I think there’s some truth to this, but I also think theres a lot less black “gunslingers” because a lot of black qbs who could’ve been gunslingers weren’t because instead of forcing a 50/50 ball they were very mobile and able to scramble or extend the play for something better as a reliable option. Jameis Winston is the like the only black qb I can think of where gunslinger really jumps out as a way to describe his playstyle. Looking at the career interception leaders, Warren Moon was the only black qb I found in the top 75, like idk the race of every qb ever and maybe the ones that were gunslingers would lose their job quicker historically because of racism or something but I would’ve expected at least a few if recognize, there are plenty in the other passing stats.
