You don't invest $120 Million in a franchise quarterback who's performance is less than his check when his O-Line and RB suck right now.

You want to use a trick play? Do it when your offensive line can actually fucking block.
Since different men have different skill sets, there exist no such "best 11 men" in any offense that attempts to be creative. We already run in more than 11 guys as it is. You think we are making a mistake doing it?

And again, Tyrod would be the "best" man if we are looking for a guy who can run and throw the ball on our team. What you are saying is you can't imagine a play where having a guy that can run the ball and throw the ball would be helpful. That is the problem.

And there is 0% chance putting Tyrod in for a couple plays per game to change things up "undermines" Flacco at all. Sounds like you don't have the same opinion of Flacco's character that I do.

As for trick plays. You use them when your offensive line can't block. If your offensive line could block, you could drive down the field with your less mobile QB, running predictable plays, and scoring enough points to win. Trick plays are a way to "win" on a play with your brain, when you can't "win" consistently with your body.
