Re: A thought I had...
I seem to remember the O line playing pretty well that game so well that a thread was started asking if any doubters were believers now and they ran the no huddle almost exclusively that game and were able to run unlike today so that is not the same to me, he was under duress most of the game when they went no huddle it got better except for the INT.
Now you may still be right because he played pretty well despite an almost ridiculous rush in the playoff game vs Houston, despite his stats in that game he never came close to throwing a pick and made a few big plays to help win the game. But today was different maybe he just stepped his game up in the Houston game or maybe it was just too much this game but t compare it to the Cincy game at the beginning of the year, everyone was playing better that game almost night and day difference.

Re: A thought I had...
Honestly, I think the best bet for the Ravens is to sign Joe to a 3yr reasonable cap friendly deal that says we still like you a lot but you gotta prove it if you want $16M+/yr money. 3yrs would be in his prime (if he's good) to sign that franchise QB deal. Problem is teams like the Cards are gonna overpay for Flacco, so he and his agent still have the leverage. Also, is Joe just chasing the money?

Re: A thought I had...
Think you had a good response until the very end. Flacco has been the NFL for five years now.
That said, I'm not sure how you fork over a big contract to him this offseason? I'm not saying the Ravens should let him hit the market and start from scratch at Qb. But the Ravens have seemed to paint themselves in a corner here.

For a large portion of his career, Flacco's #1 WR has been age 30+.
He has never had the luxury of a Calvin Johnson or a Hakeem Nicks.
See how "elite" Stafford would be without CJ.

Re: A thought I had...
I'm hoping Flacco holds out next year for the highest offer, that's what the NFL is all about. Pretty sure some other team will offer him a nice amount to play for them.. That way we can see how well he plays in a different setting. Where ever he plays, I'll be cheering for him. The fans in Baltimore who think they know whats up are all mouth.

Re: A thought I had...
I really don't see Flacco signing a short deal. Pretty rare thing to see a young, established QB sign a deal for less than 5 or 6 years... not much incentive for Flacco to go for a 3 year deal instead. The team would surely prefer it, of course.
If Flacco gets a deal for 3 years, 39 million with 20 guaranteed from us, he'll probably get 5 years, 65 million with 35 guaranteed from Arizona, Kansas City, or Jacksonville. As a player, it's a no-brainer to take the deal that offers more financial security. So, I think you can forget about retaining Flacco on any kind of "prove it" deal.

Re: A thought I had...
After the Philly game I pointed some this this out, kind of cut Cameron a little slack. But today Flacco under-performed even my own expectations.....that pick 6 was inexcusable.

Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
