Re: Why Joe's the problem
birk spend most of his time on his back or in thebackfield, the middle of the Oline has been bad all season long, I don't see any recievers getting separation downfield teams have keyed in on play calling they know the routes just watch the road games, and now they figured it out at home.

That is a big issue.
They're going to be stuck because giving him the tag is going to be pretty expensive and really limit how they address other positions...but do you really want to invest that kind of squeege into a guy you've seen plateau?
I mean, realistically speaking, it is highly probable that Flacco's performance will improve with a better offensive scheme, but Ozzie and Bisciotti have really put themselves in a sticky situation.

How has Hue Jackson?
How has Jim Zorn?

You can't really compare Zorn or Jackson.
#1 - Jackson left to take a HC gig and that was Flacco's rookie year IIRC.
#2 - Zorn was scapegoated by Cam and Harbaugh because Cam felt that Flacco had "too many voices" in his ear.
They have made a lot of coaching changes that were mistakes, IMO.
Letting Billy Matsko go and going with Andy Moeller.
Firing Jim Zorn and making Cam the QB's coach only to bring in Jim Caldwell. That whole situation was just really dumb.

I'm not pointing fingers at Flacco or Caldwell. I'm just trying to figure out if the money to bring Caldwell in to coach Flacco was money well spent and we're seeing some improvement or has Flacco hit his ceiling and a QB coach isn't going to be an answer to getting any improvement.
Re: How has Caldwell benefited Flacco?
Whey you have an idiot calling the plays, creating the schemes, and making the decisions about what personnel to put on the field for each play not even Houdini could get out of that box!
