Oops! Not Even The Experts Always Get It Right

[flynismo]

Ran across this over at NFL.com; it's a detailed scouting report on Joe Flacco just after the Draft- [url="http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/joe-flacco?id=382#player-profile-tab-set-1:player-profile-tab-analysis"]Flacco's scouting report[/url]

I mean, wow, were they off the mark or what? Derek Anderson, seriously?? (you'll have to read to understand why I'm babbling about Derek Anderson)

Now this is funny

The trainers will take care of this in the offseason. I've been saying the boy is scrawny!

When I first saw it I giggled a bit.

Ooops.



Hahah. This made me laugh:

Of course we all know who will play him... Keanu Reeves.

I look for Joe to come back after the offseason like 30 pounds bigger. The trainers will definitely put a hurting on him.

The report is actually eerily similar to Ben Roethlisberger's, both talk about marginal mobility and lack of experience behind center (Pro set)

I have to admit ..i hated him at the Rams game...im in the military and i got like 200 dollar seats to watch that game...i wanted to watch troy play and could wait right behind the bench i sat...then flacco comes out im like what the hell? i was pissed...then he sucked ****** taht game...that made me even more pissed..but when they made the decision to make him the QB i was lke i gotta deal with it and he must be the best man for the job..i believe that now...i do think they should use Troy more to in more trick plays he can still throw the hell out of the ball and run

"so what your saying is let the season go and lets wait for joe flacco to develop into a elite QB (this my friend will never happen) i dont think joe has what it takes now or later "

and another

Y not let him continue playing??? Cuz he has 1 td pass and 7 ints this season. Thats enough reason to be pulled......[/quote]
Fun looking back on these and loling


From the article: "Flacco has nowhere near Anderson's mobility" ORLY?

[tctony]

"Slow-footed moving around in the pocket and despite running for nine touchdowns, he is not threat carrying the ball (had success vs. mediocre competition)..."

Ha.

Thank god our scouts aren't that blind!
