How to deal with Flacco 

Post#1 » by miller31time » Wed May 28, 2008 10:17 pm

How will the Ravens handle Joe Flacco in this upcoming season? Is there any shot at all that he starts from day one or are we going to bring him along nice and slow, maybe playing him 3-5 games near the end of the year?

Also, what are you expecting out of him this season? Can he come in and contribute a net positive in the games he plays? Will he be a good fit in our offense?

Just curious to hear peoples' opinions on this.

I see him as a project. No need to play him for at least a year. What I keep asking myself is how is he better than Trent Edwards whom we could have had in the third last year.

I think I heard on ESPN a couple of days ago, the likely startling QB in Baltimore is between Boller and Troy Smith right now, they were saying Smith has really improved since last season.

But don't be surprised if Flacco starts later in the season.

this has nothing to do with this really, but i read that flacco is rated 1 point higher in madden than boller.


i found that kind of interesting

He's a starter next year or the year after that.
