But you're telling me they thought drafting a 1-AA QB who couldn't beat out Tyler Palko in college was smart drafting? That Flacco really was the best player available on their big board? That they said, "Hot dog, we'd mud wrestle our own grandmothers for a franchise QB right now, and lookee here. We got the perfect guy of our dreams right here! Yeehaw!"
Bullshit. Bull ****ing shit. The team was in a QB quandry, their offense sucked balls, and they knew they couldn't keep winning with defense alone. Chris Redman failed. Kyle Boller failed. They said, "We've gotta fix this problem. I know we whiffed on those other QBs, but we gotta keep trying. Somehow, we need a real ****ing QB at the head of this team. So let's pull the trigger on Flacco, I guess. Yeah, he's pretty rough for a 1st round pick, but he probably won't be available later. Can't risk it. We need him NOW, so we'll have an experienced guy in the future."
They took a shot. They TRIED. Because they needed a QB. And it paid off.
When we're that desperate for QBs, our balls shrink in so far they shoot out our assholes. We get conservative and go into a shell when we need to stay strong and make bold moves. We trade for Alex Smiths. That's what we do.
Hope it works out.

I realize the whole geno smith thing was big for you this offseason. I get it man.
But taking a guy they don't believe to have the necessary skills to be a franchise qb just to be "bold" and just to try, isn't something these franchises that are successful have done or do.
I respectfully say this because I like you as a poster and mostly agree with things you say, but this post reeks of emotional backlash.
And I do agree about flacco in a sense in that he wasn perfect but they pulled the trigger. Reid an Dorsey have been involved and done the same thing in te past, yet they determined not to do it with Geno.
I also realize what's gone on in the past with qbs here, it sucks. But this front office has shown that they know how to draft qbs in their past. I'll sit back and see it play out before I get upset.
I also will admit that after the past decade or so an with things I've gott going on in my personal life, give me a relevant football team that can win a game in the playoffs and I'll be happy.
I know that's not a great way to feel, but it's what I've gt going on
