Just the idea that Baltimore ran Eddie Murray out of town and are now ready to do the same to Flacco.

Got it, makes sense now. And it's true that you don't realize what you had until it's gone. Although in Joe's case, I could see him retiring rather than playing for another team. The only exception I'd think would be the Eagles, Redskins, or one of the New York teams, since it's close to home, and Joe is known to be a homebody that values being close to family. Not to mention, he has already made enough money to support his family for the next few generations, assuming he invests well.

Joe Flacco David Carr'd? Really? the excuses really never end for this guy do they?

I dont understand how people can be so defensive of him when he has fleeced their favorite team out of millions of dollars and 5 years of Football. Whatever.

Name the QB who could have succeeded under these circumstances.
I'll help you by naming them.

Aaron Rodgers.

My, what a short list.

Baltimore is where QBs go to die.
Even Rodgers would have had a hard time staying healthy here.

David Carr sucked under pressure he was jittery. If your saying Flacco is the same way i Agree. But the argument he has been pressured so much that he is feeling phantom pressure is a joke. Since 2012 Flacco has been pressured at exactly the league average. If he is feeling Phantom pressure after being pressured at the league average rate than that is a character flaw on his part.

Under these Circumstances? You make it seem like we have an all time shit offense when that just isnt the case. I could name 20+ high school qbs who could have thrown for more than 28 yards in that entire football game. I could name 50 Qb's who could somehow manage not to throw a pick in ten consecutive games. I could name 100's of Qb's who could learn to not throw of their back foot and I can name 30 NFL Qb's that could actually maneuver in the pocket to maybe help out the offensive line a bit instead of standing still like a pylon or better yet running into the rush.

Know one would know who Tom Brady is today if the Ravens drafted him.

I'm done with Flacco unless he turns it around. Brady is not a Dan Marino or John Elway type gifted with a canon arm. Look at Brady's combine tape, you would not think he is a football player.

If Brady was drafted by an organization as dysfunctional as the Ravens have been in recent years, do you think he develops into a star? He was a sixth round draft pick, if the Patriots knew Brady was an all time great he gets drafted in the first round.

They're now rotating in guards, like this is the NBA, because they're not sure who should play and it's week 4.
They haven't had a RB since Ray Rice got fat then banned (except for the Kubiak year with Forsett)
They can't keep the same WR for more than 3 years under Harbs (the exception: Torrey who they kept for 4)
Which is compounded because they can't draft or develop WRs to compensate for the constant turnover.
They've had 5 different OC's since 2012. Which means all the players, not just Joe, have had to learn at least 5 different playbooks.
They keep switching the blocking scheme from man to zone to stretch to trap to...
They keep losing their best offensive players to injury, FA, suspension, retirement...
They keep overdrafting defense, blowing most of those picks, then expecting to get by with whatever table scraps they can scrounge for the offense.
There's a clear disconnect between the scouts/FO & the coaches.
The coaches are frustratingly, stubbornly slow to adjust.
They preach continuity, but do they practice it?

And you think this is normal in the NFL?
You think QBs can succeed with this much dysfunction?
OK, so name which ones you think can handle all this and not suck or get hurt too.
