But please, don't leave. I'd much prefer you answer one of my previous questions -- what is false about those things that you listed as excuses?

There only excuses when people use them as a shield to deflect Joes poor play. They're factual. But they should also stand hand and hand next to joes performance.  But people on this board use them in hopes of no one pointing out flaccos flaws.

Example.

Was the play calling bad? Yes it was. Running should not have been abandoned on Sunday.

BUT 

All season long we've seen plays called and throws made well short of the first down...is that all on Trestman? No. If he calls a play on 3rd and 13 that sends 2-3 receivers past 13 yds but Joe decides he's gonna check it down to his RB or FB for 4 yds..that's on Joe. Of course an OC is gonna give a QB a check down "last resort" option.  Joe is taking that option quite a bit though

And why do having statistical great numbers matter again?

(Hint: i'll use your very own stats against you)

Having great stats doesn't matter ..  We're ravens fans... We've been to the promise land with flacco and dilfer.

But flaccos been playing for a decade. You mean to tell me he can't even accidentally trip and stumble into a good statistical year?

I believe that. I'm glad you at least give him that much, and I'm proud that he was able to give you and the rest of us memories we will always cherish.

But your list?

#1 - 5 are all blatantly false, or in the case of #3, completely out of context, and all of that can be proven beyond reproach. I cannot argue against 6 and 7 though, although I would not say he "constantly" over/under throws those passes.

Wow.

Hey fly,

"just for giggles" ... I know this is a name 5 Qbs etc thread.... But can you name 5 things that you think Joe doesn't do well on the field or needs work on? 

And I swear if you can do that and not spontaneously combust.. I'll walk out of this thread and go post in the perriman thread or something.

And the funny thing is I like Joe flacco..he's a good guy from what I can tell and he helped lead this team to a Superbowl that I will always hold dear to my heart.

But he's just not that good guys. Sorry. From a statistical view and just from his mechanics on the field.

1. He holds the ball too long( despite having a sub par line and coming off an injury)

2. This year and in years past he is extremely inaccurate.

3. Instead of throwing the ball away he'll throw it 3 yds behind the line of scrimmage to RB that wasn't ready.

4.his motions and mechanics after the snap are so so so slow.

5. He's never really used his ability to audible to help get us out of those questionable calls by questionable coordinators 

6. He has a rocket arm but constantly overthrows/under throws on deep balls.

7. He suffers from boneheaditis, where randomly he'll make one of the worst reads or plays of the game.

Its these things I've listed that lead to him statistically never having great numbers...

Its these things I've listed that have gotten 2 OCs fired and another one that was about to

Its these things that have our offense looking like the bad news bears.

I really cannot wait to hear what he is so dissatisfied with over the past decade. 

How about our offense looking like a pee wee football team and the one guy who has control of that offense on the field seems to get his back rubbed by you homers on this board for 10 years. He's a big boy he won't read this and jump off a bridge. Outside of a 3 game playoff strecth...He's been wildly AVERAGE for ALL of his career. 

He's the only person on the offensive side of the field outside of yanda that has been around through this decade of offensive torture.

This board has killed every other part of the offense for 10 years EXCEPT flacco.

 "But but our Wide receivers don't get separation" 

" but but our line is horrible"

" but but its our zone blocking scheme" 

" waa waa fire our offensive coordinators...they gotta be the reason flacco is throwing it 2 yds out when we need 10"

Lol I really think half of you guys are related or in-laws of flacco in some way

I'm sure you could, that's no surprise. You show me 15 QBs you'd rather have playing here in this system with this supporting cast and coaching....and I'll show you 15 wrong answers.

Lol the good ole supporting cast and coaching argument.......

That we've seen for almost a decade on this board...... Man its played out already.

Wanna know the two variables that haven't changed in all the years of these excuses. 

Joe Flacco and John Harbaugh.

Flacco has been bad ( for his contract) and as I have said multiple times, with play like his why not go Ryan Mallett?

You wouldn't be missing much in terms of a passer and he is a much cheaper option.

Wait... let me guess, now its Trestman, O-line, running-game?

STOP!

All these things were in place against a pretty banged up defense in the Redskins, and still the only constant to the mediocre offense is Flacco.

I know you guys love Flacco. I even like him, but at his current figure he is expendable. I would rather lose now with Mallett then to see someone else on our team blamed for his inflated contract.  

Flacco and Harbaugh can kick rocks.

yep

5? That's it?

I can honestly name 15 active qbs right now I'd rather have.

I honestly don't think Trestman makes it to Tuesday... Flacco just used the word of the the last two weeks... "Embarrassing" ...every aspect of the offense minus west and SSS has been embarrassing

If I didn't know football and this game was the first one I sat and watched....I would ask if Flacco was a rookie..

Can we even call it an offense?

Lol @ this offense 

I'm so tired of flacco and this offense....I'm ready for new things. 

This isn't a good team.... And I'm talking about the Ravens 

Oooooooooooo mmmmmmmmm gggggggg

 Bad: Flacco, O-Line, Wright, trestman, Aikan

Good: run defense, J.Smith ,SSS, Tucker

Lol i say this every year but we have not had a consistently good offense since this team was brought to Baltimore. Its been over 20 years. I mean even a broken clock is right twice a day. I don't get it. Smh 

The most frustrating team ever. 

3 things causing Flacco getting hit every play

1. Flacco holding on to ball too long...something he's always done..

2. Line sucks today. 

3. Even tho SS is having a good game its taking him a while to get open...time we don't have. And Aiken isn't getting separation at all.

Flacco taking hits on EVERY play...and is very off today.

Aiken shouldn't be taking anymore of Perrimans time. 

Offensive play calling is horrible. 

Something about Perriman excites and scares me all at the same time 

Cool story

And as much as we would've liked to see RG3. I think McCown will provide better preparation for the next two games against bortles and Carr. Ravens already showed they can operated their gameplan against a QB like Tyrod

Apparently Brownies are weak at the center position. Expect us to take advantage of our interior DL strength and blitz the socks off the A gap. 

Interior DL strength? I wouldn't say anything about our DL is a "strength". I think the Jernigan/Williams combo can get a bit overrated at times but IMO I've yet to see them do anything at a consistent basis

Not to mention this past game where a good portion of the game Tyrod didn't even have a pocket BC it looked liked he had a steel wall in front of him.
