I was responding to the question is this a blip or crack for Jackson, not trying to make a statement about race.
The QB play styles that mostly close resemble Jackson are Watson, Mahomes, Newton, and Wilson. I couldn't compare Jackson's MVP play to Brady, Ryan, or Bree's MVP seasons because they are not mobile. I chose Newton as the closest example to Jackson because they both had a dramatic rise in production as a young QB after having an average year. The last two times a young QB had a substantial amount of time off in the playoffs, their ability tends to decline dramatically. That was the line I was trying to draw. It was just happenstance that both of those QB's were black so I correlated that detail in. Wilson, Watson, and Mahomes are the best QB's still in the playoffs. I didn't mean to cause any animosity.

I mentioned Jackson being beat by a backup QB to contrast his season to Newton's MVP season. Peyton Manning was a backup before the Superbowl after being benched and still beat the MVP Newton in the SB after coming off the bench. Tannihill was a backup QB for Mariota and ended up beating Jackson.
