WHAT'S THIS STORY I HEARD ABOUT TCU'S DALTON?

by Cutie on Apr 23, 2011 8:36 AM EDT

I'm in the NYC area and I was listening to WOR Talk Radio and I heard the host Joe Barlett talk about a story that he found to be very strange. It seems that Andy Dalton has been interviewed by 21 teams and Barlett said that MANY of them will not draft him because of Dalton's red hair (so what? He's Irish). But Barlett said that these teams are worried about his fiery attitude and his temper.

Barlett did not mention a website. I'm busy looking throughout newspapers (sites) to find anything. Has anyone heard this? He was really upset about this. While Dalton may not possess all the physical tools of an elite QB, he is intelligent and has a good arm; he has the built (6-2, 215) and he's mobile.

While this is NOT a vote for him, I'm just wondering where I could find this information. He is a good player and with proper training, he could excel.

Did anyone hear about this? Thank you.

Just another example of a coach in the NFL that has been hired to a position higher than his IQ is capable of functioning at.

Any idiot who wants to figure the color of someones hair or skin into the equation of whether a prospect is worth picking, he clearly has no idea what he is doing.

I don't care about his hair.

But I disagree with your evaluation. He might be intelligent but played in a simple one-read passing system and will need significant adjustment to a pro style offense. He doesn’t have a particularly good arm and 6’2" 215 is bordering on small for a QB.

Aaron Curry was a bust the moment he took the field.

I agree with these nfl teams. Who would want a ginger to be their face of the franchise? not me, if the phins draft him (like king says in Sports Illustrated) Im gonna e-mail Ireland the link to the ginger episode from south park
