It's where we've always been with this dude.
My reality @Edgar is that I've never trusted or believed in Flacco from day one. And, neither has my mind changed about him after 10 years of watching and witnessing his performances over the years. Sure, thanks for the Super Bowl run in 2012 Joe the reality is that I can also thank Boldin, Rice, Pitta, Torrey, Jacoby, Ray, Ed, Webb, Suggs, Ngata, and Jimmy Smith etc. It wasn't just Joe that produced that SB. But other than that what else has Joe done for us to celebrate him?
We keep having the same ole conversations about him year after year after year for 10 seasons now. Let's just cut to the chase-He is trash! He has "moments" or "flashes" of being a good QB. But after 10 years.....10 years of being the "starting" QB for the Ravens....should he still be having "moments" or "flashes" of being a good QB or....SHOULD HE BE....a good QB and a damn good one by now?
Well, we differ in that I was a Flacco apologist until fairly recently.
I've never believed Flacco works hard enough off the field....In this regard he has not fulfilled his end of the bargain in terms of the owners expectation that he would lead this team.
Not in a rah rahi-sh manner mind you but I'm certain it was anticipated he would study film, organize off season workouts, and generally out work everyone else. In this way he was expected to lead. He hasn't and I'm not sure he cares to.
If he works as hard to be great and still doesn't measure up, at least then we can say that it isn't for lack of effort, commitment and perseverance.
If you can't set an example as to what sort of work and study goes into being great or exemplify a desire to be great AND your on field productivity is unworthy, why on earth wound anyone follow?
In this way, most of all he has let down the organization.
