here we go with this race crap. lets just make it a rooney rule that every team needs to have at least one black qb and he be given every opportunity to become the starter.
there is no double standard either your good at the position (or get put in a great situation) or your not good enough (or get put in a bad situation)
example 1. ben rothlisburger (not that good) but got put in a great situation which makes him look better than he really is.
example 2. jason campbell (pretty good) got put in an awfull situation which makes him look worse than what he is.
all in all these situations and others like them just are what they are, thats not a double standard, it has nothing to do with race.
