I know a lot of people are fans of Greg Cossell on this board, and IMO is one of the best NFL analyst gurus out there. For anyone who hasn't listened to his draft podcast which reviews the AFCN draft and is interested, here it is.

Sorry about that, I sent a direct link to the download which obviously wont work. Scroll down to the bottom of the article for the link. I provided the new link.Quote:

Lee evans makes that catch a lot of haters become fans. Those that blame him start seeing the pinpoint passes hes making that wrs arent grabbing. Until he does well still have to deal with the nonsensical "get rid of flacco" crowd.Quote:

Yes, agreed.Quote:

He doesn't have receivers making catches with their head or with two players on their backs and keeping their feet inbounds.
He does have receivers letting the ball bounce off their facemask or through their hands or off their chest.
Flacco inspite of the flaws he has, has played well enough to win a couple rings.
The Ravens have been healthy enough to do it as well.
And they have had some luck, too.
But if the balls that should have been caught were simply caught (the ones right in their hands), Flacco would indeed be looked at very differently.
And yes, every team has dropped passes, but as Raven fans we know many of them were game deciding drives, year after year for Joe.
Que up 6 pages of why Flacco is overrated or needs to go....
I don't that many haters. If anything it would be 6 pages of posters defending Flacco over the comments of 1 or 2 guys who don't like him.Quote:

They feel they have to defend him all the time. By the way I loved everything Bullocks said and am glad to see a former player with no ties at all to the Ravens feel that strongly about our quarterback.
Exactly :thumbup:Quote:
