Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
I want everybody head on platter (Ozzie, Harbaugh, Morhenmeth and Flacco)...until then I'm only here for the comments.

Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
Why a "complimentary" offense isn't as good as a "complementary" offense. With the former, you have something like this:
Joe Flacco: "Hey, Chris Moore, nice catch you almost made there."
Chris Moore: "Thanks, Joe. It wasn't so hard, I mean, that pass of yours came within five feet of me, nice work! Especially since you threw off your back foot. Again"
Flacco: "Aw, you're makin' me blush, man! By the way, Ken Dixon, awesome job on not getting suspended this year. High five, bro!"
Dixon: "I got your back, bro. Which is to say, you'll be on your back if I have to pick up blitzers. But anyway, nice haircut this year!"
Flacco: " Well, shucks. Hey Marty, your play calling has been fantastic! Replacing those 3 yard passes with 4 yard passes - genius!! Gives Sam an extra yard to work with on his punts."
MM: "Aw Joe, people wouldn't be saying all these great things about me if it weren't for you. Hey, that's a great picture of your kids, by the way!"
Joe: "Wow, so many compliments. I hope we can run this offense just the way it is forever and ever. Or at least until my contract runs out. Whaddaya think, John?"
John Harbaugh: "You're great, Joe. You're great, Marty. You're great, Chris. All you Mighty Men are great. Compliments to everyone! And continuity. Don't forget continuity. Isn't that right, owner Steve Biscotti?"
Biscotti: "I may have to re-think this whole being the Ravens owner thing".

Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
Stats would matter if the Ravens Front office and coaching staff gave him any type of consistency of coaching or decent weapons. Our #1 WR for the last however many years has been another team's castoff. Let that sink in. We are literally grabbing players other teams are cutting to be our #1 wr. Anquan Boldin who has not been here since 2012 was the last #1 WR that we did not get from the cut list and he was his team #2 wr. We have changed OCs so often it is remarkable that we have had the same HC. How big of a drop off did Matt Ryan have this year after losing Shanahan as his OC? Significant.
I have no problem moving on from Flacco. I would love for the Ravens to move on from him this year. I would love to see Flacco get a chance to go to an organization that has good coaching and places an emphasis on offensive personnel. I would love see posters like you start blaming the coaching staff when their shiny new toy at QB sputters with this team's crappy approach to offense.

Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
Wow. I did not know there was such a disparity between Flacco's deep left and deep right passes. And his deep center passing is almost ZERO?
I'm definitely going to pay closer attention to what side of the field his deep throws are this season.
Also what the heck happened to his trademark 15 yard out passes???

Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
At the end of the day, this isn't about Flacco. This is past the implication that he's wanted gone. This is about the future. Do we want to keep having to moan and groan about the offense every season or do we actually want an offense that takes guns to gun fights for once. Now, a complementary offense doesn't necessarily have to suck. It's potential is just capped. So, with this next QB, if he doesn't meet or exceed expectations, fans need to be able to identify what their expectations were. If you want a complementary offense, then there should be no wonder why the new QB doesn't become an elite QB.

Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
So your answer to us having an offense that can light it up every week is to keep Flacco
Rebuilding the offense is going to be a process that doesn't have to start right away with throwing a rookie QB in. He can sit for a year while he learns and we prepare him around a better group of receivers.

Re: The Baltimore Ravens Fanbase needs to make up its mind.
What the Ravens 'fan base' wants is a killer O that hangs up 35 points a game, never gets into 3rd situations and is complemented by a killer D that hold opponents in their in their own territory with repeated 3 and outs after KO's go through the end zone.
THAT IS WHAT FANS WANT. Reality is something different.

The fans want to win. The fans want better blocking, WRs that can actually catch and get open.
But most importantly the fans don’t want another Flacco thread started by you.
