Need proof of the silliness is running wild regarding the 2011 NFL Draft? Here's some for you:

Peter King of Sports Illustrated reports that one NFL team is concerned about TCU quarterback Andy Dalton having red hair.

"Has there ever been a red-headed quarterback in the NFL who's really done well?" a coach asked the media last week. "It sounds idiotic, but is there any way that could be a factor? We've wondered."

Really? Has the ginger meme truly gone so deep that it impacts NFL personnel men? As Rotoworld points out, red head quarterbacks don't have a lush NFL history. They sight Jeff Garcia (who I'd classify as strawberry blond at worst) and Todd Marinovich. Dubious company considering that Garcia was prematurely bald.

Update: As a reader points out, Carson Palmer also has Ronald McDonald locks.

Star-divide

So there you go. Peter King is seriously reporting that an NFL team is worried about the hair color of a quarterback prospect.

The 2011 NFL Draft starts on April 28. That date clearly can't get here soon enough.

Thanks to SidelineScouting.com for pointing out this ridiculousness. Make sure to buy their draft guide. It's only $5 you cheap skate.

If true, that is some ridiculous stuff. Could any team's front office really be that stupid?

However, I have to admit to some serious bias on this issue, as I'm the proud father of a 2 year old ginger (and future QB).

Edit: Careful Teeray. Don't think I can't call up Cam and and borrow his gun!

    • 5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?  
    • yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
    • Are we sure something hasnt happened to him because that seems pretty shitty to simply abandon this place
