In what has already been an extremely busy free-agency season (which started about 12 hours ago), one of the lesser known deals was that involving former Dolphins quarterback Cleo Lemon signing with the Jaguars. Lemon, known mainly as the gunslinger who threw that historic pass in overtime to seal an incredible victory over the Ravens, joins a quarterback corps that already includes David Garrard and Quinn Gray.
Reportedly the last photograph taken of a white quarterback in Jacksonville.
Why is this interesting? Well, it's not. Except for the fact that Garrard, Gray, and Lemon are all African-American and that the Jaguars have not played a white quarterback since the third week in the 2003 season. Holy Michael Vick! That's going to be at least five years without a Caucasian man under center! That has to be some sort of record. Marlin Briscoe should be proud today.
