Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
This. His two main "go to" guys are gone. The running game has been shit. The O-line has clearly regressed. Yet all we hear about is how Joe regressed, as if he lives in a bubble because of his big contract. All it shows me is people who make those comments have no concept of how all the pieces fit together. And the real irony is...despite all of this, the Ravens could still be above .500 if they had a head coach who knew what he was doing on the sideline.

Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
it wouldn't be a bad idea...hell, I'd bring Zorn back if he works well with Caldwell.
Honestly, Caldwell was a great coach for Flacco, but moving to OC, he has too much on his plate to work hands on with Flacco. Another benefit of a QB coach is that QB coach can be the guy in Flacco's ear with Caldwell in the booth, basically being the link from Joe to Caldwell. This is something that didn't happen with Cam, because Cam was a sideline OC..

Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
because bad habits are mutually exclusive from the other 10 players on the field? I forgot this wasn't a team sport. I'm sure bad habits don't get compounded by free pass rushers coming through the middle, 2.8 ypc RBs that get no defensive attention causing teams to stack their secondary, and WRs that were either undrafted, cut or brought in a few weeks before the season opener, some well on the wrong side of 30. Yeah Joe has some horrible habits.

Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
if you read the article and see the stills, you will know what the OP posted about. Predetermining reads, staring down receivers and trying to execute a play that isnt there. It has cost the team this year.

Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
They undoubtedly do. However a quarterback in his sixth year should not still be making rookie mistakes. He has always locked onto his primary receiver, and he rarely if ever looks off defenders. These are things that he should have progressed from long ago. Until today I didn't realize how much he predetermined before the snap where the ball was going and forced it anyway. With increased freedom to operate in this offense, he definitely should not be doing this.

Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
predeterming read = not trusting OL.
Staring down WRs = not trusting WR = forcing plays.
Again, they are saying the EXACT same things in Atlanta. Pretty amazing that two different QBs have the same exact bad habits.
Or...they have the same exact scenarios: poor OL, poor run support, loss of established/trusted pass catchers. All of which hit at the same exact time for a perfect trifecta of QB killing cocktail.

Re: Flacco's Bad Habit
Right. What is more plausible, that both Ryan and flacco have regressed to pre-rookie form, or they have no protection, no run support and no weapons.
Two QBs drafted in the first rd, with established 5 year track records, each with $100M contracts, suddenly pull a switcheroo and turn into garbage? Riiiiighhtttt.....
