Flacco Impressive at All-Star Challenge

The one big question mark against Joe Flacco, QB out of Delaware and possible Bears target, is how he stacks up against the big dogs. While not the most scientific means, he showed well at the College Football All-Star Challenge.

The participants were Joe Flacco, Chad Henne, Colt Brennan, Matt Ryan and John David Booty.

In the Accuracy Competition he finished third behind Brannan and I believe Matt Ryan.

He was favored and won handily the Strong Arm competition with throws of 71 and 74. Chad Henne finished second with a 67 yarder.

Flacco surprised many by also winning the QB scramble competition.

better than I thought...

I admit to being extremely skeptical about this kid since a lot of people tend to fall in love with the "undiscovered small school" players right about now. However, after watching him in this thing he certainly has all the skills of all these other QBs. I think the best comment made during the whole thing was a comparison of Flacco to Rothlisburger. It seemed pretty much dead on.

Also Mike Hart looked really impressive in the RB challenge. And since we are not going to spend the 1st pick on a RB... OT, Flacco, Hart would be a great way to go the first 3 rounds.

They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way!
