Even After Winning Super Bowl XLVII, Ravens STILL Get No Respect

[TonyD79]

I think Jim is a very good young coach. He has had a lot of success wherever he has gone. However, coaching in the NFL is a whole lot different than coaching in college but I am fairly certain Jim will grow into the role. John is a much better coach now than he was 3 years ago, IMHO. Jim will probably improve as well.

I don't disagree. I am not saying Jim is a bad coach. I think he is way too emotional. Funny, I watched him a lot at Stanford and I don't recall him being anything like he was last night. That was out of control.

What I am saying is that John is much better. He has made mistakes but he almost never repeats a mistake. And his demeanor is perfect. He remains in control of one of the most individually motivated teams in all of sport, allowing freedom and incorporating players ideas while staying the man in charge. All keeping a good face on. He gets mad but he handles it pretty well.

Staying calm in situations is why you outcoach someone who does not stay calm. Jim was too busy having a heart attack over calls so he didn't coach up his team to watch for the safety. John tends to move on to the next task even when he is upset.

Wow, Tim Hasselbeck CRUSHED Joe Flacco today. I just heard the sound byte - he even went as far as to say that Luck, Griffin, and Russel Wilson are better quarterbacks, and that Flacco shouldn't have even won a superbowl because of the non-call.

Colin Cowherd actually says he sounds cranky mid-way through the interview.

On the bright side, Jonathan Coachman stated that he'd take Flacco over every QB not named Aaron Rodgers right now. I'm not sure I'd go that far, but that's some serious respect.

I really hate Tim Hasselback. He asks "What does elite mean, top 7 or top 10?" Glad there was no debate concerning this about Tim when he was playing LOL

[AnonymousTerpsFan]

The crap spewing out of Tim's mouth is literally making me sick. This guy is the biggest joke in the analyzing world right now, a washout who passes judgement on the very best players in the game today.

It really was pretty incredible. It's like winning the Super Bowl does absolutely nothing in the minds of some people.

He's just really bitter because his brother Matt got ALL of the QB talent!

F*#k "respect". The Ravens are world champions, Flacco is a Super Bowl MVP, they don't need respect from any media hacks.
