Dead serious.

 

The NFL has standards. Part of our problem here is the culture is bad. The pledge was the new regime has a grasp on the standards by which each franchise is expected to live up to and must strive to maintain.

 

Any nuance is mere distraction to what the NFL stands for.

 

This is the highest level of professional competition. No excuses are tolerated and back-pedaling away from what knuckleheads are claiming Bridgwater can do are not tolerated either.

 

Bridgewater will be expected to carry the NFL banner from day one. You can not trash a quarterback for what he can't do and do the same thing. Anyone dumb enough to place all the chips on a quarterback deserves to die by the same sword they swing at others.

 

If he is not capable of leading a team to the playoffs right way regardless of who the back-up is, he doesn't belong at the top of the draft.
