How do we know that Parcells didn't like Flacco? Did he have a chance to draft him? IIRC Flacco went in the 1st. round and Henne in the 2nd.???? It's true Newsome had a chance to draft either.
After reading the article about DeBurg teaching QB's, I think the real question should be if the newly drafted QB's get the coaching/teaching that will help them be a success.
I agree, if Pioli thinks the QB that falls to us is worthy of our pick, I'm more than willing to support him drafting the QB. Why, a top quality QB makes it easier for a team to win and can lead us for the next dozen years. Usually, top draft picks have more talent, which helps him be successful.

Maybe you missed the whole conversation that post was in reference to...
I didn't say anything about Parcells not liking Flacco. I was just pointing out that two of the brightest minds in football liked those 2 QBs who Mecca didn't, and that I would probably trust their judgement over his.
