Let’s just hope he ends up playing more like Sonny Jurgensen than Ginger or Opie Taylor.

So was it the coach of the Bills, Panthers, Browns or Bengals that made this silly observation? It is not hard to tell such an assessment came from the coach of any kind of successful franchise.

Perfectly reasonable thought.
And while we’re at it, lets fire all balding, fat NFL coaches on that basis.

LOL!! These coaches are toying with the media now, and you idiots are falling for it.

Why should Warren Moon be called for what is likely white on white racism?

You guys are idiots.

I know what he’s lacking. It’s what all gingers are lacking. A soul. Gingers have no soul.

This:

“It has been proven that redheads have a genetically lower threshold for pain.”

has been shown false (but it was just Mythbusters, so take it for what it’s worth)

Natural redheads have a lower pain tolerance than people of other hair colors.

BUSTED

The test was to put one hand in an ice bath at 1°C for as long as subjexts could endure. Two dozen people of each group (redheads and non-redheads) took part. The average time for the redheads was 132.2 seconds, while that for the non-redheads was 79.1 seconds.

Fran Tarkenton? I remember watching him play and I remember watching him on That’s Incredible, but it’s been a long time. My hair was red back then too.

As I recall, Ginger!Cartman led the Gingers to kidnap every other youngster in town. He also rented the auditorium, arranged the catering, talked the Gingers into a mass sacrifice, THEN talked them out of it. Sounds like someone you’d want running the show.

Had to be Sparano. But Jeff Ireland might have been the first to wonder about it out loud.

Dalton’s Agent, One Alfred E. Nueman, released a statement that this news regarding hair color should not affect his draft status. He has been working hard with his strength and conditioning coach , Howdy Doody, who claims Dalton has increased his rapid one arm pullups to 50 reps per minute.

1) Bloody ridiculous
2) When he gets as old as I am it’ll be gray anyway.
3) Would Warren Moon call this racism?

Your right coach, it sounds idiotic. And if I were the owner of the team, you’d be fired because I wouldn’t want an idiot on my coaching staff.

Red heads are also worse at hosting late night TV shows compared to people with big chins.

Archie Manning had red hair. He was a pretty good QB and sired two Super Bowl winners. Maybe the coach should just draft the guy and put him out for stud.

This is without a doubt the dumbest thing I’ve heard in this draft year. It’s right up there with the reporter that asked Doug Williams at the Super Bowl – “How long have you been a black Quarterback?”
