I would. He's leading the AFC in pasising and is # 2 in the NFL. You can build aroubd him no doubt.

Reerun_KC 09-24-2012 12:46 PM

You guys can have Flacco, that is fine, I will take a pass and go in a different direction.

Doesnt make me right or wrong. But I know for a fact that he would of already been crucified here 100 times before now.

Black Bob 09-24-2012 12:46 PM

Flacco was from Delaware. No one in their right mind was going to take him at #5.

ILChief 09-24-2012 12:46 PM

I probably said no then, now I would say yes. While not top tier like Rodgers or Brees, he is definitely better than casshole

You can't win on the road without good defense. You cant win a championship without good defense, either.

Eli is the man, but the defense is the key to real success.

Hell, the Chiefs won yesterday because of defense and the kicker.

fail

defenses certainly still do win championships. It's the main reason why the Patriots couldn't close the deal in their last 2 Superbowls. Pretty much every Superbowl champion over the past 15 years has had a stellar defense. But they've also had a stellar QB too. You need both.

But ya, this is proof that CP knows jack shit about drafting QB's.

You guys say stuff like "we better ****ing not draft Tannehill" Well we couldn't have, but he's looking okay. You all said Flacco sucks, this thread is proof but he's looking pretty legit and has playoff wins and they really should have went to the Superbowl last year because of Flacco. Remember that horrible dropped TD pass that a perfect throw? and also the missed field goal? Yeah, Flacco is capable of helping a team get to the Superbowl but it's mostly the defense.

Matt Ryan sucks too
You were right about Sanchez, he sucks

but if we don't ever take a chance, we're never going to get anywhere.

Tannehill's "looking okay"? Is this the same Tannehill who completed 52% of his passes with one touchdown and four INTs for a QB rating in the fifties (dead last in the NFL) over the first three weeks?

well the Giants d did hold the record breaking Patriots to 14 points in their first meeting. I remember the defense attacking Tom Brady and is a huge reason why they won. Same with last years Superbowl. They held the high scoring Patriots to 17 points. Again, pretty damn good.

A defensive play pretty much won the game for the Saints a few years ago and again, the high scoring Colts were held to 17 points.

When the Steelers beat the Cardinals, their defense dominated the Cardinals until the 4th quarter which by that point it was too late.


I don't give a shit what their regular season rankings were. I watched these Superbowls and the winning teams had great defensive play. Raging because someone says that you need defense AND a QB just makes you look ****ing stupid dude.

You stated that I "failed" because I said defense doesn't win championships anymore. If that's the case, why have recent Super Bowl winners had defenses in the bottom third of the league? Hell, the Packers were 31st!

Chiefaholic 09-24-2012 03:57 PM

Looks like Dane is back to his old self again....

To win today you need BOTH a franchise quarterback AND a solid defense. Look at the Pack last year or the Chiefs during the Green / Holmes era. Both teams scored points on damn near every drive. However, neither team could stop the opponent either. Both the Pack of last year and the Chiefs of the Vermeil era were exploited in the playoffs when they had to play a team with a legitimate defense. Who gives a rats ass if you can score 35 points a game when the opponent scores 40? Had the Saints had a defense yesterday, they would have trounced the Chiefs.

Skyy God 09-24-2012 04:01 PM

This has shaped up to be as lopsided as whether you should stick your d**k in a car door or supermodel.

Ming the Merciless 09-24-2012 04:02 PM

Looking back on it , Sure.....it wouldve been a viable way to go...

But its not like a 2nd round pick was way too much for a shot at a QB....They swung the bat on Cassel, and missed...

I wasn't here for the draft that season but was there THAT many people saying we should get Flacco? I don't feel like searching the forum..LOL....

Would probably be better off with Flacco than Cassel at this point , I will say...although I dunno if I wouldve thought that a couple seasons ago...


edit: AND, I don't know if he is a franchise caliber guy STILL....isn't he more of a game manager/defense/run offense type of system QB?

Wrong. The Cardinals of 2008 had the 31st ranked defense and were two minutes from a Super Bowl victory. The Packers had the 31st ranked defense and won the Super Bowl. The Giants and Pats were ranked in the bottom five last year and the Giants won the Super Bowl.

The old adage that "Defense wins Championships" no longer applies. The rules have been changed over the past ten years to where it's required that you have a Franchise QB or stay home.

Having a great defense means absolutely nothing if you don't have a Franchise QB.

Oh lawdy is OP a profit? At the time, Dorsey seemed to make perfect sense. He was regarded as being the best player in that draft. But it was pretty damn obvious we needed a QB since Trent Green.

I also feel Dorsey is being misused in a 3-4. His play is much better suited for a 4-3 style of defense.

Look at the thread creation date. Alot of Us knew back then it was a mistake to pass on a QB.

Well, except for you didn't really say anything back when you started this thread. You didn't at all say that it was a mistake to pass on Flacco.

Solid reminder that a QB with a lot of natural talent can still take a few years to reach his full potential. Doesn't mean he has to suck early, as Flacco clearly wasn't "bad," but he has been an ascending player for some time.

In his prime now, though.

It is. I think the same is true of Matt Ryan. I wouldn't close the book on him yet either. As long as they can keep Ryan/White/Jones together they are going to be dangerous.

Honestly, another guy is Andy Dalton. He's gotten ripped on here the last couple years for choking in the playoffs... but he's gotten them there in a brutal division his first two years.

We could have had both. We used the pick we got from the Jarrad Allen fiasco that Carl created to take Branden Albert at 15 and the Ravens took Flacco at 18. So we screwed the pooch twice. This is what teams do when they are afraid to draft a QB. They watch other teams go to the Super Bowl.
