I've said in the past that the best way to improve the offense is by Flacco reducing significant amount of his salary. Not an extension but reduce his salary so that we can bring in playmakers and depth around him. That is the way to help the team.
Our record in the past 4 years since Flacco contract is less than .500. That is a huge difference compare to what we achieved with Flacco @ rookie contract. The way I see it, we need to evaluate all the players in our roster. If they do not exceed the performance of their contract, it needs to be readjusted. Just b/c he is a QB should not be an excuse to have him hold this team hostage.
He is a 10th year QB. He is what he is now. There is no 'grooming' for Flacco. If not, Flacco must somehow miraculously go "drew brees" @ his 10th season to improve himself, that is the only solution to turning around the offense around.
Either you can bring in playmakers that offset Flacco skills to turn the offense or he can find a way to build rapport with players @ draft. So far, Flacco has proven he can build chemistry with polished veteran receivers. New drafts? No. Maxx, Crockett, Breshad, Chris Moore, or any drafted receiver since 2014 has not built any rapport with Flacco.
