That's because he elevates the play of those around him

Fly are you getting the feeling everyone else is leaning towards a Flacco less Raven's team?  We are tired of the excuses.  Harbaugh /Flacco era is nearing a close. Both average at what they actually do. 

Marty is the weakest link on this team.  I'm sorry. He has to go after this year.

It might be time to clean house as far as the coaching staff is concerned.  Harbaugh era is nearing a close.  Not because of the record or the mediocrity year in and year out on offense.  Simply because their are no more excuses that can be realistically justified in the inept play of this offense. The guy has literally hired one coach that seems to know what Flacco can and can't do in (Kubiak). I'm ready for a change.  This team sucks.  We have very good pieces with piss poor leadership. The Next time a Kyle Shanahan comes available.......Take my advice and grab him.  Not only for coordinator but for your head coaching position.  

I think John likes to play the pity card to much.  Tired of watching pressers and we discuss fallen Ravens' before discussing the game. The timing doesn't seem appropriate.  Get me a coach that understands that.

must be nice to literally have one guy run over an entire defense and get 3TDS, not to mention add some receiving yards from the backfield....imagine that

When we loss Ray Rice it killed Flacco's progress.  The real Mvp on offense was RICE.

What a brilliant post! Have you ever watched Pig Pen calling plays in the huddle with the plays taped to his wrist. Now that's dumbing it down for him. After the OC calls in the pay to Pig Pen's headset, he still has to refer to his cheatsheet to call the right play. Against the Patsies, I saw Joe throw two horrendous passes. One was a dying duck to Kamar who was wide open in the right flat. The other was a long pass down the middle that fell way short. Joe's rare reaction to the pass showed his disgust for the way he threw it. How many passes were dropped? Let's see. Dixon dropped a perfect pass in the left flat. Waller let one go thru his hands in the endzone just before Joe hit him with another bullet on the next play. Perriman had one go thru his hands. Normally reliable Mike Wallace dropped two, including the one that went right thru his hands and into the waiting hands of Devin McCourty for an interception. That's 5, right? Hum, that's more than Raymond Berry dropped in his entire career as a Baltimore Colt. Despite the 5 drops and a coverage sack, Joe managed to complete 37 passes, a franchise record. Yeah, let's trade Joe. Maybe we can get RG3 and Out or Johnny Paycheck Manzeil, huh? Get real & get over it!

BTW, Pig Pen just passed My Man Vinny Testaverde on the all-time passing yardage list. So what!!! AND I'll take Vinny or Joe over Pig Pen anytime on anyday anywhere. Last time I saw a Baltimore QB call plays from a cheatsheet on his wrist was Tom Matte against GB. There are only 2 reasons why that happens. Either the plays are so complicated that the QB needs a cheatsheet or he can't remember the plays without a cheatsheet. I'll let you ponder why Pig Pen does it. Golly Geeeeeeeeee Whizzzzzzzzzzzzzz!    

You sound mad that someone would mentioning trading a mediocre QB. WHY?  Joe is as average of a Qb that's in this league right now.  He doesn't bring anything that cant be defended with over the top help, to this team.  Joe is hurting us as much as he is helping.  Thats what makes him average.  If you factor in his inflated contract for his mediocre play, that makes him expendable. 

Truthfully im tired of debating and waiting for him to mature into an above average guy.  We need to cut our ties or we will feed on the bottom of the league for years to come.  But hey if you're satisfied with only beating sub 500 teams then Flacco is your man.

I'M NOT!!!!!  Flacco is pure trash for the money he's getting..   If you think this is laughable, I'll bet no other team in the league wants him at the number.  Not even Cleveland 

I have read through most of these comments.  It seems like we are all arguing the same thing every year.  

We need better personnel on offense.

Flacco needs consistency at OC.  

They run very vanilla plays for Flacco.  This offense has always been predictable. I'm wondering if they dumb it down for him.   

To be truthful, Flacco is  not very good.  When any team sings the Ravens praises they are talking about the defense.  Never have I heard anyone mention this pathetic offense. I'm so tired of mediocrity on that side of the ball. We need to draft a QB this year.  Build up our O-line and hand the ball to Dixon.  

Flacco has proven that he can't carry this team.  Deflate his contract or trade him.  He is not worth his paycheck.  Not even close.

At least Flacco is on pace to finally reach 4000 passing yards this year, if nothing else!

This may be why our record sucks. He's not our guy.

Well, tell you what...first week of the playoffs in my FF league. AJ Green and Julio Jones out with injuries (and had great matchups), Alshon out due to suspension...those are big time points sitting on the bench. Faced a very real possibility of one and done...my boy Flacco came through BIG time. Check out the final score!

 

 

You are the official king at derailing Flacco threads!!!!!!!! smh 

Correa is a bad pick.  He cant even sniff the field.

Taking him that early was no question a mistake.  I knew he would have to sit a few years to develop a AFC north frame.  

He might not ever get there though.

Joe lost this game.

How? 

We haven't' beat a team over 500 all season, and this is a surprise?

We are simply not that good.  Our offense is horrible besides Kenneth Dixon, SSS, Wallace, West, Yanda, Stanley, Perriman, Pitta AND TUCKER.........Other than that they can all be replaced.

Are we really going to keep making excuses for the defense? They had plenty of rest and Elam blew it when it was 23-20 and in reach.

Weddle have over the top coverage in that situation.  He was caught looking into the backfield . 

Eric Weddle had a bad game...........No On Jeff Fisher before the loss. 

Unbelievable, some of the hype on Joe after beating his first team with a winning record all year.

I'm happy for the guy and all but lets not get it confused, it's only Miami, and this was the best he has played all year.

 Minor accomplishment but a win none the less.  Let's just hope he didn't use all his magic against a bad football team.

He puts up nearly a 100 rating and you want him benched?  You just showed yourself as a player-hater.

Maybe if you consider garbage time stats as stats.  The guy doesn't bring much to the position.  Outplayed by a rookie with about the same amount of talent on offense.  Sure, I showed my true colors.  He needs to be benched, then replaced, in that order. 

I'm a player hater and we are 5-5 with a Qb that has not won a game this year against a winning team. Before you talk about how its a team game he has 5 tds against an 0-11 team. Not my idea of a good QB. 

 I'll wear that badge with honor.

I'm being completely serious..........

Its time to start looking for a new starting QB.  Yes....penalties were an issue today.

But the offenses's effectiveness hinges on the play of a sub par QB that cant see the throw. 

Flacco has to be benched for the year.  Playoffs or not.  He is playing terrible ball. 

We can point fingers all we like the coaching staff is even approaching games as if he is a game manger, instead of a multi million dollar, Super- Bowl winning QB. This to me speaks volumes.  They dont expect him to win games against good teams.  They coach him not to lose them. 

I dont want to hear anybody blame the defense or ask why guys are wide open!

It's obvious they are TIRED!  THIS OFFENSE SUCKS!!!! I'm so tired of watching these guys play like this week in and week out. 

Now go ahead and pad Flacco's pathetic stats so it doesn't look that bad.  Week after week we are calling plays for him as if he is a rookie. 

OFFENSIVE OVERHAUL next season. Kenneth Dixon, West, Stanley, Wallace. Everybody else is expendable. 

Come on guys at least keep the thread realistic about Flacco.

Flacco has 5 tds against Cleveland and 4 Tds against every other team he has played.

SMH..... way to early for praise! 

If he wants to play better, he has to improve his mechanics in the pocket.

The defense is carrying this team right now.  

On Nov /8/2016  Flacco does a presser about throwing off his back foot.  

If you watch the presser, he looks scared.

This is why I dont like him as our QB.

Why are you nervous in a presser?

Just tell them you haven't played well and you plan to play better.

Done deal! 

Did anyone else notice that they said after the Pittsburgh game that we were 1-1 in the division?  

What?????

It does!  BUT, it's a "primetime" game and...well....

The Ravens BETTER WIN and look good in the process with the ENTIRE football world watching!

GO RAVENS!!

But we never look good on primetime..........

When Tyrod Taylor wins a SB MVP give me a call.....

 

Cause this is the criteria of a Qb that's exempt from scrutiny.......... O.K...... i got it......lmao

Hysterical , again.  A guy who has been a starter for one whole season and couldn't finish the full season has proven himself more than a superb owl mvp and another poster is delusional?   I bet you were on the kaepernick wagon as well.   Some posters on here provide better content than comedy Central these days.  

I have no idea what you are talking about.  I don't care if he is a rookie in this case we do have rookies in the league that are outperforming our Super Bowl winning MVP......... But you know this already.....USMC Charles.... Happy Birthday to all Marines.  I'll let you have it today.

Yes, different type of QB, although certainly not the "he uses his mobility" type of QB that everybody thinks he is (40 yards rushing a game). Playing better than Joe this season, but also not really elevating his team to a level where they are any better than they've been before he was here. And if you're not doing that, there's really no point, because no team is paying top dollar for guys who don't do this. Teams aren't paying top dollar for guys who throw a bunch of TDs or for a bunch of yardage... those shoes ain't hard to fill either.

 

Then why cant Joe do it???

Holler from Denver, Miami, Cleveland, Jets, Jacksonville, Texans, Redskins, 49ers, Rams, Vikings, and some borderline teams.  aren't hard to be filled..../scroll eyes.....

PS: not following football much?

You literally just named a ton of QB's that are average at best and are still outplaying Joe. (kinda proving my point) I'll bet that every day one starter on that list has more Td's than Flacco. 

The real question is, do you watch football at all?

The only  Qb from the teams you selected that may be (even) or (worse) is 

Jets/Fitz = to many picks

Not willing to comment on Cleveland, they haven't won a game all year.  Both Qb's are playing on par or better than Joe though. Same with the 49ers. Other than that though????
