He makes a good point. $120 mil, 5 picks, he better stand up and take responsibility. Even though the O line should be horse whipped in public for the performance they put up.

Re: Joe Flacco: A Mature and Now Outspoken Leade
Well, he really threw three picks. Two were dropped passes tipped up into the air. Not much anyone can do about that. Also, he has poo around him right now with half his starting wideouts gone and the o-line being so bad there's no run game/play action.
We've all technically seen him play worse than he did at Buffalo (Jets in Baltimore, Jags, Seahawks back when they sucked, 4 picks in Cincy), even if Buffalo gave a bad stat line. ... Just to play devil's advocate to anyone who'd place that loss squarely on him.

Re: Joe Flacco: A Mature and Now Outspoken Leade
They've been beating Dalton like a rented mule all week too here in Rivertown. Pay no attention is the best thing a QB can do. One good game and all will be forgiven in both cases.

Re: Joe Flacco: A Mature and Now Outspoken Leade
I wasn't putting the loss squarely on Joe. In fact my post suggested that if anyone deserves credit for the loss, it's the O line. I like that he did take responsibility for the loss. That is what he is supposed to now. When the offense doesn't play well Joe needs to be a stand up guy and put it on his shoulders. Even if it's not his fault. He is the new face of the franchise and this team will only go as far as he takes them.

Re: Joe Flacco: A Mature and Now Outspoken Leade
Why do we need to make a thread about everything Joe says? To me he's always been pretty much the same guy from 2008, he's just more of a leader now and a much better player with a significant amount of extra bulk. His personality is no different. He probably said things like this hundreds of times back in say 2009 without us realizing.

Re: Joe Flacco: A Mature and Now Outspoken Leade
I'm so sick of hearing that. Its just a number, and has no meaning what so ever unless Joe is generally just laying back and being lazy now that he's getting paid a ton of money, which he obviously isn't doing. Its not like you guys are paying tax money that goes to Flacco's account, you buy tickets to go watch him win the franchise football games, just like you all were before he earned the contract.
I understand the whole salary cap thing, but that's a whole different subject. Just because Joe is earning all that money, we shouldn't all of a sudden start taking everything he says through the media literally (even though a lot of us did before the contract anyway). If Flacco throws 5 picks in a game, sure, start a thread, it absolutely needs to be talked about, just like how bad the offensive line is, or how Rice is average less than 3 yards a carry, but why all of a sudden do we need to start threads of nothing more than "players speak"?

Re: Joe Flacco: A Mature and Now Outspoken Leade
Now that the face of the franchise has retired, Joe's quotes will garner more attention. To us, this sounds like something he would have said three years ago. To the rest of the nation, it is new, because he was always overshadowed by Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Plus, the vast majority of the time, at least in the media, the defense favored Rice and the idea of running the football. That really didn't change until the 2011 AFC Championship Game.
