Examining the black quarterback issue

With the recent struggles of Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans, the issue of whether or not the presence of the successful black quarterback in the NFL is "dead" has been revived in both the media and the blogosphere.

The best piece that I've read on the matter, by far, can be found here. The article is pretty long -- around 6,000 words -- but it's well worth the time.

I'd love to add more to the discussion, but after reading the article, there isn't much else that I can say that would be any better or more on the mark than that.
