This has been a long time coming. It looked to me that the past 2 weeks Harbs finally got fed up with Cam. Especially at the end of the half.
I said it in the off season that when Jim was brought in, that he was Cam's replacement. I don't like the timing. It would have been perfect during the bye week.
I know Jim has never been a OC. But he did work with/for Peyton during his prime. He should know how to use the middle of the field. I'm confident he'll at least be able to call creative plays, use all of the route tree and trust Flacco.
Flacco hasn't liked Cam for a few years now. Remember when Zorn was let go and how unhappy he was about it.
Moving forward this season will be very telling for Joe and this offense. How do they respond to a coaching change in week 14? Will they player harder knowing jobs are on the line, even for a winning team? Will the offensive production change dramaticly?
Are good questions IMO that we all are very eager to find out the answers.
After Sunday's loss I was very emotional. I think I posted "fuck this team. fuck them all". While I would never want my team to lose out like some. There was a feeling that I've had enough. Had enough of the under performing, bad clock management, bad play calling, scheme etc. There's just too much inconsistency week to week quarter to quarter. I have huge doubts about this team going forward, even with this coaching change. If anything changing OCs now could possibly make the offense more inconsistent. The Ravens are a virtual lock to make the playoffs...but I have huge doubts about what this team is capable of and how far their go.
