Aftermath Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) We could have this guy as our QB instead of Ryanhttp://www.nfl.com/n..._headline_stackJoe Flacco's playful tug of war with Baltimore's coaching staff wages on, with the quarterback lobbying reporters this week to urge coordinator Cam Cameron to spice up the offense.Flacco's thinking goes like this: After the Ravens were earlier this year for throwing the ball all over the place -- to shaky results -- a more conservative approach was adopted in spots down the stretch. For example, gingerly nursing a second-half lead in Saturday's over the Browns.If the media had any sway earlier this season, Flacco hopes they'll turn on the charm one more time."There (have) been games this year where we've come out throwing the ball because we've been down a lot, and you guys have all complained about it," Flacco . "And now this week (against the Browns), we came out and we honestly played conservative, and when we didn't, we missed a couple of plays."I wish you guys would help me out a little bit and start complaining that we played a little bit too conservative and put pressure on our coaches not to do that."Cameron took Flacco's hints in jest, , via : "Number one, I'm not going to listen to anything you guys say. But, no, we'll listen to what Joe has to say. I almost thought of telling Joe, 'Those words are hurtful. You're not coming to the pancake social.' "As The Sun points out, unleashing Flacco promises mixed results. He's tied for fourth in the NFL with 11 fumbles this season (to go with his 12 interceptions), making a heavy dose of the safe choice in Baltimore's .The guy has a heck of an arm, but that is about it.

FalconJim Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'll take Ryan, ALL DAY, over Floppo. He's smarter, and has all the intangibles, in my opinion. Nice article.....thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I remember Florio flapping his gums early on about Flacco vs. Ryan and essentially suggesting Flacco was better. He sure did get quiet on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilleniumFalcon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Flacco has a nice arm but he's not cerebral like Matt Ryan, Flacco has to be spoon fed by Cameron... while Ryan has complete autonomy and can fully control the offense when warranted.

Flying Falcon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We need a mobile QB who dont stare down his WRs. Not someone who's shell shocked like David Carr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Flacco is not fit to shine Ryans shoes ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
