matt stafford really sucks. ive never been huge on him but damn, he's so fucking mediocre.

Agreed. The only teams with "great" potential are in the AFC. New England and Denver, and I'm having a hard time imagining either winning the Super Bowl with their current weaknesses.
 

What's our current weakness that would prevent us from winning a Super Bowl? We have one of the best defenses in the league, and a Tom Brady/Rob Gronkowski led offense. New England should be the #3 favorites to win it all, with Seattle #1 and Green Bay #2

And Manziel died

Wide Receiver. It's something that can be overcome but I think there are other teams that match up with New England really well.
 
My AFC Champion pick is Pittsburgh if they get in.

Matt Stafford is getting outplayed by Jimmy Clausen.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Teddy Bridgewater has gone from looking overmatched to easily the best rookie QB in this class. Not that that says much, but he has surpassed Derek Carr, without question.

 

[BwareDWare94]

There aren't many games in which Matt Stafford doesn't get outplayed.

 

[BwareDWare94]

So are the Ravens looking for a new quarterback yet? Joe Flacco is a joke.
 
Also, Chase Ford scored a goddamn touchdown. I hate these stupid review rules. They're making it impossible for officials to make the correct call.

 

[BwareDWare94]

My god, Minnesota just got screwed out of 4 points.

 

[elcheato]

Would Oakland trade the first pick if they get it and stick with Carr? Is this an option?

This comment is so laughable I can't even begin.
 
And I'm not even a big Flacco fan.

Have you been watching Baltimore? He has regressed terribly. They struggle to score and it's primarily because of him. He's got weapons. He's got an offensive line. He's got some nice running backs. There are no excuses for him.

 

[elcheato]

 
He will never be the same.

You realize we are going to have three receivers with 1000+ yards receiving at seasons end, right? Edelman and LaFell are at 900+ yards currently and Gronk is over with 12 TDs

Between Gronk, Edelman, LaFell, Amendola, Wright, and Vereen, our passing game is perfectly fine. You can't think of an offense as an absolute- we run a 2 TE base where we start two 900+ yard receivers on the outside. Don't know how that's a weakness, at all.


Our only weakness is our OL, and we've made it far with a worse line before

You have no idea what you're talking about. Baltimore is my team... yes I watch them. This is his best full season as a pro by far. He's been much improved this year. It's pretty clear you don't watch him play enough. Outside of the SB run in 2013 he was never a great QB. He's been top 10 in the league this year. 

Career high in Comp%
Career high in YPA
2 TD's away from a career high in Pass TD
Career high in QBR (not a stat i really buy into but some people here support it)
Career high in passer rating
 
Smarten up

Stats can be misleading. He is not playing well lol. All a person has to do is watch a few games. I do when I can. He's stats are accumulated the usual things--prayer bombs to either Smith, etc, etc. He's great in some games, but most of the time he's mediocre to downright shitty. 
 
What is Joe Flacco's career high QB total? 25? Middle. of. the. road.
 
I was a Flacco fan. He's lost me over the past 2 years. 

 

[elcheato]

Prayer bombs? When you can consistently hit deep passes they're not prayers 

 

[elcheato]

I picked up Jordan Cameron off waivers this morning to start in place of Kyle Rudolph, and he just caught an 81 yard touchdown

He has his flaws. He's not an elite QB but there's no reason Baltimore would replace him considering he's better than 2/3rds of the starting QB's in the NFL and he's still got many good years left in him.

Regardless, career highs across the board doesn't point to him having a bad year at all. I don't think you've watched the Ravens play this year at all except maybe today. He's played shitty today but you're just "cherry-picking" on that.
