Florio, to name one, has many more years of experience than Jourdan Rodrique.
For the years I've read him, he has spent most of them repeating yesterday. New ingredients, same old pot to keep stirring and stirring. I could name others but Florio makes my point.
She's not a Peter King or Rich Eisen or Bucky Brooks - she's a beat reporter, young in the trade, assigned to a team by her publisher. Same sort of job, say, that Bernie Micklatz held in St. Louis.
Who, assigned to the Rams today, is doing a better job? Carmen DiSilva?
Jourdan moves ahead - studies the game, learns, is attentive, gets to know the players and her sources on the staff, brings a measure of personal integrity to her work (I don't see snide innuendoes from her,) continually sharpens her prose style, tries to bring relevant information to her readers - like it's her job or something.
As she continues to grow in the profession she'll be noticed - and move on to bigger opportunities. Then we'll wish we had her back.
