I dont think that is going to happen, i mean hes a good QB but hes only in his second year and these are great stats

[RaveninOrlando]

I think Flacco will have about 60% comp, 3,200 yds, 18-20 td's, 9-10 ints

I have to agree with this, and consider the sophmore slump.......I say 17tds. 10-13 picks.

If he had better WR's to throw to, I could definitely see that happening, but not with the crew we have now.

I'm guessing he'll put up something like 22 TD's - 10 INT's for 3,450 yards. Still a very good year

Sounds realistic, and for Baltimore those numbers are more than good enough to get a good playoff run going.

This one looks about right 22-10 i would put the Int number up a little like 12-13 other than that this seems to be an ideal prediction. Some of you guys that think joe will throw 28 TD are crazy. You make us look stupid by these outrageous predictions. This is the AFC NORTH we run the ball.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Flacco did throw that many Tds...

I think the INT numbers would be down a little because most of them came in the beginning of the season.

Last year, I thought Flacco would Epicly fail and throw 20-24 picks I was kinda wrong on that one.

I also laughed at those people who thought we could go 10-6, thinking at best we would be 8-8......

Nothing is impossible

[ravenwildman]

Honestly any stat right now would be an total guess at this point.

based on where he was heading, the sky is the limit this year my friends!!

I think having more depth in the wide out and tight end roster, as well as a more cohesive offense line will give him an opportunity to do GREAT things.

Lets hope he is up to it

If he rocks I say:

26-28 TDS 65% Comp 8-10 INT would be..... good (hey, I can dream)

[Ed_Reed20]

I don't think I'll be able to predict Flacco's stats until after the draft. The sky is the limit for him but he could go over 3500 yards this year if the team gets a receiver or TE(Pettigrew) in the draft.

Pettigrew would be nice, but I would like to see us get that 6 footer WO from Maryland ( Darrius Heyward Bey).

he looks like a Fitzgerald without the dreadlocks

Man imagine Flacco's arm and his height and speed....what a weapon for the offense!

[Purple Punishment]

i dont care about his stats as long as he can become a Captain Comeback late in games we are down in or if he can punish other teams through the air. I just want wins!

21/15, 3100/200

They will have fewer big leads because the defense will be weaker. They will be losing more often in the 4th quarter, which means more passing, which means more picks thrown. Still, it won't be an awful season for Flacco. The line is older/probably better and so is Flacco. Le'ron & Rice should be more polished this year. Two pass catching TEs is better than one. His TD/INT ratio could conceivably be much better than I'm expecting, but I don't think the yards will ever be too much higher than 3k looking at the makeup and tendencies of our offense.

I guess you are right, no one could have thought we would be in the play-offs with such a terrible QB group.

[isaac263]

3,200 yards.
20 TD's
10 INT's

200 yards rushing.
2 TD's.

[march4superbowl]

I predicted we would make the play-offs, I made a bet w/ a steelers fan for $100 we would win at least ten games, best earned 100 bucks ever lol

[RoflDogs]

I hope the only thing Ben and Flacco share is the ability to combackify late in the 4th quarter

Even if the D is weaker, you must consider that the schedule is much easier this year...

I wouldn't argue the D is weaker. Our D played last year without C-Mac, Gregg, and Landry. We got rid of C-mac so that loss doesn't hurt us, he only played 6 games. Landry's coming back and is a better tackler/safety than Leonhard. Gregg's back so we can have a better line, and his presence will draw some o-linemen for linebacker sacks. Carr is an upgrade over leonhard, and provides solid depth at CB. I am confident that Foxworth will exceed $28 million worth of expectations. All these are improvements on our defense.

The only real loss on Defense was Scott, and with the upgrades and returns to our line and secondary, Tavares doesn't need to be an all-pro linebacker for us to have a better defense.

I consider the loss of Leonhard to be a very big deal. The guy had one of the most intense, difference-making seasons that I've ever seen for a backup DB. Landry would have to have his best season to even approach Leonhard's impact from 2008. And I'm not sure why you would think that Foxworth will exceed expectations. I mean, I hope you're right about everything you're saying!! But my expectations for the D is much lower than yours. And as such, my expectations for our record is lower. I'm hoping like hell to squeeze into a playoff spot.

I guess we'll see what happens. I just can't imagine we will have two years in a row with such huge score gaps late in games. Call me a pessimist.

I think Joe will improve to at least a 65% comp just based on 1st yr experience

Pessimist

[Nevermore52]

It's a long season and anything can happen. I think Joe will be in the 2600-3000 yd range with 20+ TDs and 12-14 INTs. We don't really want him to have outrageous numbers, because with a team like ours that would translate to being behind and more losses.

The key to our season (as it is with most teams) will be injuries. Joe, Ray and Ed Reed are all completely irreplaceable from our roster and if any of them get banged up it could be a 8-8 season in no time. Eh, maybe Troy Smith could be alright.... maybe. Also Birk is a nice center but I feel that he is a clear down grade from Brown. Brown was arguably the best interior lineman in the league the past few years. Birk will have his hands full with Casey Hampton and Shaun Rogers for sure. Man I can't wait for the season to start!

[Bazard]

I'm guessing that Flacco will have 28 to 32 TD this season 6 to 12 INTs and over 4000 yards.

[Bazard]

[quote name='mhead66' post='179304' date='Apr 11 2009, 06:32 PM']I think you may be a bit too optimistic.

You have to look at Harbaugh/Cameron's offensive scheme. The Ravens were 1st in the NFL in rushing attempts/game, and 30th in pass attempts/game. This was partially due to starting a rookie QB - however, the makeup of the offense makes this the logical choice - the talent at RB, coupled with questionable receivers and a stout defense, makes this the best gameplan.

If this trend repeats in '09 - 37 rushes/game, 27 passes/game - I think Flacco will have 3200 yards, 18 TDs and 13 INTs... and, with easier schedules, there's a pretty good chance they meet Pittsburgh in the Championship Game again.[/quote]

Well if you look at brees and rivers when cam was there he let them light it up while running at the perfect moments for big gains without a big time reciever those guys put up great numbers for a long time with only top running back and Tight end combo
