Okay so week 1 went by, hopes high, week 2 went by hopes low, week 3 around the corner.....replaying the last two weeks in my head got me thinking, wait wait wait.....joe flacco, this guy is not a vet, this guy played in division II, this guy was rated an F during the draft by many guys when the ravens drafted him high.....hes killed us 2 years in a row in the preaseason and we play him again week 10 or 11. How did this franchise turn around so quickly, they weren't bad, but they weren't also superbowl contending, then i found this little tidbit of information....

Two years ago, the Ravens had no intention of making then-rookie Joe Flacco the opening-day starter, due to concerns about the quality of the offensive line, the lack of competition, and throwing the boy into the wolves.... But Troy Smith came down with tonsilitis, and Flacco went the distance in a Week 3 preseason game against the rams....the rest is history.

Why couldn't that be us?

Obvious Moore/Clausen aint ready crap

Are you implying that any team that drafts a QB from a D2 school or better should start him immediately for fear of regretting the decision to start a veteran over a rookie even though the organization doesn't feel that said rookie is the best QB on the roster because one time in the history of the NFL it worked out for the team in question? Because that's what it sounds like you are saying.

The way I see it, in the NFL today there are only 4 ways to not have your teams choice of QB be called into question. Here they are:

1. Have a QB named Peyton Manning

2. Have a QB named Tom Brady

3. Have a QB named Drew Brees

4. Win a Super Bowl

Otherwise, a team's decision is always the wrong one.

#1 through #3 apply to #4, so you've only really given us one way to not have your QB selection called into question... which is to win a Superbowl.

And to that point, OF COURSE this is a way to not have your QB selection called into question. The QB is one of the most visible positions in the game.

And chances are, if he isn't getting it done, you aren't going to win the big one. And this will of course lead to discussions about replacing him.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
