Buzz about Baltimore Raven's new QB, Joe Flacco

Here is whats being said about Joe Flacco around the web:

Sporting News:
The Baltimore Ravens' bold move to get Joe Flacco with the 18th pick in the NFL draft was a risk worth taking. Having a strong arm allows Flacco to make throws other quarterbacks can't. And at 6-6, Flacco is three inches taller than Brohm and four inches taller than Henne. Seeing over oncoming pass rushers will not be a problem for Flacco. Simply put, Flacco has the physical tools to be successful.

Bleacher Report:
Even more than that, McShay saying that the Baltimore Ravens taking Joe Flacco in the first round was a “reach,” angered me to no end. Flacco was the best quarterback in the draft. The only competition Ryan has proven he can beat Flacco in is the one for most generic name. The 6’6”, 230-pound Flacco was underrated and should’ve been taken third overall by the Atlanta Falcons. The Ravens have a gem of a player to end their quarterback woes.

Deadspin:
Flacco's a great young man from a great environment, a guy who got trapped behind Tyler Palko in Pitt but became a I-AA superstar at Delaware. He doesn't have a lot of experience in a pro system and will have to learn to drop from under center. But he's a great athlete who is faster than your average Drew Bledsoe-sized kid. And he's smart enough to learn the Harbaugh-Cameron system.

National Lampoon Splog:
Baltimore needs someone like Joe Flacco. Played for Delaware, All-American guy, tall, sits in the pocket, but can escape if he needs to. Ozzie Newsome is known for making great picks. I hope this keeps the trend.
