I know Marcellus personally. He'd make over half this board shit their pants if he said these things to them face to face. But he'd never lay a hand on them. Real tough guys don't need to prove it. He's just speaking his mind.

I don't know him personally, but I know he's saying smarter things than his critics are.

Austin nailed it in a thread last night. Battered fan syndrome. That's the only explanation to the irrational shit going around here right now. Just be glad you're not going through that shit. Angry fan is no fun at all.

Are we really comparing Cam Newton to Geno Smith?
JFC, they aren't even close in ability. |

The great thing about this argument is that the answers will all present themselves in due time.

Absolutely. Although I think this is an interesting discussion. This wasn't just a Rodgers or Brady Quinn situation. This was a guy considered by many a top 10 talent at the prime position that almost fell to mid-2nd round. I can't think of too many times that's happened.

by the definitions used on this board regularly, Flacco and Rodgers were risks

Flacco was definitely a risk. But still, those guys were taken in the 1st round because most sane GM's value the QB position highly. Geno fell completely down the board. People are looking at this through the Chiefs' usual prism of fear, but even aside from that, the whole thing is very strange. |

Emotion can blur judgement. I think that the combination of this being the shittiest year for top 5 drafts picks ever along with us not drafting a 1st roud QB in years pushed people a little further into the emotional realm. |

Drew Brees? Too short
Ben Rothlisberger? Small school Joe Flacco? Small school Aaron Rodgers? Tedford Whew, good thing those guys don't text. Then they would be a guaranteed bust. |

IIRC, at the time, Flacco was considered a reach.

I am not a Geno Smith fan, but Flacco being drafted at 18 was a reach at the time.

"You can't judge a draft class until 3 years have passed. Also, GENO SMITH SUCKS HAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA."
