Hope the Ravens brass got to watch Packers - Cowboys game. What a display of quarterbacking by both QBs especially Aaron Rodgers. And could you believe that the other QB is just a rookie.

Yeah, especially against those great defensive efforts, huh.  Secondary play was pitiful on both sides. Looked like a college game.

Guessing what the Ravens brass noticed most was how having offensive weapons and great O line play can produce results.  I think they probably already knew how talented Rogers and Prescott are.   

When will Ravens fans stop blaming the Oline for all of Flacco's deficiencies. Oline doesn't buy pocket awareness, and pocket presence. Oline does tell the QB to quicken the snap count and catch the defender before he leaves the field. Oline doesn't tell the QB to vary his voice inflection and keep the pass rushers and the defensive line guessing. Good QBs have these weapons as part of their armamentarium. A good QB has so much latitude to attack a defense.
Also a good QB can make players around him better. We keep asking for this nirvana with Flacco; great Oline, great WRs, Great RBs, great OC, great play caller, great play, great head coach. Where's the money to pay for all these players, when he the QB is making all the money. The head coach is already on record making this exact point.

armamentarium.....oh my.   lol

Not sure why you are trying to compare Flacco's play to Rogers then Talking about "deficiencies". No QB in the NFL compares to Rogers, he is simply the best. But guess what, without adequate protection and his receivers making catches he's not so great. It's really not rocket science. 

You mention not being able to pay the needed players because "the QB is making all the money". You may want to look at the cap hits of most franchise QBs in the NFL and rethink the erroneous assumptions that faulty logic leads to.

According to your logic, just pay them; it doesn't matter how they play. Yeah I got it.

If we had beaten the Steelers and lost to the bengals we would have still made the playoffs.

I don't think that's the case, but I don't want to bother going back and looking since it really doesn't matter.

Keep Rick Wagner, Brandon Williams and fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Cut Flacco's pay to afford these guys and then the any additional cap money can go for 1-2 free agents. Then change the way you draft to offer additional picks to move up in the first three rounds and get players who can play NOW. Except for 3-4 player most of the Ravens picks since 2013 suck.

Why would Flacco agree to a paycut exactly?  The team has no leverage on that front so why would he do it.

You want to invite quarterback Joe Flacco on future trips??? Why ??? They can't manage himself on the field, why in the world would you want him to help manage the whole team??? I guess next they would invite Larry, Curly and Mo to the meetings.
