Joe Flacco

John just said joe has seen a back specialist a week of rest and he will be good thank god although I do see what you guys are saying about it lingering but I'd imagine with good rest he will be fine

sounding like kap to bmore could happen depending how flacco feels after a week of rest. not sure how i feel about this but i also understand that there isnt anyone else left to bring in. kap does have starting exp. but our offense does not really fit with his skill set but stranger things have happened like brady going to 7 super bowls

Never really understand why kap got so much backlash on his social stance but it dont matter. This is a busniess and if he can help the ravens org be successful than why not take a risk
 
Kaep isnt a good enough player, I dont particularly care about his personal beliefs or how it makes anyone feel the guy is a bad QB.

if there's one potential bonus to all this bad voodoo it's that harbs and ozzie probably get another year's grace while also getting a higher draft pick - pretty hard to fire a coach and gm when their team is destroyed before training camp even really begins

we've lost a starting mlb, starting corner, starting rb, starting tight end, backup tight end, backup/starting centre

we've lost 4 bona fide starters unexpectedly this offseason - in addition to losing our starting rt, centre, wr, 5tech, 3tech, rush lb

this year we essentially are gonna end up with at least 5 starters on offence (wr, te, rt, c, rb) and depending on the formation we use most maybe even 6 new starters given that juice was a starter for us too, and on defence we will have at least 6 new starters on defence (s, cb, mlb, olb, 3t, 5t) and if we are in the nickel then make that 7 new starters

anywhere between 11 and 13 new starters out of 22 players is a lot of turnover and a lot different to 7-9 new starters without the unexpected losses which would have been close to normal turnover on an nfl team

half our starters will likely be new

so if flacco does go down and its 50/50 as much as id hate it id maybe just wrap him up for the year and say you know what maybe we'll have better luck next year

Please no Kapernick, he is terrible. I would rather have Mallet because do you really think we have any chance of winning anything with Kap as the QB, no way!

What are you talking about? We give Flacco the year off and use Kaepernick to intentionally tank the season so we can draft a stud offensive player next year. It's genius

I'd rather stick with Mallett. He's streaky but when he's hot, he's hot. He might be more accurate than Joe, and accuracy means a lot in a WCO.

In the last two years, Kaepernick has won 3 games out of the 19 he started. Mallett won 2 out of 6 he started. Neither should really be getting anyone excited.

Either way Flacco will be the starter even if his back soreness persists for the next couple months. The bigger issue is him losing reps.
 
Hypothetical question for you all.

If Romo wasn't signed to the CBS deal and if it came down to it and we really were looking to sign another QB until Flacco got better, would you give him a shot?

As opposed to winning anything with Mallett?

Not saying we should or shouldn't sign Kaep.

I didn't say we would win with Mallet. I said it isn't worth signing Kap because he won't win. Mallet is already on the team. I wouldn't spend a dime on Kapernick.
