A lesson for the anonymous NFC executive who can’t find the right car in a parking lot.
In case you didn’t know–or missed it–I’m fortunate to join Cecil Lammey, Sigmund Bloom, and Jene Bramel on Thursdays for the live Audible podcast that is now a Hangout (at bottom of page). Last week’s 52-minute show covers topics from the NFL Draft:
- Buy/Sell QB News
- Match Game: “What Would Bloom Say?”
- My rant on NFL executives and their discomfort with Teddy Bridgewater.
Funny how a this rant came a week before an NFL executive said that Bridgewater is soft. Just a word of advice to the anonymous NFC executive: If you want to disguise your discomfort with drafting an intelligent, dark-skinned black man as the leader of your offense, I suggest you find another criticism.
Bridgewater took some big hits during his career and never went into a shell. You clearly need an education. I suggest you travel down the hall to those offices that have the word “Scout” on the name plate and ask them to show you tape of this Rutgers game where Bridgewater comes off the bench with a broken wrist and a badly sprained ankle on his plant leg to lead a comeback against Rutgers.
Bridgewater put his team in the Sugar Bowl with this effort where he later stomped a top-ranked Florida defense that smacked him around early on.
I have to presume that you’re a product of rampant nepotism, otherwise you would have never used Byron Leftwich as an example of being soft. The former Jaguars’ starter may have had his share of issues on the field, but getting bent into a pretzel and coming back for more was never one of them.
Leftwich was a top-10 pick – a good example that there are NFL organizations willing to invest in a high pick on a pocket quarterback of color.
As for you, anonymous NFC executive, it must be tough for you when you continue to mistake the Hyundai with your Mercedes in your parking lot (same paint color and all . . .). Let me help you:
One more time . . .
I know it’s difficult to tell the difference. Keep looking at the visuals of them in action and let someone else do the drafting for you until you figure it out.
For the rest of you, here’s the Hangout (Bridgewater part at 22-minute mark):

Loved and greed with your take on Bridgewater. This whole offseason has been nothing but people fishing for reasons not to like him.
Loving that Jene went with the freaking “bookshelf” motif for the background of his senior picture. : )
This is the time of year for NFL misinformation, so I wonder why the anonymous comment is controversial. For all we know, maybe the comment was made by Reggie McKenzie or Rick Spielman hoping to talk down Bridgewater’s draft status so they can select him to lead their teams. Although I’m certain I would cite a better example than Leftwich, if I thought Bridgewater was my team’s messiah, I’d gladly provide as much misinformation as possible to anyone who would print it, if the prospect of his availability to my team was possible but uncertain.
