It's Cam's fault!

You can say that I am trolling all you want, but as a fan of this team, hearing stuff like this gives me the right to be skeptical.

In their last head-to-head matchups, on the field, playing a game that counts, both Brady and Brees had more INTs than Flacco.

And here are their total INTs in their first 4 years in the league:

46 - Flacco
53 - Brees
64 - Manning, Eli
81 - Manning, Peyton

In only one of their combined first 8 years in the league, did one of the Mannings have less INTs in a season than did Flacco, and that was only because Eli did not play a full first season.

If one's intent is to discount Flacco with respect to the better QBs in the league, INTs is a curious tool on which to make that case.

The offense got the best of the defense in Thursday’s practice, especially during 11-on-11 drills.

At one point, Joe Flacco led the unit about 75 yards down the field in four plays. The drive included two catches by tight end Ed Dickson and two by wide receiver Torrey Smith.

Dickson made an impressive grab over the middle of the field in tight coverage, and Smith scored a touchdown on a perfectly executed timing route to the front corner of the end zone. Smith beat cornerback Cary Williams for the touchdown.

At another point in practice, Flacco hit Dickson over the middle with linebacker Ray Lewis in tight coverage. Dickson made the grab right over Lewis’ head and kept running up field. Flacco then let Lewis know he got beat on the play with a little trash talk

Yep...Flacco's really stinking it up. Pick after pick.

A thread like this always makes me wonder if this is just someone stirring the pot. There is nothing in anything I've read at camp that gives me the slightest bit of concern about Joe Flacco. If anything, it looks like they are finally uncuffing him and letting him throw the ball.

Personally? I think the rest of the league doesn't know what's coming from this offense this year.

Reminds me of Billick's question to Marvin Lewis prior to Super Bowl XXXV, "Do they (the Giants) know what's coming?" ML replied, "NO !" The rest is history... Bc

Hmmm....thank goodness the rest of the team bailed him out last night! Err...wait...
