rastaman831226 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 N.E. just released QB Matt Flynn. Would anyone be opposed to bring in Flynn and dumping Shaub as backup? Quote
tsylvester Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Not a chance, at least Shaub had a few good years of play, Flynn, not so much. Quote
vmax Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 He can't even make it onto the field. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots released veteran quarterback Matt Flynn and signed former Cardinals signal-caller Ryan Lindley on Monday.Flynn, who signed a one-year deal in June to serve as New England's No. 3 quarterback behind Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo, had opened training camp on the active/non-football injury list and never passed his physical, coach Bill Belichick said. A hamstring injury kept him sidelined, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini. Belichick confirmed Monday that with preseason games coming up, the Patriots were running out of time waiting for Flynn."There's definitely something to that. We don't have forever here; the train is moving," he said.http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/13408452/new-england-patriots-release-qb-matt-flynn I am not happy with Schaub as the back up...but he's a Texan....maybe he has a Rooster Cogburn moment with the Ravens, and if he has to step up, then he comes out guns blazing.

rastaman831226 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Matt Flynn in a full body caste is an upgrade over Matt Shuab. Let's all hope Shaub never hits the field. Quote
ForceEight Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Matt Flynn wouldn't be an upgrade over a grocery store cart corral employee. Quote
tsylvester Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Matt Flynn in a full body caste is an upgrade over Matt Shuab. Let's all hope Shaub never hits the field. Bill B has resurrected many careers of players, even getting 11 wins out of Matt Cassel. If he doesn't think he can get one win out of Flynn, I have to agree Quote
RavenMad Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Flynn is a 1 game wonder. At least Schaub had a few decent seasons. I hope we won't have to rely on either for more than a few snaps of mop up duty. Quote
varaven45 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Agreed. If Schaub has to carry the team in a meaningful game, we are in deep doo-doo. Here's praying that wont happen. Quote
vmax Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I used to buy purple kool aid like this from Billick all the time....only it's Harbaugh saying it... Matt has played a lot of football, and he has played a lot of football in a system very similar to this one,” Harbaugh said. “He has seen blitzes, he has seen run adjustments, he is able to operate very effectively in this offense and get us in the right type of calls. He can throw the ball, still; he’s accurate.“I hear some of the criticism [that] he’s not throwing the ball as well as Joe [Flacco] – I will grant that – and he has had a few crazy plays out here. ... But I still stand by the fact that I believe he’s practicing very, very well. He gives us a lot as a backup quarterback. We’re going to hope we don’t need him, but if we do need him, he’s going to play well.” http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Matt-Schaub-Testing-Himself-Teammates-In-Camp/14910128-0ac2-4b69-a4ae-502d5e9314e0 We'll see Thursday night...I'll be there.

rastaman831226 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 Just read an article that states that Matt Schaub explains his many camp INT's are because he's attempting more difficult throws to get his receivers on board with his timing. My question is does that explain his many INT's in his last days in Texas and his many INT's that got him benched for a rookie in Oakland? We shall see. We shall see. Quote
Tornado700 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Schaub played pretty good last night. He did throw an interception, but even Quadry Ismael (an ex-receiver) said that Jeremy Butler was more at fault than Schaub for not being aggressive and going harder for the ball. I think Schaub is our # 2 for the duration. Quote
oldno82 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 If Schaub can continue to play like he did I'll be really impressed. Quote
rastaman831226 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 Still not convinced Schaub is the guy to run this offense in the case of a Flacco injury. I look at his body of work over the last few years and Thursdays' so so performance against the NFL's 31st worst defense as evidence. For the money he's being paid ( 4 million ), Schaub should have scorched the N.O. secondary instead of the dink and dunk show show we all witnessed. Quote

Receiver not being aggressive and going for the ball? That's a pretty lame excuse. Quote

Receiver not being aggressive and going for the ball? That's a pretty lame excuse. Actually, not an excuse at all.. On the play in question, the receiver was suppose to run a come back route, it is a timing route. The ball is thrown before the receiver makes his cut. If the receiver had run the route properly at worse it is incomplete. Dispite what many who watch games think about an interception, proper route running plays a big role. Quote

GrubberRaven Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Understood, but that in no way excuses Schaub from being the Turnover King he's been for the last few years. He's a backup... Quote
rastaman831226 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 He's a backup...He's a Turn over King. Do you have confidence in a 4 million dollar INT machine? Quote
oldno82 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 He's a Turn over King. Do you have confidence in a 4 million dollar INT machine?Actually, his cap figure this year is $2 million. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/cap/ Quote

Tornado700 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Arguuing with this guy is an effort in futility. It's like explaining something to a child, a very young one at that. He's not real bright and is wrong about most things Raven football related. Quote
