Re: Cam is Staying but Must Hire a QB Coach, per The Sun
People really need to stop repeating this mantra. The Pats were the 2nd worst D in yards allowed, not points allowed.
The Pats were 15th in points allowed at 21 ppg (19 ppg at home).
So, if you're going to say that the Ravens only scored 20 points on the Pats (which really should have been 27, unless you are going to blame Evans' drop on Cam), then you have to compare that with the correct statistical ranking.

Re: Cam is Staying but Must Hire a QB Coach, per The Sun
Thanks...that "we scored 20 points ont he 31st defense in the league" crap was annoying the hell out of me.
As for Cam, I don't think anybody is happy that he is coming back, but all the doom and gloom crap is dumb. When we need to make plays in our last 2 playoff games, Cam/Joe has put us in position to make them only to have our recievers drop passes at crucial times...Boldin go ahead TD drop with 3 minutes left in the game and TJ's drop to keep our last drive alive in Pitt last year, and Evans drop (to go along with our OL getting manhandled on a 3 man rush on the play before the FG that if Joe had a little more time and stayed in the pocket, Boldin was open at about the 10 and probably could have at least gotten out of bounds) on Sunday.
People forget that we've won 28 out of 32 games and had our OC and QB putting our guys in position to win these playoff games and perhaps get to the Superbowl, only to have players...the players, fail to make the routine play.
I think some are of the "anybody but Cam" mindframe...while I myself would like them to uncover someone else out there, I'd say some of you should be careful of what you wish for...beleive it or not, there ARE worse OC's out there than Cam...firing him just to fire him may not be the answer.

:word
I've thought he was gone that last 2 years, but at this point, the names out there (Childress, Hue) haven't been really appealing to me.
That said, Mike Sherman is a name that would be interesting, now that it appears he's not getting the TB HC job (after having a 2nd interview).

Re: Cam is Staying but Must Hire a QB Coach, per The Sun
A lot of people seemed to get hung up on this "31st ranked defense" thing where the Pats are concerned. Clearly they aren't as bad as that. As others have pointed out, New England is more stingy with points than they are with yardage. And the Ravens did get roughly 400 yards net offense, which isn't at all shabby.
Getting back to the topic of coordinators, I can't believe we lost Chuck Pagano so quickly. Sigh. Murphy's Law, I guess. Chuck leaves but (at least for now) Cam stays. I know it's not confirmed at this point, and that more changes could be in the offing, but this doesn't give me a warm & fuzzy looking ahead to the 2012 season. Could the Ravens find an OC better than Cam given who might be available? I don't know. But I'm not sure how much difference a new QB coach would really make as long as ol' Cam is in there calling the same predictable game plan. And the Ravens have a very tough schedule next year.

Re: Cam is Staying but Must Hire a QB Coach, per The Sun
On one hand, you have won twelves games in consecutive years with Cameron as the offensive coordinator. On the other hand, at some point, this offense needs to become a proactive and dictating offense. They can't keep riding this defense the way that they are, only to suddenly ask Joe to save them when the defense has a bad day. The defense should be able to have the same comfort in the offense that the offense has in the defense. Most of the pieces are in place for an offense with those capabilities. Some of them are just young and need development. Other than a WR with some size and quality hands on the outside, to help move Boldin into the slot, there is not much more that is really needed, talent wise, for this offense.
The question is whether or not Cam Cameron will get the offense to that level."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

Re: Cam is Staying but Must Hire a QB Coach, per The Sun
That is my biggest fear Ex.
When the Packers won the SB their D was one of the best in the league...1 year later their D dropped significantly. It's not like they don't have good players on their squad...it just happens. Not every year is like the last and not ever week is like the last.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Cam is Staying but Must Hire a QB Coach, per The Sun
I usually do not advocate this sort of thing, but I would not mind if Bisciotti made the final decision here and got rid of Cameron. I have to admit, I think that Cameron is getting some of his orders from Harbaugh, who is just trying to think of the best way to win. The issue is not whether or not he has been right. It is clear that he 'has' been right, far more often than not. However, it's just not a good way to develop an offense. Anything could happen next year to damage this defense. Your offense shouldn't have the mentality that, 'Uh Oh, we have to step up now'. It should go into every game with the mentality that no prisoners will be taken, because that is the mentality that has made the defense what it is today.
