To say yes or no is pretty subjective and you would have to ignore the Ravens ability to run the ball which has no doubtably taken allot of heat off of him. Chad is one of the most accurate passers in the game… short game that is. Chad can make the throws down field but is far less accurate than he is under 15 yards.
What Flacco brings to the table is the accurate down the field shot that leaves under neith routes free and less of a press coverage. The way the Ravens offense has operated this season, I think that is a crucial abilty that Flacco has over Chad, in the Ravens off.
The Ravens run game (forces 8-9 men in the box) coupled with a Qb that can’t successfully strecth field gives me flashbacks to last year.
So after all that said. No I don’t think we would be in this same position if we had Chad.

I do not think we would be able to execute some of the “Unusual” plays that we use. Things such as a fake fullback run and have Joe run the bootleg out for the first down (Dallas Game) I think Flacco brings more athleticism to our team, as he is VERY fast on his feet for someone his size.

I will give credit to Chad that he is a very accurate passer and can put the ball where it needs to be, but I have yet to see him make throws this year that Joe would not be able to make. Joe has the strongest arm in the league next to Russell and Cutler. His 7-12 yard pass must come out at 75 mph and it right in the middle of the numbers. He has made throws to a WR that split the facemasks of 5 defenders.

I like what Chad is doing for the Dolphins, but I am unsure that he would lead us to a playoff team.

DT, what made you think that we would have gotten Chad before this season? Were there rumors of picking him up or is it just a “What If” kind of thing?

For starters, there is no way the Dolphins make the playoffs. No Chance.

Agreed, we have been blessed to have him. We were supposed to be in rebuild mode this year. To be 11-5 and AFC East Champs is a blessing

with your above avg. running game and decent wideouts i bet he would have been nice for you guys too…he is CP10!

i also think Heap would be a Pro Bowler…then again..what the hell do i know about Ravens football? not much…dont care to either really.

I would just like to say its really sad that this sites “leaders” feel the need to come over the the best site on sb and talk smack….shows the class of your city as a whole..really, really sad. Matty..our leader….has been nothing but classy…..so why dont you take a page out of our book? maybe you will have over 1000 members like us oneday….NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

COME SEE ME WITH THAT BALT BEATDOWN….

And seeing that team beg and plead for people to buy tickets in Miami, I’ll stay here. You play in a baseball stadium. and at one point both the teams where in question of leaving your great city of transplants. Which is made up of old snow birds from NY. I’ll take my city hear that has sold out games since day one, sold out of psl’s. and sold out on the psl waiting list.
Its pathetic for the Sun Sent. to brag about a sellout than go to stub hub and ebay and see that you can as many tickets as you want and many for less than $100.
The best thing Miami could to do is tarp over half the stadium like Jacksonville does and sell ad space.
No one was slaming Chad here so don’t get so sensitive.
And as far as Rex asking for tickets? you take that offensive when its the truth. I flew down for the 2001 game. Got heckled by hillbillys and rednecks in the rain than saw all of them leave by halftime.

 Our offense would be a lot more conservative and focus even more on the short passes. Chad is very accurate bt doesn’t have the gun that Flacco has so the long sideline passes and trick plays that had the QB running would be out of the question. However, Pennington doesn’t make a ton of mistakes so the Ravens would probably control the ball almost as well and would still make the post season.

But, I dont care! Whacko for Flacco!

The difference is Flacco is 23 and Pennington is 32 and….

man its boring up in here……nice job on getting you family to sign up for a blog Rexx…..but maybe a few people ur NOT related too would make this site actually worth looking at.

You guys seriously lost me on “WE PLAY IN A BASEBALL STADIUM”…seriously….misinformed sad people.

all this smack and your best players ARE HEART OF MIAMI RAISED PLAYERS!!! we suck so bad…we are so lacking tradition….that WE PRODUCED YOUR BEST 2 PLAYERS..PROBALLY HALL OF FAMERS AT THAT.

i truly feel sorry for you guys…we have seen so much…you have to look back anbd call ur team the Colts to even remember anything pre 1990. sad as all hell…..

to pretend like you wheren’t a jags fan last year… Or a bucs fan when they wen’t to the superbowl.
I’ll have fun on sunday watching Mclain run over ferg. and porter.
Hopefully joey doesn’t get shot in the ass this week.

Koch is prenounced Cook and its also the ravens punter…. i gues lusting after men is your lifes pursuit.
I love how you over at the fin forums love to take personel shots at people from behind a computer monitor. And your 44? pathetic..
The story is over, it was great while it lasted and now the Tuna is going to jump ship and your team will be 8-8 if your lucky next year.

that Cam would have a much different playbook with Chad over Joe. His name escapes me at the moment, but the Miami Offensive Coordinator has done a wonderful job at using Chad’s positives (most obvious his accuracy) while hiding or dimishing his negatives (really just his arm strength). As someone has mentioned, CHad has been injured but the Dolophins have managed to keep him healthy. As much as I love what the Ravens have done to re-invent themselves, what the Dolphins have done this year has been much more impressive.

Looking towards this game, neither team can look to their first meeting this year and expect to face the same team. The Dolphins have rattled off an impressive and long list of victorys. They will have key players that they didn’t have due to injuries (that nose guard dude is impressive). But the Ravens have vastly improved as well. It seems now that Flacco is allowed and confortable with hitting the deep pass. Megahee seems to have gotten his head together and out of his rut. Also, Ray Rice should be available as well. Win or lose, both teams and fan bases should be elated to reach the playoffs. If should be a great game.

It was my favorite part of going to F.A.U. I’ll say this about south fla. great place to visit not live. Rzayo24’s hometown of west palm is nice though. I would say the broward county w. palm line is almost night and day.
