What's Up with the Baltimore Blowfest?
-
As I watched Mike Mayock's FAVORITE QB (he didn't have the balls to put first on his Top 5 QB list) get drafted, I saw a lot of truth swept under the rug to sweeten the story. The NFL Channel reported all the way up to the draft that Lamar's agent (who is also his mom) wasn't answering/returning calls from several teams that wanted to invite him for a visit. If that wasn't troublesome enough - there's the part where he still needs his mom who has zero experience as a player agent reading NFL contract jargon. I'd like to be the fly on the wall when they have to explain to Momma Jack why the goofey looking white QB her son needs to upgrade will be making way more money than her son. Judging by the trend on the phone - she already has trust issues so it's a good thing a GM of the same race has do the splainin.
Anyway, it felt like the ONLY angle the NFL Channel wanted on draft night was Baltimore GM Ozzie Newsome was the only person interested in this poor kid all other teams just didn't want to bring in to play QB. If they slipped it all in during the 5 minutes I took a power dump - my bad. After Ozzie drafted someone else at #30 the NFL Channel is showing the frustrated prospect only lacking the 70s lyrics and sound of Bonnie Tyler's "I need a hero." Just 2 picks later (the final pick of the 1st round/1st night) here comes the NFL Channel's version of Lancelot (Ozzie) trading up just in time for Jackson to be a 1st round draft pick. Baltimore was now the only NFL team wasn't going to stereotype Jackson out of his life-long dream as the the 1 GM that will be retiring after the 2018 season anyway made it happen. Then again, I'm guessing the competitor at ESPN hosted by rabid Ratbird fan Mel Kiper wanted the same happily ever after closing to the 1st round. That might have gotten creepier than Ghoolie standing naked in front of his Terry Bradshaw poster and Big Ben Fathead...
And 1 night later - how about the refreshing new way to view Orlando Brown after he got shamed right out of Indy with the narrative escort of the media source covering it? If we would have taken him - it would have been "did anyone in Cleveland see that kid's combine? He's definitely NOT his dad especially in his willingness to work at it in the offseason!" Since Ozzie took him - not only is he a steal but what a wonderful story! Only now is it appropriate to remind people that the levers of a 6'8" man won't ever be favorable on the bench press; so make sure you count film way more in this one. If memory serves me right, didn't Baker Mayfield already clarify Orlando Brown never gave up a sack in his interview at the Combines? His skill set isn't all that similar to his dad's though. His dad was a powerful RT that was an ideal run blocker the first time he was here. We took a lot of teams like the Cowboys and Eagles by surprise when we pounded Leroy Hoard right through the strength of their playoff contending/star studded fronts in route to an 11-5 season. BNI reported when Zeus was about to put 800 lbs on his upper back to the chorus of cheers from teammates - Belichick came in and shut it down telling him he didn't need to prove what was already obvious.

Downhill from here for them

He won the heisman.. but surely the only reason he was drafted was his race.

Who said Ozzie was overrated?
Maybe the guy I quoted on my post?
You know ,the kind of guy who labels as "overrated" a GM that got 2 SB rings in 10 years and constant playoff appearances with the different rosters he had to arrange during that tenure.

Alright quick trigger - I already retracted my reply to you while you were prolly replying. Believe it or not, I DID notice just in time or so I thought.
Am I all alone with the heebeegeebees the NFL Channel was making out of the Lamar Jackson at #32?

Come on Gips with the echo. Give the guy a break for hating the Division Rival. There was a time our fanbase hung together with ball-busting the enemy at all costs. Loved Ozzie when he was here and I'm willing to adore him again the day he leaves the Rathouse.
