draft worthy right now. Another scout said they were lukewarm on Goff as a pro quarterback.
In speaking to another general manager from a team that is among the best at evaluating and developing quarterbacks, he felt that Goff was the best of the draft-eligible signal-callers. Obviously, there isn't a real consensus about Goff among NFL evaluators.
Still, Goff has shown a strong, accurate arm with quality field vision. He also has functional mobility to avoid rushers and pick up some yards on the ground. Goff needs to add weight for the NFL and also could have some issues with getting rattled and handling the rush at the next level.
The junior is a natural thrower with quality mechanics, some functional mobility and an arm capable of making all of the throws. His stats are inflated by a college offense that has a lot of instant passes though. Coming from his college system, he will need development for the NFL with field vision, working under center and holding up in the face of a pass rush. Goff also is very thin for the NFL.
8/8/14: Goff enjoyed a breakout 2014 season. The sop re completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Goff displayed some pocket-passing potential while playing with a less-than-ideal supporting cast. He struggled against USC's good defense taking sacks and had a few interceptions dropped. Goff needs to perform better against top compe ion. He became the starter as a freshman in 2013 and completed 60 percent of his passes for 3,508 yards with 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
3. Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 218.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Projected Round (2016): 1-2.
11/19/15: Cook has connected on 56 percent of his passes this season for 2,482 yards for 21 touchdowns and four interceptions. He played well against Oregon, but hasn't been overwhelming against some mediocre opponents, though he had a prolific game against Rutgers. The Spartans have admitted their play calling has been overly conservative and need to let Cook throw more often.
Cook has athleticism, good size, experience in a pro-style system and a strong arm that can make some beautiful throws downfield into tight windows. However, he isn't a quarterback who drops back and throws 50 times a game while dominating a defense. His accuracy needs improvement as well. Cook has been more of a game manager, and that could be his future in the NFL.
8/8/15: Cook completed 58 percent of his passes in 2014 for 3,214 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. League sources identified Cook as a potential high first-round pick. He needs to improve certain aspects of his game to meet that grade though, mainly accuracy. Cook has proven to NFL evaluators that he has a big arm, pocket presence, the mobility to avoid rushers and roll out, and the ability to make the occasional precision throw. Cook plays in a pro-style system and has shown steady improvement with his ability to function out of the pocket while working through his progressions.
Cook has often thrown the ball better than his numbers illustrate. He can make some amazingly accurate throws into extremely tight windows for completions downfield, but also has some inconsistency with his accuracy on the routine passes and when going deep down the middle. Cook has to improve his footwork, which in turn will help his accuracy.
2013 was Cook's first year as the full-time starter, and he got off to a slow start before coming on strong in the second half of the season to help lead the Spartans to a Big Ten le and victory over Stanford in the Rose Bowl. Cook completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 2,755 yards with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions for the year. He had great games against Ohio State (24-40 for 304 with 3 touchdowns, 1 interception) and Stanford (22-36 for 332 yards with 2 touchdown, 1 interception) to close out that season.
4. Cardale Jones*, QB, Ohio State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 250.
Projected 40 Time: 4.75.
Projected Round (2016): 1-3.
11/19/15: This season, Jones has displayed his big arm and great skill set, but must get better at reading the field and with his passing technique. He is undefeated in his 11 starts in college, but with such little playing time needing development is understandable.
Jones has completed 63 percent of his passes this season for 1,460 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions. Aside from his right-arm cannon, he also has displayed his running ability and how difficult he is to sack with his huge size. Jones is very physically gifted, but he's raw and needs to gain experience.
8/8/15: Jones put on a display in 2014 after entering the starting lineup behind Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett. Jones has great size and a cannon for an arm. In his three starts, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 860 yards with seven touchdowns and two interceptions. Jones has a lot of upside and it will be fun to watch him in 2015, assuming he wins the starting job over J.T. Barrett.
Jones needs to improve his ability to throw while under heat. He also needs to get faster working through his progressions, moving his eyes and getting rid of the ball. Jones can hold onto the ball too long when plays start to break down on him. When Jones has a clean pocket, he displays the ability to make any throw the NFL asks for. While Jones is a pocket passer, he will take yards on the ground when available and has some athleticism as a runner. Jones can be tough to bring down for defenders in or out of the pocket.
Sources from multiple teams said that they view Jones as having a first-round skill set and if performed for an entire season the way he played in his three starts, he would be a first-rounder. Teams have questions about Jones' football I.Q. and off-the-field maturity, so his pre-draft interviews will be important to address those questions.
5. Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 234.
Projected 40 Time: 4.87.
Projected Round (2016): 2-3.
11/19/15: In 2015, Hackenberg has completed 54 percent of his passes for 1,997 yards with 13 touchdowns and three interceptions. He had terrible games against Rutgers and Temple, but good outings against Buffalo, San Diego State, Indiana and Illinois.
Clearly, Hackenberg needs to improve his accuracy and decision-making, but the junior is still playing in a bad situation with a weak offensive line and weak receivers. He also is a pro-style quarterback forced to play in a college spread offense that doesn't fit him well at all. Over the last two seasons, Hackenberg has routinely made some beautiful throws that are dropped by his receivers.
In speaking with sources, some teams see Hackenberg as a potential top quarterback prospect, but others don't like him. The ones who don't say that he has average accuracy and is a statue in the pocket. There also is concern about how teammates respond to him.
8/8/15: Hackenberg completed 56 percent of his passes in 2014 for 2,677 yards with 12 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He played better than the numbers indicate as his supporting cast was a huge liability, including an awful offensive line. Hackenberg closed out the 2014 season with a huge comeback overtime win over Boston College, completing 34-of-50 for 371 yards and four touchdowns.
In terms of a skill set, Hackenberg has what the NFL is looking for with a size, pocket presence, field-vision potential and a strong arm that can push the ball downfield. James Franklin's offense didn't help Hackenberg develop much as a NFL pocket-passer prospect last season as so many of the play calls were instant throws because of a weak offensive line that couldn't maintain its blocks. Hackenberg needs to improve his ball placement and decision-making in some areas, but his supporting cast really hurt him last year. At times, Hackenberg makes some brilliant throws downfield after working off his first read, and if he does that regularly as a junior, he could be a high first-rounder.
Hackenberg was the star recruit for Bill O'Brien and proved the hype legit during an impressive freshman season that saw him named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Hackenberg completed 59 percent of his passes for 2,955 yards with 20 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2013. He also ran for four touchdowns. Sources in the NFL feel that Hackenberg could end up being an elite quarterback prospect.
