Recommended Posts

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.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
