I'm glad there's a rift, because that means Flacco isn't ignorant to the situation, and that he is seeing the same stuff that we're seeing. Cam is apparently the only one who doesn't get it. Two ways too look at this so called "rift" 1. Joe has taken the next step in becoming this teams field general. A general will voice his opinion at whoever. Manning does this all the time. 2. Cam is clueless. I think we can exclude #2, Cam is a good OC and Im glad Joe is stepping up to voice his opinion, after all Joe is the one out there reading these defenses. So yes, this IS a step towards eliteness. Since 2000 only one other player in the NFL has more YAC than Q, and that would be Steve Smith.. So we have a QB that is taking the next step to solidify that this is HIS team, now we have 2, A-1 Quality receivers that both averaged over 1000 yards last season. If this isnt a step towards eliteness, I dont know what is.
