Re: Flacco is our guy
Okay, I'll give you the ball security.
The drives I'm going to argue a bit. Yesterday we hung 29 points on a very good Texans defense after we turned the ball over twice. There were multiple drives by Flacco and the offense that only turned into FGs. We're right in the middle of the pack when it comes to offense but you do realize we've played 4 of the top 12 (exluding us) defenses in the NFL through five games, right?
Let's put it another way:
The teams we've played have given up an average of 21.78 points per game.
We're averaging 29.6
The teams we've played have given up an average of 333.28 yards per game
We're averaging 367.2
The teams we're playing against have very, very good defenses in general. The Rams are, of course, the exception. So when you say Joe and the offense goes into a cold spell and then comes out of it, I'm going to say that's Joe growing and learning. Good teams make adjustments. Their defenses figure out what the Ravens are doing and stop them. The Ravens turn around and make their own adjustments and the offense takes off again.
This team, the Baltimore Ravens, are 4-1. Y'all are complaining because we're not beating teams by a large enough margin of victory even though none of the games we've won have been close.:grbac:"A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

Re: Flacco is our guy
What does that matter?
You missed my whole point.
Before the catastrophic shoulder injury that prematurely ended his career, Jones was a consistent offensive leader with a cannon for an arm that made defenses pay. He was a field general who inspired confidence in his men.
I think that somewhere down the line Joe can definitely become our version of Bert.
Next time I'll write it in crayon if you need.

Re: Flacco is our guy
"everyone knows how much everyone is praising aaron rodgers now, it took him until his 6th year to win a playoff game."
Thank you for saying this - I've long compared Flacco to Aaron Rogers (in my mind at least). People forget that Rogers sat for three years behind Brett Favre, watching and learning. His first year as a starter equates to Flacco's fourth year - aka this year. I'm not saying that Flacco shouldn't be ahead if you compare Rogers' fourth year with Flacco's (he should be, because he's been starting all this time), but if you look at the progression of Aaron Rogers, I think we are witnessing a similar evolution in Flacco.
Aaron Rogers didn't start out lighting the world on fire, he grew into it. I think Flacco is doing this before our eyes, and some people don't recognize it.
That's my two cents.

"Most if not all of the outright Flacco bashing comes on sports talk radio, so you really shouldn't read much into it. By and large the people that call into those shows are complete idiots without jobs."

Re: Flacco is our guy
You lose all credibility when you put Fitzpatrick and Stafford on that list. Stafford has had what good 5 games in his 3 seasons in the league. Cam Newton is what 1-5. If Flacco has made the mistakes that Romo has made in critical times Bmore fans would have run him out of town.
Manning only gets consideration because he has a ring. I can understand Rivers as he puts up great stats but really has not proven to be a winner. Rivers is also starting to struggle as he loses offensive weapons.

Re: Flacco is our guy
He has not thrown a TD pass since the 1st Quarter of the St. Louis game. He shows no consistency. We will only win a SB if we can get by without a passing game. Outside of Baltimore he is viewed at around 20th in the league, maybe lower.
