In my opinion it would be a mistake to extend Joe to free up more cap space now. All that does is push the problem to another season, which we do too often. I would prefer the Ravens to draft a quarterback in the first four rounds this year. We need a backup and this would be an economical way to obtain one. Hopefully that quarterback could sit and learn the system in 2018 and be an option going forward. Joe’s salary for 2019 is $ 18,500,000, for 2020 it is $ 20,250,000 and $ 24,250, 000 for 2021. I am not looking to get rid of Flacco. He is a good quarterback but I would prefer to have an option in case we need it.
What? Yes I’m talking to you? Do you need me to speak slower for you? Do you need me to read it to you? What the hell are you saying? Are you’ve trying to tell me the Eagles’ QBs didn’t have an insane amount of weapons this year? What are you smoking? The Eagles are literally one of the teams that you 100% cannot say that the QB did it on his own. There’s a reason they won the super bowl. There’s a reason Nick Foles was able to play so well. How many brain cells do you have?
And our defense has given up quite a last minute touchdowns after Flacco got a late lead. Besides, the point was that even great qbs can't overcome major issues on their team.
No receivers that failed in Baltimore went anywhere else to improve with other QBs, in fact most just faded away to the couch.
Brilliant response
Right, and right. And you are making assumptions as well. Difference being that the assumptions being made that Joe’s play would improve and be consistent with better receivers is backed up by the fact that Joe did perform well and was consistent, historically consistent, when he had half decent guys consistently making plays. For me assuming that he would remain inconsistent has no basis in fact as he’s never had what other QBs have, so how would one know? But again you are right, this discussion is pointless as it has been going on for years without change. lol
