The way Flacco is playing, the only thing keeping him in Baltimore is his contract

I was 13th person to post and the 12 posters in front of me had nothing to say but garbage about. I would expect one out of twelve "fans" to at least have some hope  for a beloved team even that had a mediocre year and  a QB that had his worst year ever. Acordring to people in here the Ravens need  a new QB new receiving corps new center  completely new secondary new pass rushers new HC new OC  new DC. If this is all true how did they win those eight games? Who are you "fans" rooting for? I know who you are rooting against.

Mallet would've played better than Joe this year. give me a break

Yeah there's simply no basis for this.

The absolute best you've seen of Ryan Mallett on film is what Joe is criticized for on a weekly basis. There's not a single attribute or skill set at the QB position that Mallett is better than Joe at.

Not one.

I agree with everything except I want to point out that the defense only gave up 21 to Denver which considering who it was was very impressive.  The other 14 points were on 2 kick returnstart which isn't fair to put on the defense 

Cool.

So we are clear that the defense didn't win the Ravens the 2012 SB. Was without question the weakest unit of the two during that playoff run and arguably the whole season.

I am in agreement with you on the point that Joe Flacco was the reason the Ravens won the Super Bowl but I cant really go as far as to say, outside of said Super Bowl where SF basically abused Ray Lewis in the 2nd half, that the defense did not play amazing.  Holding Indy to 9 was impressive and only giving up 3 touchdowns to a Denver offense that was considered unstoppable and then securing the game winning interception is an effort I can not ignore.  Obviously I give major props to the offense for getting those points after the special teams blunders but that was a complete effort by both offense and defense.  Against NE they held Tom Brady to 13 points which only elite defenses can really do.  Now again thats with the caveat that they did not have Gronk that game  but the Ravens offense also got lucky that the pats lost Talib who was playing out of his mind at the time.  

 

The Super Bowl though was largely won due to the offense getting  a big enough lead that the game couldnt be choked away by the defense which is a ton of credit to Joe.

I mean that's great, but that's also a four game sample of an entire season. I referenced the statistics of the regular season also, which show pretty clearly that we were, at best, an average defense.

So you have a defense that was largely average during the regular season and a defense that was inconsistent and in the postseason.

The Ravens can do better than Mallet as the no. 2 man.

Like Big Ben.....Joe Flacco is 34. Ben has commented that he may not be back for the 2017-2018 season. Due to injuries and always being shacked. The Ravens have about 2 to 3 years (maybe more) before Joe starts to think about retiring as well. He hasn't been as hurt as Ben has but he has also taken a beating in that division. The Ravens normally get a 2nd stringer that is basically a Band-Aid quarter back and not a real long term replacement. But now that Joes getting older and they are pushing for another Superbowl. Now might be the right time to pick Alek Torgersen up and develop him now so in 2 or 3 years. He can be ready. Of course if he doesn't look good then trade him and draft another guy in the next year. I know Pittsburgh is also thinking about Bens replacement. Do I hear ROMO going to the Steelers?
As for the Ravens...take a look at Alek Torgersen from Penn. He could be the sleeper in the draft! And what ever you do. Don't waste time and money on a 3rd stringer back up.

I'm pretty sure Joe is younger than Ben.

No. What you saw from Joe in totality this year is the absolute best you have seen from Ryan Mallett in his career.

If Ryan Mallett were our QB this year, and he played the exact same and put up the same production as Joe did, fans would almost universally say that Mallett had a good year.

A good year for Ryan Mallett is considered a bad year for Joe Flacco. I don't even think anybody could dispute this.

That tells you everything you need to know right there.

Or you had a defense that wasn't fully healthy until the playoff run and played phenomenal during said run...corey graham in denver there is no superbowl run if he doesn't make those plays including a defensive touchdown....holding brady to 1 score in Foxborough is not something that an average defense does

LOL, but they weren't fully healthy in the playoffs either. You had no Webb, you had Ray playing with a torn tricep, and you had Suggs just beginning to come back from a torn achilles that offseason.

Again, in certain games they were very good. In others, not so much. They weren't overly good in the SB for certain, and they certainly weren't throughout the season.

They were great the entire playoffs and 2.5 quarters of the Super Bowl until SF realized Ray Lewis was actually a liability on the field and abused him the 1.5 quarters.

Get old "3 and out Flacco" to take a pay cut so the TEAM can afford to sign a few free agents. Brady does that for his TEAM, you know the TEAM going to their "9th Super Bowl".
How much longer are we going to wait for Ozzie to get that Super WR? Get another O lineman, CB and a RB. We have a few fast WR's, none that can catch, but they do run fast. How about another TE that doesn't do much, CB's that can't cover because they are to slow. Time for Ozzie to retire and bring in a few NEW scouts that know how to pick players.

 You keep posting this same silliness in every news thread but you will never say how or why Joe or any QB who isn't Tom Brady would leave money on the table or even give it back as you are suggesting.

 

Also coming off the leagues best draft and a wildly successful free agency last year you want ozzie to retire...I am really glad you don't get to make that choice
