With the 13th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select:

Joe Flacco.

With the 19th pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select:

Chris Johnson.

Discuss.

Don't know what dropoff there would be without Otah for run/pass blocking.

I can say what the Huddle would say about Flacco after yesterday's game, though (these are taken from the Ravens board):

Absolutely no excuse for this guy. I'm so sick of hearing about how strong his arm is, yet he constantly underthrows recivers week after week. He's become a cancer to us.
Only a sophomore slump. Calm down guys.
Ridiculous play out of flacco downright maddening I love the ravens but this is one lackadaisical team on offense seem to lack a sense of urgency flacco play in the clutch was horrible
Its only his second year. Joe will learn from this performance.
I want Kyle Boller back. Laugh all you want, but I think he'd be better. He never got a chance with this new offense. Don't even bring up the Rams, they are a qb cemetary, no matter who you put in.
Pack it up for the season Flacco you ****!!!!!!
Look people, the offense had a horrible night and Flacco had one of his worst games of his career and you can't say that this loss shouldn't fall on the young QB's shoulders but some of the crap that has been saids about Flacco tonight just is wrong and really doesn't belong here.

all we'd really lose is the run blocking. Otah is an average pass blocker

Well, the Ravens are paying a steep price for Flacco's 'sophomore blues' this year. But at least he has the opportunity to HAVE the sophomore blues, because on this team, he probably wouldn't get a look at! And given how Jake has never learned how to look his receivers off, why would anyone think that our current crop of coaches could develop Flacco, or anyone else for that matter?

Why would you want to take away our draft history, Stewart and Otah are beasts and make double trouble what it is today. We are lucky to have two excellent backs who compliment each other great(Stewart is the big bruiser and Dwill is the speedy one) and a good run blocking o-line.

makes no sense to me

Because it is really easy to look back and say "Oh,they should have done this or that." and it makes people feel smart. When in all reality just about everyone would have freaked the fug out if we would have taken Flacco 13th overall.

Yeah, he has panned out but the general consensus was that Flacco might go low 1st most likely high 2nd and the only reason he would go that high was the class was weak. He was thought of as a project by most. Tall kid with the big arm who played DII ball.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
