I absolutely don’t think he makes it to us, which will push another talented player down the draft.
Im saying as in i like cockiness. Best pros in the world are often cocky/arrogant

Joe Joe is 33 years old. It's not about potential any longer, now it's about lost opportunity.
Joe Joe peaked in 2012. One glorious year as the man.
If JoeJoe was a woman, you'd say he was a "high maintenance" gal. JoeJoe needs good receivers, a good offensive line, a damn fine running game, a helluva big play defense and a great kicker. High Maintenance.
That's part true. Ozze has not given JoeJoe near the best makeup. Joejoe is having to compete with the pretty girls using tomato paste as rouge.
Joejoe is what he is. He's not changing. Not as this point. Heck some have know this for over 4 years. Turn out the lights, the party is over.
Tank still has a crush on joejoe. I know, been there, done that.
I don't like Baker's non scripted playmaking ability. Don't want him.

Tell me how great Ryan looks tonight behind that line or tomorrow tell me how Keenum transformed from scrub to 20m dollar QB with just an upgrade in talent around him.
There is 1 Rodgers. The other 31 QBs in the NFL all need an OLine and weapons to win. Some like Brady need the line more and some like Wilson need the weapons more but if you have a bad OLine and bad weapons your O will fail.
Joe got a good OLine and awful weapons for the last half of year and looked great, but you can't overcome 9 drops in a game.

The only part I disagree about this is Rodgers. As great as he is, he too needs an o-line and weapons around him to truly prosper.

Guys Joe isn't a very good QB. He is an alright one that can get hot in stretches. The 2012 playoff run was one such stretch and couldn't have come at a better time for him for monetary reasons and for the Ravens for title reasons. Beyond that he ranges between atrocious to passable the rest of the way with a good game every 7-8 games or so. That is pathetic for a QB that so much money was invested into.

He also did very well in the second half of this season despite not having much to work with. And did very well in 2014. And he had a really good season in 2010. Plus he's had amazing passes in the playoffs with the game on the line pretty regularly (though half the time the receiver ends up dropping them and costing us the game).
It's almost like when he's healthy, gets a bit of chemistry with his guys, has a decent o-line, and the OC is aggressive, he performs pretty well. Also investing a ton of money in a QB, but then having a different OC every season (or twice a season), continually trying to use subpar receivers, and a patchwork o-line is a recipe for disaster with any QB.

The last time flacco looked great in a play off road game against a top defense based on your way of ranking things was in 2012.
Had flacco played like ryan did last night against the play offs teams we faced this season , we might have made the play offs.
Stay humble....

2012? Are you completely forgetting the 2014 NFL playoffs? 259 yards and 2 TDs against the Steelers, and then he gave us a 14 point lead twice against the Patriots in Gilette Stadium only for the defense to blow it.

Neither where a top 10 defense in terms of yardage.
Yardage is what adreme uses to rank defenses.
Pats where #13 and Steelers where #18 in 2014
Eagles are #4 this season.
Last time flacco did great against top defenses in the play offs was in 2012.
top to me is 1-5 for the record.
So i did not forget 2014 and actually looked it up.
I’m confused - not sure how Ryan losing last night indicates we would have won more against good teams - that falcons loss looks a lot like the ravens games from this year - tight loss to a backup qb
That argument you’re making is completely asinine

flacco played horrible against the play off teams we faced this season.
had he played better we could have won.
nothing to be confused about.

If he wasn’t hurt for half the season we would be in the playoffs.
