[quote name='PuRock' post='75497' date='Oct 12 2008, 07:34 PM']Everbody wants to attack Flacco. But what about the coaches who are playing him, or the front office that drafted him? All these people attacking Flacco should attack Harbaugh and Ozzie as well. All I hear is the negativity towards Flacco, he's out there because our organization put him out ther. All I hear coming out of these posts are bad fans.

Fans that do not know how to support their teams decisions are pitiful. Like I always say, they roll Smith out there, I'm a Smith fan. But right now our QB is Flacco. So show some respect.

So yes I can defend.[/quote]
that's dumb... fans have a right to be upset when their team is losing and playing horrible doing it. they have a financial interest in this team, they buy the merchandise, they spend money on expensive tickets to see them play... they put a lot of time in to watch the games go to practices and so on.... so you can't blame fans for being upset and disappointed. they still support this team no matter what, because they still buy the tickets, the uniforms and other paraphernalia and watch the games, this organization should have some respect for the fans that support them despite us not being competitive right now.

1 Touchdown
7 Interceptions[/quote]

You are 100% right, because with having the best receivers in the league there is no reason he shouldn't have 7 TDs and 1 INT.... oh wait....

Fans can be upset and vent without Name calling and insulting each other and the players.

[size=2]We have the same receivers we had when we went 13-3. The receivers aren't the problem, its easy to blame them but there isn't too much they can do when the quarterback doesn't get them the ball. I can blame Flacco for us losing at Pittsburg, I can give him some of the blame for us losing to the titans. We can't blame him week after week for losing us games. It is up to the coaches to bring in the next man, Joe has shown that he can not get the job done. We have to make a change.[/size]

Flacco is the new Boller.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Going forward too fast.

I fully reserve the right be be wrong on this and I hope I am, but so far what I am seeing reminds me a lot of Boller. At least scirmstantially. (sp?)

Lets give Flacco a few more games and lets see what he does!I'm ready to put him under the bus too but lets give him a few more games! A few more games won't sabatoge our season hopefully and Harbaurgh will have to eat his words if there is no change!

You know, I do agree with you here I guess...If he continues to absolutely TANK it for say 3 more games and he has 1 TD & 15 picks, then yea, we gotta switch it up

Look people I have had enough of the negativity that comes from the so called fans from this site! All I hear day after day is how bad our ROOKIE Flacco is and how Troy should have started in front of him and the rest of the garbage that has revolved around here since we lost our first game of the season. This is football and there are 31 other teams out there that are aiming at the same goal we are and thats the Super Bowl. I am as mad and as upset as any of you that the team looked so bad today but I will never lose faith in this team. I have chosen to be a Ravens fan since their induction to the league back in 96' because they were my home town team and have never looked back(to me thats how it should be). There has been good times and bad times so far and I may have opinions on how this and that should have been handled but in the end it is not my job. My job and your job as a fan is to support the team no matter what! Yes, we all have our own opinions on how things should be handled and who should be benched but the Bmore Ravens have hired people to do that and they get paid well for doing so, for a reason, they are professionals. The bottom line is that we lost today to a team that has had our number every time we have played them and we, as a team, had a lot of mistakes and no one person lost this for us. Regardless, we have to stay behind what this coaching staff decides to do and look forward to next game and stop being so damn negative. We are 2-3 with a few match-ups that look to be in our favor next and we can hope that we grow and learn from the mistakes we have made the last 3 weeks. GO RAVENS!!

I hate to harp back to this again because it's a premature comparison, BUT Peyton Manning's (you know they guy who knocked the crap out of us yesterday?) record in his rookie season was 3-13 with 29 picks. Flacco may not ever be a

Manning, a Carson Palmer, or even a Chad Pennington, but we will not know this soon into the rookie's career. There's quite a long learning curve in the NFL for a rookie QB. Is it fun or pretty to watch? No. Is it necessary? Yes. Fact is,

for better or worse, we HAD to start Flacco immediately (I was a large proponent of keeping him off the field when the other two QB's were in the race). But, honestly benching him now is a step in the opposite direction. We all need to

sit back, calm down, and wait out the rookie storm, because, honestly, in terms of rookie QB's starting their first year, he doesn't look THAT terrible or uncharacteristic. Also, anyone who thinks that Joe Flacco is the only thing wrong with our

floundering offense is seriously fooling themselves. Just be thankful we have a solid corps of running backs and (surprisingly) a fairly decent O-line. And if these "GET JOE OUT OF TOWN!" responses are due to the Indy performance, maybe you should go

back and look the highlights and analyze the big steaming dump the Ravens took on Defense and Special teams as well.
