    Ya, I'm sure Jon Gruden, Super Bowl-winning coach with an ego to match, is going to be an assistant for a special-teams guy.
     
  2. Joe flacco was outplayed by steeler qbs twice this season and neither were named Ben roethlisberger. If anyone thinks he is borderline elite, they either don't watch him play or don't know what an elite qb is.

    Probably not an assistant.

    Back to the Raiders? http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-jon-gruden-raiders-20121205,0,4012770.story

    This female thought it was a great analogy.

    Flacco sucks. He's a top 15 quarterback (if that) and nowhere even close to elite.

    Other than MC's nine, I'd take Stafford, Romo, Rivers, Newton, Wilson and maybe even Alex Smith over him.

    Joe Flacco is one of the most overrated players in football. I cringe at how bad he'd be without that defense and Rice as a safety valve.

    That's tremendously old news. Raiders issued a denial -- and quite an entertaining one, noting that because of the reporter's lack of morals, Dennis Allen was taking calls about his job status while determining whether to take his dad off life support.

    I'm still trying to understand the Ravens' mindset here. They lose a game where the offense scores 28 points, and it's the OC's fault? And the quarterback's? Their defense and special teams lost that game, and their defense has been mediocre all year, but it's Flacco getting the heat? People have quarterbacks on the brain.

    he's Sanchez. Put Sanchez on the Ravens and they are 9-4

    16 of 21 and 3 TDs (19, 31, 14 yards) and a 121 rating puts Flacco into the sucky class of QB.

    Please, for the love of God, stop making positive references to the Ravens defense. It is not good and hasn't been for a while. Stop it.

    In fairness to Flacco, he plays on a defense-first team. Going back to the Billick Super Bowl team in 2001, the club's philosophy was been to win with defense, play it close to the vest on offense and don't give the game away.

    Now, I don't consider Flacco to be a Tom Brady or Peyton Manning and if you ask him to drop back and throw it 40-50 times a game, you are probably going to be in trouble. But even if the Ravens had a Brady or Manning or Drew Brees, I don't think the QB puts up big numbers with their philosophy.

    As long as Flacco's interception numbers stay low, they are getting what they ask for. In that respect, he's similar to Alex Smith. So if you dump Flacco, who are you going to get that is better FOR YOUR SYSTEM?
