#1 Your outta your mind. Its easy to say this person or whoever is the issue/problem, but what solution do you present as an improvement. Reality says many teams would be very happy to have Harbs for a coach. Every coach makes good and bad decisions for a myriad of reasons. #2 Flacco did not have the best year. IMHO he was rushing to get back to the field. I know its hindsight now, but even when he first took to the field I was thinking, really? Why they did not play Mallett in the first few games to really let Joe get healthy and get his mechanics back is kinda crazy. I still do not think rushing him back helped out any. Joe's contract has not handicapped the Ravens as you propose. Its easy to look at the total number he can earn. Try looking at what he actually does earn. Also, again who is a better QB upgrade available? #3 This is just outright crazy. First your judging recent draft classes off of a season or two? I guess at the first sign of struggles you must think you have failed and flunked.. The Ravens do a great job at drafting many positions and generally draft well in ever round. There is no guarantee a drafted player realizes the potential you see in them, so many factors. #4: The real issue you never even touched on. The Ravens have been plucked of many good/great coaches/scouts over the last several years. Why, because they were successful. They have done a good job of trying to replace the losses but eventually you gotta deal with the fact everyone is a bit different and not necessarily at that same level and like players need a bit of development to hit their stride. Most of these points would benefit from looking more closely at the details instead of surface scans.
Agree with your response. Fans try to pigeonhole a bad season by blaming this one or that one. The Ravens will bounce back. No doubt in my mind. Go Ravens.
