In fact, Wiley makes the Kordell point in his article. Even then, i don't know that i'd agree that Kordell is overrated by the media because they want to see a black QB succeed... frankly, his continued employment in the NFL as a quarterback is utterly mystifying to me. He's a great athlete, but as a QB he's not good enough. It's like Jeff George, whose only saving grace was his cannon arm.
