http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/10009742/Top-10-bold-NFL-predictions-for-2009?GT1=390024. Joe Flacco will have a Pro-Bowl sophomore season.

Sophomore slump?


Schrager says Joe Flacco will be armed and dangerous in 2009.
Not with this guy. If the 2009 preseason has been any sort of indication, the Ravens' offense — and no, I'm not being facetious here — is going to be both balanced and high-powered this year. From the looks of it, Cam Cameron's taken the leash off of Joe Flacco, and the kid is ready to show that it is, in fact, possible to have a passing game in Baltimore Ravens purple.

You know all about the Ravens' running game. The trio of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain is arguably the best in the league, and between the three of them, you may see 2,750 rushing yards out of the Baltimore backfield this season. This is the year the passing game follows suit. Flacco has one of the NFL's best arms, and based on the early returns from the preseason, he'll be using it in '09.

In a conference with arms like Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Cassel, Pennington, Collins, Palmer and Schaub, using the words "Pro Bowl" and "Joe Flacco" in the same sentence seems pretty absurd.

Believe it.

I like Joe but I dont know about that prediction. If we are up by 2 scores we will be not be airing it out for Joe's stats. (example: last game of the season and Joe could have gone for 3000 yards but they called off the dogs early.)
I think we will get a heavy dose of the 3 headed monster this season, yeah we will air it out a bit more but Joe will be know as a game manager with our dominant defense (well deserved) in the national media's eyes. Joe will gather some attention but not enough to get a Pro-Bowl selection.

I think he's right on the money.
I think we'll stay true to our running game, but there are going to be quite a few games this year when Cam puts the ball in Flacco's hand and tells him to win the game for us (New England being first that comes to mind...I'm looking for Flacco to have a big second half in that game).
Boys and girls, this isn't your granddaddy's (well.....older brother's, lol) Ravens offense!

You know who our offense reminds me of? Have flashbacks of KC's offense from the early and middle part of this decade. Good QB, overwhelming OL, strong ground attack, lots of screens/swing passes, a great receiving TE, and no WR (well we have Mace). We will definitely light up the scoreboard a few times this year.
