Joe needs to get rid of the ball quicker, Standing there getting hit is why his shoulders are sore in the first place.Its time to scower for a offensive lineman.

You say you get upset (@Respect the raven), is there a reason? The fact that you don't voice it on the forum doesn't make you more of a fan.
This isn't a Purple kool-aid only forum, its a fan forum and everyone has an opinion and is allowed to voice it. If they're on here making statements, they're most likely a fan, otherwise, they probably wouldn't bother. I'm a fan and have been since the Colts played here and have thousands of dollars of memorabilia on my Purple and gold wall with a 15' ravens logo I painted myself. I've worked concessions at both stadiums, go to many of the fund raisers and I've also mowed a 50' "Go Ravens" in my back yard from training camp till first frost for the last 10 years. I also own about a dozen jerseys. If people are upset, that's their right to mention how they see it. More times than not, the masses predict future moves on this team anyway so "Fans" of all types have valid points too, even if they don't agree with you. Stick to statements about the team. "Constructive criticism is fine....but the downright fan bashing doesn't sit well with me!!"
Saying so doesn't make you "More of a fan" than the rest of us.

Wow ....did I strike a cord or something??!! I am not fan bashing!!  Just like you said...everyone has their own opinions. Mine is, "it doesn't sit well with me" when a "fan" bashes someone on the team. It's my right to say so, like it's your right to say what you say. Thanks for letting me know what a true fan is.....   

You're welcome.

I wonder how sore that shoulder will be if Mallet plays well.

Respect, I agree with you..... While everyone is entitled to their opinion and constructive criticism, I kind of get really tired of the mean-spirited, venom-filled posts about anyone and everyone in the entire organization, that is NOT constructive criticism in any way, shape or form. This world seems full of enough hate, and I just need to go de-stress after reading the forums sometimes.....

Joe most of the time has an average of 2 seconds to get rid of the ball, most QBs with a really good O-line has 4-5 seconds..... Joe doesn't have TIME to get rid of the ball, and if he hurries his throws, they will most likely be picked off.... He has done a great job of protecting the ball by any means possible, with how rushed and taking the hits that he has.

Many fans are tired of the same old, same old, and are frustrated. Simply put, the team is selling a product that is faulty and well below its normal standards. I am sure that most of us want a better product than what has been portrayed.

[purpledown]

Sounds like Mallet time for the foreseeable future. The season is unriveling real quick, 3-0 seems like years ago.

[purpledown]

Trade him now while you still can. He sucks.

that may be a good idea.

Get better a.s.a.p. Joe, I guess I am the only fan still rooting for you every Sunday ??

I'm with you! Love my team....no matter what!!  Do I get upset sometimes?? Sure I do, but the Ravens are MY home town team. I would never throw any of the team under the bus, like some so called fans do. Boggles my brain!!!  Constructive criticism is fine....but the downright bashing doesn't sit well with me!! I will now just them!!!!

Fine advice, "respect...". I've been doing that for a while now. Some posters (and you know who you are) have nothing positive to say about the players, coaches, front office, etc. When I see their name attached to a post I just pass on by without reading what I know is going to be a waste of my time. My motto = ignore the ignorant.

Another mysterious injury that is no problem. I guess that means Joe won't play for lord knows how long. Harbs put the whole team on IR and start fresh.

It's a shoulder injury. Get over it and move on please.

Yeah, but it's his passing shoulder.

I think "respect . . ." was referring to the constant bashers, not the average fan airing his occasional gripes.

Kudos

great post. Me personally, I criticize Joe because i know he can do better. Heck iv seen him do a loooot better.

Take Mallet for instance, j barely criticized him last year because I never expected much to begin with lol

[Rav'n Maniac]

Joe needs to get rid of the ball quicker, Standing there getting hit is why his shoulders are sore in the first place.Its time to scower for a offensive lineman.

He has one of the quicker releases, if not the quickest release in the NFL averaging 2.4 seconds. The majority of his hits are after the ball is released as proven by 13 sacks on the season. Just saying.

Yep. Why is rookie Dak Prescott looking so good? Who has the best O-line in the NFL?

Exactly! Let's not forget the teams who have a strong running game too, that helps a QB big time.

People also seem to forget that there are a lot of yellow and black trolls out there. Trust me, I know one personally who loves to come on this site and stir people up. So you have to take some comments with a grain of salt, especially the real wacky ones that obviously have no connection with reality. Haters gonna hate.

[Crusader]

Joe should sit this one out. Come back strong with maybe a healthy O line and give it heck. Ravens can't have a 50% Joe during this stretch.
