That's the second time I've seen Offensive PI called in the NFL today. Very unusual. And that prolly just sent this to OT.
I don't understand why a lot of people think Joe Flacco is a good quarterback? He has awful pocket presence, he's horribly inaccurate most of the time, and he's one of the slowest players I've ever seen. That sack cost the Ravens a win.
What an absolutely awful sequence to end the game - Ray Rice lets Farrior sack Flacco, Flacco fumbles, and then Cundiff ends up a few yards short on the FG as a result.
It's also his second year in the league in which he's gaining experience that he didn't have playing on a team/against teams at Delaware.
Flacco played a Pittsburgh first, and there's a reason he had to transfer. He wasn't good enough to start on a FBS team. The guy has a hell of an arm, but I just don't get why he has so much support from fans. His numbers are very, very mediocre. I know he's inexperienced...I just don't see much from the guy and I never have.
Kyle Boller is basically the same type of quarterback except he's way more athletic than Flacco: incredibly arm strength Boller played behind a swiss cheese offensive line in Baltimore and made a lot of piss poor decisions. He was very overrated because of his arm strength...just like Joe.
I dunno, I lived in MD for pretty much all of the Boller years and was stuck watching the Ravens on TV every week and I can tell you without a doubt Flacco is a much more complete QB. Physically Boller was/is a specimen, but he's got pudding for brains. His lines weren't THAT bad, he just had terrible receivers, something they STILL haven't really addressed, and he had a terrible grasp for the game. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Flacco's the next coming, but he's no Boller, and thats a fact. oh, and looks like game over, oh well :-/
Yeah, I'm not trying to make a case that he's as good as billed... but he's tall, has a rocket for an arm, and a quick release which is essential to beat the elite Ds in the league. IF he does learn all the nuances of the position at this level, I don't see why he can't be a very good QB. As for now, he def has much room to grow.
