Joe Flacco

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.

I think it's time we recognize that Joe Flacco will never reach his full potential without having at least a couple of consistently dependable pass catchers on the team. To quote Louisa May Alcott, "It takes two flints to make a fire".

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.

All this talk about knowing who Joe really is. Seriously, shouldn't the team know? I mean it has been 10 years! No matter how good you think he is or isn't, the Ravens should have provided him with everything he needed to succeed. He was huge investment. And they did not. It is sad really.

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.

Let's be very clear. This is the first time Flacco has ever stacked good games in the regular season. @arnie_uk Flacco still missed open guys and Torrey easily should have gone for 3-4 tds if the ball is thrown better. People wonder why the team isn't built around Flacco, but when has he shown the consistency to really invest? With that said, the goal should be building the best roster possible which would included weapons on offense. It seems like they've tried and failed. It's actually becoming comical.

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.

Time to recognize? With all due respect Tank, anyone who hasn't recognized this yet is clearly lost. One of these pass-catchers MUST be a TE because Maxx and Boyle aren't doing enough tbh. They're just.......slow lol.

Tank still has a crush on joejoe. I know, been there, done that.

Same exact reason why i like baker. He is just competitive as shit and wanna be great.

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.
