Flacco at camp

**Heap86** · 08-01-2012, 12:01 AM

What is the deal with him? from what I have heard he is a interception machine in camp so far. The elite and top 10 Qb's do not throw picks in training camp. From various tweets I have read he is throwing several picks every day of practice. I'm not high on Flacco anyway but it sounds like he is getting worse.

Regardless, the two are really feeding off each other and Flacco has been enjoying some of the best practices of his career. Receiver Anquan Boldin couldn't have drawn up a better pass than the one Flacco lofted to him in the back left corner of the end zone during a red-zone session Saturday. Granted, it's early, and yes, they're only practicing, but with Flacco coming off a season in which he posted a career-worst 57.6 completion percentage, it is something.

Where are you hearing your news because the near universal consensus from local and national experts has been that Flacco has looked lights out.

Heap86 hates Flacco, always has.

**Irish Raven** · 08-01-2012, 02:04 AM

Where are you getting your information Heap86?

Have a look at a video on the main site
http://www.baltimoreravens.com/media...cee7364eccb884
Flacco and Tyrod look good and one of the posters gave positive comments

I'm just waiting for Troy Smith to appear on this thread....

. From various tweets I have read he is throwing several picks every day of practice.

Tweets from who? Respected journalists? Time wasters?
Your post is all very vague, I read, I heard, so make a debate out of it and back yourself up

Besides the fact that what your heard/saw goes against everything everyone else is saying and your an admitted flacco "hater", ill go another route.

Qbs do throw more INTs in TC. Even the elites. Its a time to try new things and test your own abilities as to not do so when it counts. Teams are going work on new things, yes even cam cameron, and theres many green wrs or unfamiliar ones with the offense as well as timing. The few INTs ive heard about have been talked as of great plays by the defense or mistakes by wrs mostly. I think i only heard one guy say there was an errant throw that got picked. INTs happen in TC.

That's all I've heard too. It's been all positive

**PerpetuallyBored74** · 08-01-2012, 05:14 AM

Maybe the tweets were about Curtis Painter?

Because he's the one who's been throwing ints left & right; both Flacco and Taylor have done very well in camp so far.

**Dade** · 08-01-2012, 05:47 AM

The elites don't throw INTs in camp...I laughed so hard at that line. This guy just wants to hate on Flacco and will look for anything (even make some things up) to support his view. Won't even say who he heard this from or whose tweets these where from.

His next post will be Painter is a better option than Flacco.

Drive by trolling...

**Flipping Birdie** · 08-01-2012, 06:22 AM

Elites don't throw interceptions at camp?

Yeah, he threw a couple yesterday, and I heard of one a couple of days ago; but seriously, no big deal. Every member of the media that has sat in on training camp, even his detractors, have praised him in this training camp. I was happy to hear Asa Jackson got two picks yesterday... well, happy for him and our secondary. We're doing to be deep as hell at corner this year.

Reading through the OP's past posts tells me all I need to know.

Anyone have a "Move Along, Nothing to See Here" meme I can borrow?

We also have, quite possibly, one of the best secondaries in the league going into this season. We've come a long way from 2008 and the likes of Frank Walker.

**leachisabeast** · 08-01-2012, 07:20 AM

Just going through his past posts on the forum. He said back in 09 that our wheels have completely fallen off the defense, and it the 08 AFCCG was our last shot at the SB in the next decade. How wrong you were.

**arnie_uk** · 08-01-2012, 07:43 AM

Hes assuming INTs by Taylor, Painter and them other guys are all by flacco. Ive heard of 2/3 for Joe, check out the camp updates on this site for "real" and "true" updates

Picks in camp, who cares anyway

The QB's and the coordinators and the coaches are supposed to be trying new things, taking risks and having a shot

Camp has just begun

**Ravens44** · 08-01-2012, 07:57 AM

I had to think about this one for quite sometime...I bet if I think REAL hard I can remember my first pair of shoes...momma said they'd take me anywhere...OH wait...we were talking about Flacco...

I actually heard from someone, or read it somewhere, from somebody, that Flacco threw two interceptions on one play and the defense scored twice.

But the more I thought about it, I said to myself, "self, what the heck are you thinking? I can't remember ANY quarterback in the NFL doing that! 2 Interceptions on just one pass for two TDs? I think that proves Flacco IS elite! Who else can do THAT!?!" So then I stood up, pulled my pants up and slapped myself on the back.

**Heap86** · 08-01-2012, 08:40 AM

I don't have time to post all of them, but the are from the official sites twitter feed.

Pick 6 Webb, Pick 6 Graham, Pick 6 McClellan, interceptions to both Pollard and Lewis.

You have to scroll through them
