RT @AdamSchefter: Ravens dismissed offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell.

by far the best news of the year they everyone had enough of his shit!!

I'm sure Caldwell will figure out how to get the linebackers to drop back quicker in coverage and keep Ed Reed from cheating out of position.

That said, this move is long overdue.

It will be interesting to find out. This is so big that it's going to leak.

If this all is true, I think it came down from the top. How does Bisciotti know what to pay Flacco if he's still attached to Cameron? Is it Cam? Is it Flacco? Is it Harbaugh? Is it 2 or 3 of the above? Maybe the next 4 games will tell us something.

Exactly. You need to eliminate variables to solve the equation.

The equation is currently something like (Flacco/Cam)*x = Joe's new contract value. Take Cam out and things get a little easier to decide.

Better late than never. They now have a 4 game window (since we're 99.9% sure to play at least one playoff game) in which to evaluate Flacco, Caldwell, and the entire offense without the anchor of Cam Cameron around their necks. No one can say if that's "enough" time, but it's something.

Phenomenal news and I commend the team for having the courage to make the right choice, even if it's late.

This has Bisciotti written ALL over it .....

Much like the Fassel firing, there does reach a point where the brass needs to step in because perceptions get skewed because of personal relationships.

But then again, Harbs brought in Caldwell so maybe it was mutual. Shit, I don't know.

I agree. This is out of character for them. I would have never thought a move like this would be made in season.

funny we had thread about Bisciotti stepping in, now we know.

Doing the happy dance!!!!!

**Benny8444** · 12-10-2012, 10:32 AM

does anyone thing Pees should be on the hot seat after the last 2 weeks or was that all on the players for alowing the middle of the field open all day.

**sandiegosean** · 12-10-2012, 10:33 AM

This defintely came from Biscuit with Ozzie's input. Cam still has two years on his contract, Harbs cant make this move unless it came from Steve.

**Wacco flacco flame** · 12-10-2012, 10:33 AM

there is a god

**Justlovemybirds** · 12-10-2012, 10:33 AM

So we can stop questioning Harbaugh's allegiance to his "friends" at least for now.

**RavenScallywag** · 12-10-2012, 10:34 AM

well, Joe, for better or worse, this is your time...

You either show it was Cam all along, or you remove any doubt.

Cam's contract expired after the season. He had no years left

The defense was a marginal factor in the teams wins and loses at the beginning of the season. With all the injuries, its become a completely non-factor. Wins now have to be earned by the offense. If the defense can keep the other team below 30 points, it will be a bonus.

So, to your rolling eyes comment: Maybe he can help the team score more that 1 TD in the second half against one of the worst pass defenses in the league.

Maybe - in the long term - he can help Flacco with his pocket awareness (and learning how to step-up) and to how to read/react to a blitz. I am not confident in these last 2 points given that it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

Agreed that this move is long overdue (and maybe too late with regards to Flacco).
