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.

    • Think the "official time" put out was 4.48, but there were a lot of scouts there who of course all had difference times as it's all handed timed by them.  Think I saw it as low as 4.43 and as high as 4.62 or something, but in the end it's all basically the same speed because 40 yard dash is so pointless. Anyone who complains about his speed is just someone who wants a Chase/Jefferson/Nabers style #1 as opposed to an Evans style #1 who isn't going to beat you because of his speed but his other abilities. In the end, he's fast enough for a player his size and surprisingly quicker and more agile than people give him credit for too. The real problem is that Panthers fans can't get our past big WR failures out of their head, they hear "big WR" and automatically see a plodding KB or Jarrett in their minds and assume that's also T-Mac.
    • If you are buying Silver Club, 300 level, try and the buy ones that have the Lot 1 parking pass.  it is steps to the stadium Also, buy on the shade side my PSls used to be section 342, under the overhang.  I didnt care about sun or rain plenty of sites have interactive  maps that can show you   Just know, if they are opposite side of 342, the sun will beat on your head…endzones too.   if, you know for sure that you are going, and you need a hotel room, do it now  you can always cancel … remember, even if the panthers suck,  the national press follows them as do their fans.  Hotel rooms go fast for that game 
    • didn't he run like a 4.52?
