Re: Does Joe Flacco, a/k/a Joe Statue, have a Low Football IQ?
Perhaps there is a misunderstanding, bacchys was replying to my post where I beleive what you said was that he never saw the guy coming at him and just stood there and got hit when in fact he slid to the left a bit and then made the poor decision to try and trhow it. If you meant that he did not see that rusher lined up before the snap then I apologize and that is certainly a debatable item.
It is fair to critcize Joe like the throw he tried in this instance but sometimes I think people see one bad pass and think every pass was bad or that one sack which must mean that he was like that the whole game and never tried to escape or throw the ball away or something. Like last game against the Steelers, there was the bad underthrow so many only remembered that and thought all the deep balls were like that when in fact most were on target and at least catchable if not great throws. Film came out last week and said this himself.
Criticize Joe when he deserves it but don't make crap up that didn't happen just because you were so upset over that one play.

Re: Does Joe Flacco, a/k/a Joe Statue, have a Low Football IQ?
Disagree, he has made those quick throws when they do them and quick decisions but when in the turtle mode, what I call Cam going back to his bread and butter in the Coryell, he has to wait 3 to 5 seconds and many times these were just not open and so it looks like he is what are all the cliches? Deer in headlights, daydreaming, slow Joe, head somewhere else, etc. if he really could not read defenses that well then they would be more likely to fool him and he would throw more picks. Not saying he never makes bad decisions or that he never gets flustered, I think the whole system flustered him at times.
Now with Cam gone we shall see if this is trueLast edited by RavenMan; 12-10-2012 at 06:26 PM. Reason: spelling typo

I can't take seriously a thread that calls flacco a statue and yet questions Joes IQ.
its time to design an offense to Flaccos strengths. he is a winning QB. tony may not value winning as a measure of greatness but winning is the bottomline.

You can add 2 more things to your list: that with Cam constantly sending our WRs on the same 4 routes, especially deep and out, that the opposing D's began to anticipate and sit on those routes, forcing Joe to hold on to the ball longer waiting for his WRs as they struggled to get any seperation.
Also our WRs inability to beat man to man press coverage for the past couple of seasons, meant Joe had to wait while the WRs fought just to get off the line and into their routes.
Face it, given how makeshift our O-Line has been for 3 seasons due to injuries and guys leaving for other teams, Cam's approach, both with his play design and play calling made absolutely no sense, literally defying any rational explanation beyond Cam's unrequited love for the long ball.
Which is why many of us have been repeating this mantra for several years now: CAM MUST GO.
And now he finally has.
Let's see what happens next.

Re: Does Joe Flacco, a/k/a Joe Statue, have a Low Football IQ?
Back about week 6, I was trying to prove a point to someone, so I went through all the games in the season to that point to check on exactly that. At that point, through 91 games played, 15 games had been won by the team with the QB with the lower passer rating for the game.
Interestingly, two of them were Steelers games--Raiders and Titans. I could hardly help but snicker...
