He is an inspiration and changing the QB position and the view of the black QB. Look at the NFL today. Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes are now Super Bowl Champion Quarterbacks. But before that Steve McNair and Donovan McNabb led teams to Super Bowls even though they didn't win. Thank you Doug. You are one of my favorite QB's of all times.

[@jg1871]

Again I never get tire of watching this. His performance was legendary and has left a legacy he has to be very proud of. A great QB, a great person, and one great role model. Patrick Mahomes must have channeled his inner Doug Williams playing hurt and leaving it all on the field. I am a Georgia fan and even though Hurts was Alabama I always cheer for SEC player. But I and a Mahomes fan. Hopefully Jalen gets back and I can cheer him on. Unless, Stetson Bennett goes to the AFC and starts and leads a team there like cool Joe led the Bengals. My teams growing up were the Steelers and Falcons late 70's and 80's. Hope Stetson goes to either.

Then, while playing in a Sunday morning flag football league it became apparent that nobody could catch him. He was encouraged to walk on at Glendale C.C. which he did.He made 1st string defense. Then a scout from the Nebraska Cornhuskers saw him while scouting a kid from the opposing team. Got offered a scholarship and became one of the famous Nebraska black shirts. He was then drafted by the Redskins. I remember watching this game and thinking that he looked like a kid from Cortez High School with the same name that he resembled. Then I found out 25 years later that it was HIM! I ended up moving back to Detroit after my 10th grade year, but I definitely remember him.

Talk about the dangers of stereotypes. Washington completed a successful Super Bowl run with a Black quarterback and a White cornerback. Remember the first-round matchup vs the Bears.

Joe Gibbs agreed to trade Doug Williams to the Raiders that year, but then changed his mind. One of the best moves he never made. Watching Doug Williams play so great that second quarter and help win that Superbowl was amazing. He changed people's mindset that game. Black, White, Brown, Yellow. Nobody ever played like that in a Superbowl. Thank you Doug for showing people that great performances come in ALL COLORS. 🙏

[@ShmuelWeintraub]

There were lots of black QBs at that time good enough to start and play. The only reason they didn't is because the old boys network kept them out (just as in baseball decades earlier). As the saying goes, the only reason some of those guys aren't in the hall of fame is that they were prevented from even playing a single game.

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

ShmuelWeintraub There were lots of Black college QB's who were converted to other positions once they got to the pro's. There were lots of Black QB's who started and played before Doug Williams. But Doug played out of his mind in the second quarter of that Superbowl. He played better than any QB ever had before. Everyone saw that performance. The knock on black QB's in the 80's was, they were not smart enough to win a Superbowl. Nobody could ever say a Black QB was not smart enough to win a Superbowl ever again. He set the standard for ever Black QB to come after him. 👍😆😆

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

ShmuelWeintraub Marlin Briscoe started for Denver in 1968. After 2 seasons of setting records he was cut. James Harris started for Buffalo in 1969. He went to the Rams and then was traded to the Chargers. JJ Jones started in 1975. Joe Gilliam started for the Steelers until Bradshaw was ready to take over. Dave Mays. Vince Evans. Parnell Dickinson. All started at QB in the NFL. So a lot did start and play in the NFL. Yes it is a good ol boys network. Just like in baseball. But when you get the chance to shine. You have to Explode and Burn Bright. 👍💎💎💎💎💣💣💣💣

The trade off between these three commentators was excellent. Dan Dierdorf knew the game intimately as an NFL offensive lineman for 13 years. He was a superb player and his commentary was top notch.

[@freddyrobinson6453]

It is mind-boggling that an "N.F.L." team could rack up 602 total yards in a "SuperBowl" game which is a record to date. Every offensive lineman for Washington should have been elected to the pro "Football Hall of Fame" after this overwhelming performance. George Rogers was intended to start this "SuperBowl" at running back. If Timmy Smith set a (still standing) "Super Bowl" record with 204 yards rushing, it's frightening to think what a healthy George Rogers could have amassed. Possibly almost 400 yards rushing and set a record that no one would have approached. John Elway probably still has nightmares recollecting about this brutally, historic "Super Bowl" rout.

I agree. When Doug was in Tampa he was the only quality player they had. In fact he carried the team on his shoulders. Blockers couldn't block, receivers couldn.t catch and runners ran with no vision like they were blind. Doug Williams was very hard to sack and could make every throw from any position on the field with astonishing accuracy. I feel he was the third best QB to ever play the game behind Patrick Mahomes and Big Ben Roethlesberger who is bound for Canton Ohio.
