Joe Flacco

actually this aint hindsight. the guys i like in the draft are the guys i like now

I told you who i want in this coming draft so when we don't take him and take some linebacker dont you dare say ''hindsight'' again

I actually took Lattimore in our forum mock game pretty high (can't remember the pick) and you are correct - he is awesome already and has potential to be historically good.

Not sure who is your guy for next draft - I am all the way on Fitzpatrick train. Funny thing is, if we continue to play like crap, we might just be in the range to take him. Unless he becomes a Brown at #1.

Carr has played very well besides a couple of blown coverages this year. There’s absolutely no reason to put Humph over him right now. But Humph is getting snaps idk why you’re complaining

me pointing out that the young players aren't playing much (which is true) is a complaint? lol oh well

It's hard to feel bad for the guys when they've been surrounded with more than our guy ever has. What kills me is we finally saw a magical connection with Boldin and we trade him away, just like we got rid of Zorn, etc. We don't prioritize the offense around here, ever

oh its much worse than that.
its lack of priority to some extent, but what it is clearly more than anything else is a failure to ascertain/perceive/appreciate why our offense has been underproductive and worse yet Why it has been productive. They literally have no ability to sort things out. As a team our front office is the gang that can't shoot straight.

we could and should fire our head coach. but that's not gonna change the athlete problem or lack of athlete problem as you may choose to put it. the source of the problem is higher up the food chain than harball. now that said if you replace your front office you have to let them hire their own new coach.

once again, they erred horribly in "cutting" boldin, signing flacco and thinkin he could make any receiver good. but even worse was extending flacco when this would have been his final year otherwise. you can't make this stuff up

I'm not sure what the entire context was, but Flacco said, "Sometimes settling for field goals is winning football."

I would never want that mentality from my starting quarterback.

I mean sometimes it is. Sometimes you have to be smart. I have no problem with that.

I'm of the camp that thinks Joe is not elite but not as bad as some are suggesting. He's a tier 2 quarterback who's been in a shitty offensive system and taken a lot of hits and now has had two injury set backs in two years with 5 offensive coordinators in almost as many years.

So while Joe needs to play better, it wouldn't affect the bottom line in most of our losses this year. Still would be 3-4 right now in my eyes even if Joe was playing at his best.

Quarterback is a hard position, and I think Joe is trying to do too much. What I mean is sometimes he's trying to be too careful, sometimes he's trying to be too aggressive, sometimes he's trying to not lose the game... I feel like something his broken in his game mentally from everything that has happened since 2012.

The best thing for the Ravens and Joe and his career might be for Joe to seek a change of scenery, but with the contract he has we are likely stuck with each other for the next 3 years. So instead dwelling on that, the talk should be how to revitalize Joe's game and the offense in general.

I think we can all agree that faults included, we can live with and win many games and be competitive with Joe if he plays like he did from 2009-2014. The worse we played was 8-8 in 2013 with an offense that had less talent than this one yet performed better.

For me, even if that is a true statement, it is not the right mentality to have. Your goal should not be to settle for a field goal, it should be to score a touchdown on every single play.

la la land

tier 2 my asscheek

he's an innacurate, low IQ , statue who has been lucky in certain periods. He's the worst QBR in the league and he's generally been average to below average apart from 2 years out of 10.
