Joe Flacco Leadership

PrintHello Ravens fans/other fans. Today I will be speaking about Joe Flacco Leadership but lets take a look at the defintion/qualites of leadership.
Leaders are recognized in sports, schools and businesses every day. Not all of these leaders are managers. Some are members of management, but others are employees who lead through example for coworkers. It does not take a specific title to be a leader. Instead, there are skills leaders have that make others want to perform at a high level when either working with them or for them. Leaders improve the performance of everyone around them.
Leadership of a team can be the difference between success and failure. Leadership is the process of determining goals for the team and finding a way for the team to meet those goals. Leadership involves finding ways to motivate team members or employees to reach their goals. Learning how to motivate for leader is not easy, as each employee or person on his team may have to be motivated in a different way. Finding out how to get each team member or employee to perform at her highest level is the job of a leader.
Leadership can be passive or aggressive. Showing good leadership involves reading people you are leading and finding what works with them. An "in-your-face" approach might get high performance from some members of the team, but it also can result in negative feedback from others. A laid-back leadership style can empower employees who work for you, but it can also result in an atmosphere in which the team feels unmotivated. The wrong type of leadership for a team or employee can be more damaging than no leadership at all.
Joe Flacco is the leader of the offense and other players such as O-linemen/tackle, running back/fullback,wide receiver,and tight ends are his followers.Joe Flacco leadership seems to be a passive type leadership where he not a fiery type guy pumping up his followers but indeed is laid back type leader, which can lead to his followers feeling unmotivate at times. In tough times Flacco followers are going to look up to him for some kind of answer/motivation to solve a problem and if they can't find it from their leader than everybody will be lost.
The leader is the head and the followers are the neck; If the head is not functioning then neither will the neck and if the neck not funtioning neither will the head. After last night game Joe Flacco said in a interview " We are a young football team, we are switching guys in up front and we have new guys out there and we need some time" Leadership can be hard to do if the people you are leadering are still a little inexperience and it takes time for the leader to actrally grow a bond with his followers.
Joe Flacco leadership is still going through a growing phase and this is his first year where he has been given the full control of the offense. Joe Flacco leadership needs to improve just as well as his followers performance but the improvement of leadership is still the important factor in order for this offense to develop/perform the way it should.

Joe Flacco leadership is still going through a growing phase and this is his first year where he has been given the full control of the offense.
I don’t see it. He is the only QB on a playoff caliber team right now that is on a leash, like one of those kind that obsessive parent put around the children’s chest. That is Cam and Harbs right now with Joe.
No urgency, no care in the world if we are losing, lets just stay cool and take our time. The defense can’t possibly know when we are going to snap the ball when there is 4 seconds on the play clock…….or can they?
Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.
Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang
It really doesn’t seem like he was handed control. I know they said that, but I don’t see it either. On that last drive it seems like Flacco had to look over to the sidelines after every single play and the play wasn’t getting picked very fast and it was the worst no huddle I have ever seen. He is still being held back and they might as well give Joe the control because it can’t be any worse than what we saw last night.

"I’ve told him to his face many times, ‘You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,’"

No huddles are not supposed to go down to 10 seconds left on the play block.

You can't have the option to audible if
you don’t get the play called until the last possible second. There would not be any time to do anything other than get to the line and snap the ball regardless of what defense was showing against you.

If Ozzie and John Harbaugh both have said that Joe Flacco has been giving full control of the offense then I beleive that and i dont think they would lie. I truly believe Flacco just isnt displaying his leadership as often as he should and this is why we as fans think he is on a leash by cam but indeed flacco has his own self on a leash.
Flacco is not perfect and he is inconsistent so is cam but i think it’s time for ravens to face the fact that Joe Flacco needs to get it together. If flacco is on a leash then he needs to be a man and start speaking up saying hey let me do my thing instead of just sitting there listening to order with a sad face. quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and etc are all leaders of their offense but do you think there offensive coordinator just gave them the keys to the offense? the answer is no because they took the keys of the offense with out asking and start leading.
leadership is not giving it is earned and Flacco needs to start leading and there no excuse for him any more

Its been time since 2009.

Sadly enough, we have no control over this. Only Joe does. I think him and Ray need to sit down for an hour or 2 and go over what it is like to be a champion. Joe needs a slap across the face from some of these defensive players, they will show him what fire is.

There is no excuse, and for the first time since Joe has been here, I actually questioned last night whether he is the franchise QB for Baltimore. Scary, scary thought. It takes alot for me to think about that possibility, and I mean ALOT.

“I don’t think they would lie.”
Jazz you kill me sometimes. Coaches and team officials lie quite frequently, its the smart thing to do when telling the truth (I.e. saying “cam and I don’t really trust joe yet” or ozzie saying “joe hasn’t earned his extension yet”) does more harm than good.
The little lecture on leadership is a bit awkward. People know leaders when they see them and I’m not sure flacco is one, I get that. But its a little absurd to discount the fact that he’s being limited by his surroundings right now. There’s obvious evidence showing us what a short leash he’s on but you bury your head in the sand by saying “Harbs wouldn’t lie.” Get real, of course he would.

ok here some information about what was said to Joe Flacco
Flacco personally met with Head Coach John Harbaugh early the next week, and something seemed to click for the fourth-year quarterback during the conversation.
Newsome described the exchange:
“[Flacco] and John sat down and John said, ‘You know, you could see the light start to come on,’ when John was telling him, ‘Look, if you don’t like a play that comes in, change it. Change it to something that you like.’
“And the light came on with Joe. So that is where we are helping Joe get to, and I think it’s coming between the head coach and Cam [Cameron, offensive coordinator] working with Joe and saying, ‘This [offense] has to be his.’
Ozzie Newsome has stress the importance of the ravens offense being Joe Flacco through the off season and if you think Ozzie and John Harbaugh is lying then it obvious that they dont trust Flacco to audible for some reason .
I dont understand why some ravens fans can’t accept the idea that maybe its joe flacco who’s holding him self back and not the coaches all the time.o

at a desk and watch tape, dissect and respond. It’s another to do in front of the enemy with a ticking clock and someone stuttering into your earpiece.

The leader is the head and the followers are the neck; If the head is not functioning then neither will the neck and if the neck not funtioning neither will the head.
While I don’t disagree that Flacco has shown little leadership, unfortunately for your analogy, there’s yet another level in the NFL – the players are the neck, the QB is the head and the Coach/OC is the brain. If the brain isn’t functional or retarded as it is in Cam’s case, nothing further down is going to function correctly.
Monkey Feces for OC.

start banning these people
there are some like John Stephens who actually come and talk football, which is fine. But these guys come over here for no other reason that to try and piss people off. You’re losing good fans, Bruce. Luke E hasn’t been here since that joke of a game thread Monday night, and I’m sure there are plenty other who have stopped coming here because of it. I like coming here to discuss the Ravens, but what is gonna make me stay if, every time I log on, I see 6 Steelers fans making derogatory statements about us, posting pictures intended to rub losses in our faces, and talk non-stop shit? I know you want traffic, and everyone has the right to free speech, but you’re gonna lose good Ravens fans if this shit keeps going on.
completely agree YeahDonnie. There has been a couple times where I have considered not coming back here or at least limiting it. It gets bad at times and it’s ruining the quality of this blog for the true fans. Every other site bans people except this one and it’s starting to get ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong
I love it here, and Bruce does a great job with posting stories, but it’s just annoying and like you said, ruins the quality of the blog. If every time I walked in my kitchen some asshole jumped out and said I suck and started laughing at me…I probably wouldn’t go to the kitchen so much.
There’s a certain someone almost everyone has publicly asked for a ban on, but Bruce has consistently turned a blind eye to it.

I apologize
and will try to police the trollers better in the future. I try to give people a long rope and have a desire to tolerate that perhaps some others do not.
Jackma: Email me who you are saying and I will either warn or ban him.
