Flacco shows impatient fanbase that he is the man

Flacco is just another Boller. Put Bulger in! Flacco can’t take this team to the next level. He has no personality. He doesn’t care! He’s not a leader!

Flacco heard it all after his performance against Cincinnati. He didn’t play well, and no one, especially Flacco, would dispute that.

The talk radio lines were fired up, message boards crashing, fans panicking – what is wrong with Joe Flacco?

So you mean it was just a bad game? No way!

Joe Flacco went 22/31 yesterday against the Browns for 262 yards, 3 TD’s, and 0 turnovers.

I would say that at least 3 of those incompletions consisted of Joe throwing the ball away because no one was open; a fact that 70,000 fans seemed to not understand yesterday when Flacco was getting booed in the first quarter.

The bottom line is that Flacco showed in week 3 what he is capable of. He showed that he has the talent to be a top QB in this league.

Flacco proved to all of Baltimore what he can do when he has just a little bit of a time to throw, receivers getting open, and an offensive coordinator that actually called plays based on what was unfolding throughout the game.

I hope the fans that called for Marc Bulger watched the game, and now understand why Flacco is the man in Baltimore.

Flacco is much younger than Bulger, and he has a much higher ceiling than Marc. Most of all, he’s just better. That should never have been disputed.

Flacco is a good quarterback right now, with the potential to be a great one. Finally, that potential can be realized now that the Ravens got him some weapons.

Let’s let him use them. Let Joe show us what he can do. He did on Sunday.

Of course, there will be fans that say that it was just the Browns. I actually heard one fan calling in to a show saying that now Flacco has to prove that he can perform on the road against playoff caliber teams.

You mean like he did last year at Pittsburgh when he was 13/25 for 166 yards, 2 TD’s, 1 INT, with Mason dropping Joe’s potential 3rd (and game-tying) TD?

Or as he did in week 6 last season at the then 5-0 Vikings when he was 28/43 for 385 yards, 2 TD’s and 0 picks? When he let yet another game-winning drive that ended in a missed field goal?

There is so much to talk about regarding he Ravens. Baltimore football fans have so much to discuss.

Anything regarding Joe Flacco being benched is not one of those topics that have any legitimacy behind them.

Joe Flacco is the man on this team; he’s the man in Baltimore.

And regardless of what some fickle, impatient “fans” (or should I say drunks) want to believe when they are sitting in the stands booing their soon to be 2-1 team in their first home game since last December, Baltimore is lucky to have him.
