cmacarolle21 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think it's hard for us to make the claim that Flacco got ripped off for Rookie of the year. He had a worse QB rating then ryan in the playoffs and in the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCEagles Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I say we draft Matt Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceEight Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 He's just stating the facts. If I went around complaining about Carson and his poor stats this year and how they invalidate his successes, would I be in the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmacarolle21 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I tolerated Flacco not losing games but, he never won the game for us. He lost 2 out of the 3 Steelers games that we played including one of the biggest games in franchise history. Of course he's going to hear it he deserves it.

yagersports Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 That seems ridiculous considering Flacco maybe just had one of the most impressive rookie seasons ever. Whew........tough crowd. What Flacco deserves is admiration for handling his rookie season like a vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearSrai Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I can't wait to see the backlash on Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez when their teams finish 3-13 next season. Apparently rookie quarterbacks are expected to win Super Bowls now. And if they fall one game short of the big one, their fans consider the season a disappointment.

BMoreHon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 yeah I am not getting this. I think everyone expected Flacco to be a 2 or 3 year project. Instead he stepped in and did WIN a game or two for us. How about that comeback in Cleveland? Also you got to think about the style of football Baltimore has played and will continue to play until our defense sucks; that style is run the ball, manage the game and don't make mistakes. Flacco did that and then some. Pittsburgh has an A+ defense. I am surprised he scored the points he did! Ryan was drafted with the intention of starting day one. Different expectations so you can't compare the two. I look forward to years to come. Flacco and Ryan will be the next Brady and Manning. Hopefully Flacco is Brady and Ryan is Manning...I want more Super Bowl rings than MVP awards!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinmaniac52 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Don't be to hard on the guy. Didn't we let the Super Bowl Winning QB go? He wasn't good enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmacarolle21 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I just think everyone is looking at how many wins we had and giving all too much credit to Flacco. We won 13 with Boller why wouldn't we be able to win 11 with an average QB with virtually the same team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He barely has 13 wins in his entire career... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Right, McNair won those 13... almost all of them, I think he was out for a few games. Between our 12 win Super Bowl season and our 13 win 2006, I don't think we ever topped 10 wins, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boller spelled him in the 4th quarter of two of them, though. For what it's worth, Boller was 5-4 in his rookie season. Flacco was 6-3, with a markedly better team.

McNair started all 16 (plus a playoff game) that season... you may remember that he got injured in a few games and didn't finish, like against Carolina (which we lost...that's the one where Boller had two TD passes that were deflected into the air, then caught by Mark Clayton) You're right to say that we never won more than 10 between 2000 and 2006... 2001: 10 2002: 7 2003: 10 2004: 9 2005: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
