You do not, I repeat, you do NOT give a decent young QB bulletin board material. It's like giving Popeye spinach.
Have these clowns not seen this movie before? Do you how many stories exist about great QB's feeding off of comments and events like these for YEARS?
Dan Patrick has a whole segment he does on his show where he'll bring up negative things that were written or said about guys when they were young, and repeats them back to the guy on his show. Almost all of them already have made mental notes and remember the digs. Hell, Drew Brees was given an old one he hadn't never heard before, and he actually asked for the paper Dan Patrick was holding, so he could add it to his collection of things he hangs up in his locker.
S-T-U-P-I-D!. The last thing you want to is to give an already insanely competitive guy like Joe Burrow another reason to work harder, to prove you wrong, or give him more motivation to kick your ass the next time you play.
Even if you think all of the above is overstated (It's not, professional athletes are freaks when it comes to this type of stuff), it such a classless comment. You're an 9-0 a team who just beat a 2-6-1 team with a rookie QB. Can't the win be enough?
It's all pre-draft notes, that's it.
