Lol these fans are rough, they make you not wanna support the guy. I actually like him, he just needs more work than i think a four year guy in the same system should need. Joe looks scared on the field, and goes against the best D in the league everyday in practice. [b][u]Every time he is presented with a chance to win a ball game he chokes. smh.... [/u][/b]I don't care what he does next game against the Cardinals if Joe doesnt find a way to bring us back in a game or two this season, he is nothing more than a game manager and should be payed as such.

He's been in contact with Rich Gannon,,, apparently.

I think a lot of these things will be a attributed to the lockout, Matt Ryan, Josh Freeman and Flacco all have struggled. And truthfully flacco leasts the least incompetent.

Sunday is Flacco's chance (along with that horrible O-line) to redeem himself. let's see how he does.

At least with the likes of Freeman he has had an excuse with having Blount and now Graham out injured. Flacco has Rice still in there. I still expect it to come good, starting this weekend.

I like your posts Milli, but I think your being far too kind here...

Flacco cannot redeem himself unless he wins on the big stage consistently, unless HE is the catalyst that keeps us in games when the Defense is having a bad game against a good team (like the D did vs the Jets), unless HE starts to make Bolden, Smith, WIlliams, Evans, Doss, Reed, Dickson, PItta, Rice, WIlliams look good and noth vice-versa, he can and will not redeem himself!

I am done with him until he does the afore mentioned, it has been THREE agonizing years of trashy performance on the big stage (Monday and Sunday night Football) early exits from the playoffs! We should of had at least TWO rings since 2009!

we should experiment with Tyrod Taylor a couple games and see what hes made of. Joe Flacco is just unpredictable. everytime we are in the playoffs we lose because of turnovers and we expect the defense to pull us out of the hole year after year. its time to take the pressure off of the defense for once. if flacco throws 3 picks or even fumbles the ball i just turn the channel. it gets old for a ravens fan to watch year after year because the offense chokes. btw its time to cut ties with cam cameron. he was garbage with the dolphins and hes garbage to this team.

Either help Flacco out in a big way on offense, or let Tyrod start. Its obvious with the current weapons and system, that this is going to be a long year. To me the kid just does not look like a winner. Big ups to T-sizzle on supporting your quarterback, but honestly Joe has one more horrible showing then im going ham nonstop and tell he's benched.

You people are honestly just flabbergasting me. I just don't understand how you can look at performances like this and say "Joe Flacco is to blame" or whatever. When he's got no pass protection because the line is like swiss cheese, and when his receivers aren't getting even a LITTLE separation, what is he supposed to do? He throws the ball away to avoid sacks when he can, he TRIES to make a play happen, I saw numerous occasions where he tried to get the ball to a receiver who wasn't getting any separation and he did a good enough job of it considering the coverage, but the receiver wasn't making the catch anyway. What is the quarterback supposed to do when the defense has a pass rush that's shredding your O-line, when the defenders are all over your receivers like a parasite, when your receivers aren't making those kind of "miracle catches" that seem to benefit a lot of the QBs that this league considers the great ones, I mean... I just don't see what any other QB would have done in that game? Can someone explain to me what Tyrod Taylor would have been able to do that Flacco couldn't?

thanks Killa!

but i don't hate Flacco! sure, his hit or miss gameplay over the years have definitely pissed me off. no doubt! but that is because i really, really, really want to believe that this cat can be that "franchise" QB for our team. right now i don't! but, i believe that Flacco is a decent QB and i really want him to do well (week in and week out) and not look so badly as he does on the big stage because he is our QB at the moment. let's see how he does and looks on Sunday along with that O-line.

That MNF game was probably one of the hardest losses I felt. First would be last year in the playoffs against the Steelers after that infamous "3 and 19" play. Second would be Joes rookie year against the Steelers. Third 2 years ago in playoffs vs Colts. Fourth 2 years ago at Vikings after Joe led the team in field goal range but Haushka missed it. and then Fifth in 06 when we lost to colts. Then probably the Titans this year lol. Anyways I cant wait till Sunday when Joe throws 350 yards and 3 TDs, Yea. I said it

II do believe Flacco has the arm and the accurary to be that guy, but that is only the physical, what makes a QB great in my opinion is his ability to be effective when it matters most, when his team needs him... It seems like Flacco is regressing and continuing to repeat the same type of play year in and year out... I would like him to be that guy, after all our team could then focus on addressing other concerns/positions.

Id like to not have to worry every game if we are getting Cool Joe or Wacko Flacco... I dont hate him either, but would like to see him earn his "franchise Qb" tag with quality perfornance on any stage...

I am quite serious. Last season, we had a superbowl team, the year before we had one also... the talent across the board is among the top five NFL teams easily!
