Only 1 INT in past 4 games.

Joe's TD to int ratio in the red zone is almost perfect -- for several years running. Those are exactly the sorts of things the bashers choose to ignore. So be it.

Apparently winning isn't all that it's purported to be.

you guys are such sensitive babies. Isn't it about time you guys just grow up? Flacco is inconsistent. Does that hurt your feelings? Does that make me a Joe basher? The whole league knows he is inconsistent. Flacco knows he is too inconsistent. He has to know it. He isn't stupid. He knows he has to do better than 8 touchdowns and 5 interceptions during his last 8 games. His stats PROVE he is inconsistent. How can you little purple kool aid drinking babies look at his game play and not think he is inconsistent from one game to the next? I mean, I can guarantee you that if Flacco was asked about his game play he would be the first to tell you he needs to be more consistent. OriginalColtsFan knows why Flacco is inconsistent and that has to do with Cam's play calling. OCF sees the differences between Cam's play calling on the road vs. at home but he refuses to tell us what those differences are. I sure would like to know what they are just so I can be on board the Cam hater's train but he wants to keep it his own little secret. Why is that? I thought Flacco was going to have a break out year this year. I was wrong but I still think he can take us to the big dance. It's just that we will need him to be consistent throughout the playoffs. You never know what you are going to get with him.

Yeah, tell that to Alex Smith

[RavingManiac]

I don't think most of you guys are aware that there are like somewhere around 14 or 15 starting quarterbacks in the league that have a better rating than Flacco. These include Josh Freeman, Russell Wilson, Alex Smith. He is an average qb with flashes of greatness. He is 17th in the league in touchdowns thrown. He has 2, count them, 2 more touchdowns than Mark Sanchez despite throwing the ball 40 more times. I don't know how you guys KNOW what Flacco would do without Cameron because Cam is all Flacco has ever known. Would his stats sky rocket with a different O.C.? Perhaps but we don't know that. Anybody who says otherwise is just full of crap. It's impossible to know. If you go by what we do know, again, an average qb with flashes of greatness.

[Captain Spaulding]

Breaking news, this just in: Joe Flacco doesn't put up better numbers because he has so many Baltimore Sun forum members hanging off his nutsack!

I will say that he does manage to not lose us games, he is very good at that. Very Good? Yes! Elite? No...

I understand that makes me know very little about football along with all the others that criticize him such as Peter King, etc etc etc...

Everyone knows that Cameron sux, I wish that they'd let Joe take the handcuffs off and try calling his own plays. I'd be very interested in the result...

Yeah you can't say for sure but judging by Drew Brees and Philip Rivers stats the year after they got away from that bum Cameron and it definitely makes for discussion. I truly believe Cameron is one of the worst coaches in NFL history and his incompetence has arguably cost Flacco and the team at least one ring

[West Chester Raven]

Yeah, tell that to Alex Smith

Exactly. I mean - Smith rocks, right? Nope - he doesn't. Which is why he isn't a starter.

Didn't we see an audible last week? I thought Harbaugh's head was going to twist off.

LOL!! That is some seriously funny sheet! I'd rather be hanging off it than kissing it like a couple other guys on our board.

C'mon man. Worst in NFL history?

Well Rivers only played for one full season under Cam. His rating was a 92. Not too shabby for your first season as the starter. His rating actually dropped after Cam left to 82.

[BiggSeth]

Alex Smith is not a fair comparison.

Flacco can and does make throws that 95% of QBs in the history of the NFL could not make. He has a big-time arm, and good accuracy.


Lots of throws he makes "look bad" but if you watch a replay, he is sticking with a target as long as he can, then putting the ball in a place that only his target could get to. Granted they would be incredible catches (see Torrey Smith in OT last week) or just overthrows.

Smith's replacement (Coppernik or however you spell it) has a bigtime arm as well. Is he on the level of Flacco, I haven't seen enough to decide, but he has a better arm than Smith.

Joe Flacco wins games. That's all that matters.

IF Coppernik (??) starts losing, or gets a case of the "rookies" in the playoffs, you will see Smith back under center.

Which would YOU as a fan prefer??

9-2 with a firm grasp on your division and a home track in the playoffs

OR

a QB with a 125 rating playing on a losing team???

Joe Flacco wins games, that is all that matters....
