It's not criticism, it's actually praise...

Let's clear something up here. When someone says the team needs to move on from Flacco, or Harbaugh... most of you on this board seem to take that as negativity and degradation of the team.

It's quite the contrary. We're actually saying that the TEAM is really good, and these one or two pieces are wasting the opportunity for the rest of the team. We're not saying the team is bad, we're saying one of the most important positions on the field is simply not taking advantage of the opportunity



In fact, those who defend Flacco at all costs... saying EVERYTHING ELSE on the team is the problem. You're the people who seem to be negative. I'd say that's more negative an outlook than my view.

We've got two more regular season games, and the playoffs to see where the team stands. But I really think there's more talent on this team than most people. There's just one big consistent problem that I haven't seen addressed or even considered.

Everyone say McKinnie could help, but Harbaugh is mad at him. I've been saying the same thing about Tandon Doss the last two years... and he only recently has gotten any playing time. Any time the ball isn't 4 feet over his head, he catches it. We can't be keeping talent on the sideline just because the coach has an ego. The coach should be more worried about clock management and not wasting previous time, or valuable timeouts with horrible challenges.

Great thread, man.

McKinnie isn't playing because he's not good. And Doss' lack of playing time the past two seasons has little to do with Harbaugh's "ego".

We really don't need another thread discussing Flacco, Harbaugh, or the fans. There are plenty already. Choose one and post your sentiments there.

Thank you.
