What exactly makes him any better than the qb he replaced? Mediocre accuracy, mediocre pocket prescience, mediocre to horrible decision making. The last consistently good season he put together was either 2009 or 2010.Flacco is a hoe
He really isFlacco is a hoe
He's nothing special. Look at his résumé since 2013. If we could cut him loose and move on without a huge cap hit then it would be the best choice going forward aside from purging this coaching staff. He makes bad decisions with the ball, has mediocre pocket awareness, misses open guys all the time both in the meaning of not seeing them or missing the throw.yeah replace flacco lets see how that works out for us
Breh you know i been the biggest Flacco supporter on here but he has been average at best 3 out of the last 4 yearsyeah replace flacco lets see how that works out for us
It really does seem like they're not coached up well in every way...O, D, ST, the whole thing. There's just something fundamentally off about this team. I'm far from the Fire Harbs camp, but whether that's on him or not, he's got to address it either way.
I disagree about us lacking young talent
I agree
Joe consistently misses guys, overthrows guys, throws off his back foot when there's no rush, always throws to a checkdown when they're covered and it'll result in a loss instead of throwing at their feet for an incompletion to at least save the yardage. He's had one good season since 2011 (his 2014 campaign, and even that was just average to above average). His performance warranted a benching last year and in 2013. He was never worth that deal he got and if keeping him meant the biggest contract in league history, then Ozzie should have had the good sense to let him walk. He still struggles to complete over 60% of his passes in a league where average is 63-65%. He's never thrown for 4000 yards in a league where Matthew stafford has thrown for 5000. He's never thrown for 28 touchdown passes in a 9 year career. In his 2008-2011 playoffs and 2014 playoff run combined, he completes 56% of his passes with a yards per attempt under 7 with just 14 scores to 12 picks, with key mistakes that have cost us games too (the pick six in the 2008 afc title game, all the third quarter turnovers in the 2010 divisional round, not running for the first down in the 2011 afc title game, throwing into double coverage in the end zone down 4 with the team easily driving and plenty of time left on the clock with no pass rush pressuring him on the throw). We've seen the best of this guy already. Unless you have consistently good coaching, a good running game, and a great defense, your ceiling with him is 6-8 wins.
Using a high pick on some defensive backs and receivers instead of always waiting until the fifth round would be nice.
