So let me throw that back at you with a more meaningful scenario: would you rather listen to the opinion of an award-winning 32 year old beat writer who has access to OTAs, coaches, and players or a 60 year old adult who opines based on what they read in sports mags and sees on TV?
No one is perfect...no writer, no cop, no doctor, no coach, no player ... but you have to give Jourdan credit for being smart, informed, and the fact she bases her opinions on real things. People can disagree with her opinions but there is zero doubt that she is dedicated and generously curious about football. It's a passion for her, you can tell. I have to admit I said negative things about her at first, but she's proved me wrong pretty quickly.
My only criticism of her is in the podcast she's not the best communicator in terms of speaking...she a brilliant writer but you can tell her mind works at 100 MPH because she's trying to get so much info out fast that it can get bumpy. But that is a nitpick, not all writers are great speakers. And I bet if she had a prepared speech she'd be great.
I have read a lot of people over the years---from all teams, national, she's elite. Maybe not the absolute best but she's extremely advanced no matter her age. She knows so much football it is incredible. Rams fans lucky to have her.
