That was not my argument. I have said that he has been limited by poor QB play. He can't throw the ball to himself.
No, you said he has been no value. 1,000 yards receiving (and 100 catches, which he is always near) is still a great accomplishment. You may be thinking of 1,000 yards rushing, which has been devalued.
-
No. I have seen that Fitz becomes of no value when he has no QB to get him the ball.
It was a joke. But come on...look at Fitzgerald's stats over the years. He's only had under 1000 yards and 80 receptions once since his rookie year, with all sorts of QB's. Guy's an uncoverable beast.
-
In any case, Joe clearly has proved himself over time. He's not Brady, but he's also not Fitz.
I'd rather have Larry Fitzgerald than Flacco, tbh.

Excellent news. I think. .....

There are definitely some guys on that list I'd like to bring in, with the new kickoff rules

We've made the playoffs four years in a row, as a team, and Flacco has also been a major contributor to our season-ending losses. Let's not forget the interception he threw in the fourth quarter of the pats game, or that there was another play after lee evan's drop where he couldn't convert the first down (and we had a timeout, as we know).
Let's not forget the second-half collapse against Pittsburgh last year, that flacco (and rice) contributed heavily to. Or the costly strip-sack from Polamalu a few years back, when everyone in the stadium knew he was coming.
Flacco is above-average, he's good, he has clunkers a lot more than top 5 qb's, and he has as many flubs as Romo. He just doesn't play in Dallas, and isnt held to a star quarterback standard like Romo is.
-
Well who wouldn't? Typically it's hard to obtain a guy like that, so Cundiff is a much better option than going with an unknown. If we can get a better player for the right price, that goes for any position on this team.
I don't follow kicker careers very closely, but aren't there some vets out there? I feel like good kickers are always changing teams. Even Rackers seemed more clutch to me.

Only 1 QB in the past 4 years has more wins than Bazooka Joe Flacco and thats Drew Brees, not Manning, Rogers, Brady, Dickintheforeheadslapper Ben...Nada!!!
No One in the NFL has more road playoff victories, then our own..#5 in your program, #1 in your hearts...JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FLACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Quarterbacks are not pitchers... they don't get individual win and loss records. There are 53 talented men who contribute to those wins.
I like Flacco, but going by the eyeball test, he's not as good as a lot of guys, and he's not the strength of our team. Those others are all considered strengths.
-
Ya know, after saying all that......with the kickoff being moved up......what about Stover???? hehe Just having some fun.
He's still put them at the 10... :-/
And anyone can nail field goals in the preseason... I need to know if he can nail a go-ahead field goal at the end of a playoff game. And, unfortunately for him, there's no way to know that until it's too late. Rather get a guy who has proven he can do it over time, or at the very least someone who doesn't have a track-record of missing kicks like that.
-
Bottom line is, it is all about the W+L's
That simply isn't true, Crav. Footall is a team game, and we're talking about individual players. For the TEAM, it's all about wins and losses. For the individual, there's WAY more to it than that.
-
Can he dunk from 32 yards out?
#cundiffhumor
-
Sure. I have seen it with plenty of players.
Sarcasm. Haloti Ngata finishes a long run better than McClain.
-
It took Gano time to be ready for the NFL. He was taken by the Ravens and cut before his rookie yr.
Just to clarify, Gano was an undrafted FA.
-
He was also the lead blocker. If he has that taken off his plate then he could be better.
Are you implying that McClain has fatigue issues?
(See: touchdown run against the cowboys in 2008)
-
The problem with that is Ozzie became affraid of drafting the position. Like he was scared of going WR. He let Brian talk him into getting the wrong player. From that day he was scared for what 7 yrs to go back to the well.
From what I understand, the guy Ozzie wanted was Byron Leftwich... also the wrong player.
-
If Rex Ryan's defense was last in the league, we wouldn't blame Mike Pettine...
We have a special teams guru for a head coach.
-
Correct. We know Joe feels underappreciated in the media, but I doubt he thinks he's earned top 5 money (and I don't think he's said as much, either.) We're mostly reacting to what his agent said - with both he, and with Rice.
-
AP is useless on 3rd downs, he cant catch, he comes out on 3rd downs..
I'll take Rice any day over AP, just not sure hes worth the 100 mil or not.
I don't know about all of that, but I do know I'd want a guy like AP to close out a game in the 4th quarter with a lead.
Something that, ironically, the Vikings struggled mightily with this season.
-
I don't care if we grabbed him...I just hope someone does. And hopefully someone in the NFC.
-
See, I think Rice is better than both Johnson and AP. Those two are far more one dimensional than Rice. And with AP, you get the fumbles. If AP knew what it was to go down, the Vikes would have played in a Super Bowl. Instead, Brees got his. As far as Johnson, it was obvious how in shape and dedicated to football he is. I would compare Rice to hard working all around guys like Jones-Drew and Arian Foster. Foster may not be the receiving threat, but he's money in the pass protection department. Forte is another good all around back that doesn't get the recognition.
Don't get me wrong, I think AP and CJ are great talents, I just view them as one dimensional. They don't catch well and they don't pass block well.
I definitely wouldn't call Chris Johnson one-dimensional...unless you consider game-breaking ability a single dimension... the guy catches a ton of passes for the position.
Rice catches more than he probably should because of the offense we run, and the fact that Joe checks down to him probably more than he should (and partially because of shaky pass-protection over the years)
Agreed on MJD. That guy is phenomenal, and could possibly be the top runner in the league based on what he did this year with the worst quarterback in the league.
-
But it's not so easy finding a QB is the point. If it was, everyone would have one. It's very difficult to find a good QB and now we have one. I'm not letting him go.
I don't disagree with you... it's just the principle of the matter, if we're talking about overpaying a guy. I'm sure we won't have to overpay for him... Ozzie and Co. just have to convince him that he needs to use escalator clauses to obtain top 5 money.
-
It's pretty close, I would say LB and S are a bit easier to cover than RB, although RB is up there. The problem with RB, they're very injury prone. However Ray doesn't take the hits like other RBs and he's definitely more special than most RB as well. The guy makes an offense dynamic.
If we can't pay him, we had better get some draft picks in return. At least 3 of them. One definitely being a 1st rounder.
I'm not sure good safeties are easy to replace... and we probably make linebackers look easier to replace than they really are because we have the all-time greatest teacher at that position.
If we're talking purely a tit-for-tat replacement, Rice was a late second-rounder... and he wasn't exactly underdrafted so much as that's where guys like that typically fall. Taking a RB in the second is a big deal (like LeSean McCoy, etc.)
-
Everyone is replaceable.........agreed. However it took us 10 freakin years just to find Joe in the first place. I'd rather not take another 10. How quickly people forget things.
It wasn't acceptable during that 10 year stretch, either. The organization took a ton of heat for its inability to find a halfway decent QB... we had McNair for one semi-quality season, but that was at the end of his career... we let the one consistent guy (Dilfer) walk after winning a ring... Joe is good, but he hasn't shown the type of flash that guys like Rodgers, Brees, Brady, etc. did early in their career. 4 years is a decent sample size - and while our TEAM has put together a ton of wins, you can't say right now that Joe looks like the kind of guy who will become a superstar.
-
Give me Adrian Peterson for that kind of money.
Rice is awesome, but he's not AP. He's not even Chris Johnson, tbh.
He's about as good as Forte was this year before he got hurt.
Ravens to begin talks with Flacco
in Baltimore Ravens

lol. You never quit.
Even John Shelton looked good with Fitz to throw to.
