Here's what I'd like to see next year: Cam Cameron and Mark Sanchez both get jettisoned by their respective teams and are signed by the Oakland Raiders.

Risk avoidance. Throw the ball over the middle & unless it's caught (or knocked down by the receiver acting as a DB) it's liable to be picked or tipped & then picked. Throw it to the sidelines & if it's done right there's minimal risk of an INT off a tip (though we saw one vs Joe a couple of games ago--great play by the DB IIRC). Throw it deep & even if it's picked the result is generally no worse than a punt.
Q has a reputation for money hands & the ability to outmuscle DBs for position & for the ball; therefore he is considered the safest option across the middle. Pitta is the second safest. They don't trust Torrey or Jacoby to catch & secure the ball in traffic.

Re: Swap out Joe from the Cam Offense and insert other NFL QB... Who would be better?
Can't be a coincidence that the last two opening games--when they had a full offseason to design & implement fresh (if not totally new) offensive & defensive schemes--the Ravens blasted AFCN opponents.
I'm going to conjecture that Cam put in enough different stuff that he could show part of it in the opener & save up the rest for NE, which everyone knew would be a crucial game. But after that there was nothing new left, & it doesn't take NFL defenses long to figure out what you're running. Particularly if (as Kevin VV has written) there's nothing built into the pattern trees to throw off the DBs timing or make him hesitate even for an eyeblink. Even more so if they only run a very limited number of plays out of any given set. You just can't show an NFL defense exactly what you're going to run (or, let's say, which 3 possible plays you might be running) out of a given set & expect to have success--even if your personnel are superior, which the Ravens' this year are not.
