Plenty of great receivers like Mike Evans, Brandon Marshall, and Demaryius Thomas have hands problems of their own and that hasn't stop them from being great at what they do. I think hands are a thing he has to improve on but its not whats going to restrict him from being great.
Ball machine will fix the hands' problem for sure, but it's mental part of the game which really lingers his progress. If he can get over that hump, he can be great....

I have said I don't blame the loss on Matt Ryan and I'm sticking to my guns on that point. It is amusing though to read so many posts by the Flacco haters and critics who would have blamed Joe for not calling an audible if he didn't like the play call(s). I can't count the number of times some of our loyal fanbase bashed Joe for not calling an audible in similar situations this year but he wasn't given a pass like they gave Matman in this thread. If I remember correctly, the complaint several of Joe's most ardent critics used was ---- a veteran, Franchise QB should be able to veto the OC's play call if he thinks its not going to work. Didn't MattVP come into the NFL the same year as Joe? So, I guess he should have audibled out of the pass plays that were called and run the ball since he's a veteran, Franchise QB. Gimme a break! OR at least be consistent with your critique of Joe's on the field decision-making. In the real world, calling audibles doesn't work like your Madden football computer game. There's a word called insubordination. This story was all about a young OC who wanted to put his foot on the throat of the Patriots instead of just beating them so as to make a bigger name for himself before he departed to run the WCO in SF.
I would love to hear what all the Flacco critics would be sayin 'bout the collapse if Joe had been at the helm instead of the Ice Man. I got news for them. The Ice Man is right here in Ballmer and his name is Joe Flacco. Joe's a Super Bowl MVP; Matt is a league MVP. I'll take the former anyday, all day!
If you re watch the SB2013, when we were down by 2pts and we badly needed a first down to keep the momentum and get a FG a least; it was 3rd and 2 and it's a run call.. Joe audibled out and called a back shoulder pass to Boldin to right side when he was one on one. He made the throw and the rest was history....
I think Ray will succeed in media business than coaching, but if he wants to try out coaching, I think we have position for him to try it out....
PS: Football instinct can't be taught, so Ray can't really teach them with something that you either have it or don't..
dude, it's offseason so chill...Ryan Mink just posts something to entertain us...real stuffs will happen after the draft and preseason.....
In hindsight, it is a very bad idea to take Ryan; however, Ryan was top pick in 2008 and I don't blame the Ravens went hard on him that time. We didn't know Joe turns out to be a playoff machine and season mediocre and Ryan went the opposite way.
Ryan has been choking all his career and SB performance is no difference....
Joe is playing well under pressure but atrocious when there is no urgency....
We should have a much better O-line this year and we will do well offensively in September.....

Super Bowl 51 had an overnight rating of 48.8, down slightly from Super Bowl 50's rating of 49.0. It also was a decline from the Patriots win over Seattle in Super Bowl 49 which drew a 49.7 rating. So a three year decline in the Super Bowl ratings currently.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/02/06/overnight-ratings-for-super-bowl-li-down-slightly/
if the Falcons didn't choke in the second half, the rating should top 49.7; most fans turned off the TV when Matty Ice took the sack and lost the most important FG attempt....

Rings:
Flacco:1
Ryan:0
Matt Ryan's Number is 2, Joe Flacco's number is 5. If you put two and five next to each other the number 25 is created. Joe Flacco has 1 super bowl ring. 25*1 is STILL 25....
The Falcons blew a 25 point lead. Never forget.
lol....good one...

rewatch SB 2013 for thousand times.....

Ryan had a much better season, but Flacco still has a ring and he doesn't. And to be frank, the "Falcons blew a 25 point lead" jokes are going to be awesome
I never once thought the game was over when the Falcons lead by 3 TDs; I had a feeling it's a setup for the Pats to make the first team to ever come back and win with 3TD deficit in SB history...
well it's over....damn NE win SB again..
wow when you lead by 3 TDs, why don't u chew up some clocks??
That was horrible playcalling....super aggressive...
name one CB that shuts down Megatron?
hint hint /shrug...
I hardly watch any of the NFL shows on NFL network or ESPN; with Smith Smith Sr on the show, I might watch couple takes to feel him out. If Steve can bring the fires, feisty, and energy that he had on the football field and convert them onto the NFL show, it will be most excited NFL show to watch for long time.
Steve don't BS, he will keep it real.....

lol yeah especially, on first and goal and we have to go for it on 4th down; it's like another 15min with short timeout. That would hold the line out of the entrance....
17 hours ago, jaege said:Shame they aren't upgrading the coaching staff. A shiny stadium doesn't make a winning team.
Well Steve believes in Harbs leading the team in 2017, so our fans should respect that...
So you want our owner acting like SD and Rams owners who refused to upgrade their stadium and ended up going to their neighbor and sharing their backyard?
You want our PLS owners and fans who are paying tickets to the game sitting in old stadium without perks and conveniences? when other team continue to upgrade their stadium to accommodate fans' interests?
PS: don't take things for granted.....look around the league and see how lucky we are to have Steve as an own who cares about the Ravens nation and the fans....
40 minutes ago, JO_75 said:Only the Browns would be stupid enough to fall for a Patriot system QB. Reports say the Browns may trade for Jimmy Garoppolo in the offseason.
so the Browns are continuously giving away tops picks to NE in return with average players, and in the meanwhile the NE keep rebuilding their competitive team year in and year out. Thanks to the Browns or some kind of conspiracy theory going on.....
Most of Jimmy's injuries were extremely and outright bad luck; that was just unfortunate for him....
I believe bad luck will go away and Jimmy will be back to healthy full season.....
PS: He is top 5 CB in the league and #1 most important defensive player when on the field....
It's funny that his end of the year press conference is the one that I'm most excited about.......
As long as Ravens nation have him, we are always and always in good hands....
I hope the Falcons don't choke, especially Matty ice cuz the Pats come in with lots of SB experiences.....
I hope the Falcons stay calm and the play game cuz if they don't, by the time they settle down, it's already over....
JIMMY SMITH....
we better draft or trade to get a another shut down corner!....
This dude is golden from left to right; the best on the field and the best off the field, a rare breed in a bunch....
Yanda will be HOF and no one around the league ever doubt that....
15 hours ago, JO_75 said:They just hired him last year....
JJ Watt and DeAndre Hopkins for 6th and 7th Round picks. I mean their GM is dumb enough to give Osweiler $72M so we could fool him easily to thinking it's a great trade.
wouldn't be surprised if this ever happens.....
He wants Julio Jones type of money like 70 mil 5yr, which is ridiculous amount of money when he is not even on the same level of Julio; nobody in league on the same level of Julio as well.
If Ben retires, Steelers will trade AB away......

don't remember but he asked whole lot more than we can offer and seemingly the Browns don't want to trade anything within the division, especially with the bitter Ravens....
