I have to put a * next to Keenum.
Stats are for people who didnt watch the game. Stats are deceiving. They are not the be all end all.
Keenums stats aren't too bad... unless you watched any of thw games last year.

The point I'm trying to make that is getting twisted into me saying Flacco is the son of an Elway/Favre/Marino test tube is that people keep beating a "he's a middling QB" drum and I'm saying I PRAY he's middling because middle would be a MASSIVE improvement over where we were.
I'm not saying he is, was, will be, etc.... but if we get AVERAGE QB production it would be a ridiculously huge improvement.
I think the point mo is getting at though, statistically they've been the same. Most QBs don't just magically improve upon their historical average. Keenum and flacco have been statistically very similar over the last three years. Flacco also leads the league for the last three seasons I'm passes thrown shorter than the first down markers.
All that has to be taken into account before flacco is considered a "vast improvement" on paper, it's marginal at best. How much of an improvement he'll be is entirely dependent on his level of play this year and that obviously is yet to be seen.
I wasn’t trying to hammer you or say you weren’t aware of Flacco’s performance last year which led to his benching, I was just putting it out there that he wasn’t middling last year, he was bad. I agree, I’d love to see a middling quarterback (Joe Flacco from five years ago).
I’m just not doing this thing again where I get excited about shit quarterback play.
The hope here is that Flacco realizes this is his tryout and he flashes some of what he was five years ago.
I'm not even a little excited about Flacco. I hope this year goes like his last. I hope we draft a guy that winds up taking his job (either through play or not) and he gets to watch the rookie lead a playoff drive.
But if he can be middle of the road it'll be a big improvement.
