Cam Cameron Backs Joe Flacco

by lastcallbmore on Jan 13, 2012 8:00 PM EST

There is a video on baltimoreravens.com of Cam Cameron answering questions about the comments Joe Flacco made on Wednesday to the media. In the video Cam seemingly has Joe's back and has some pretty interesting things to say about the fourth year quarterback.

I'm sure everyone knows about the comments made by Flacco by now. Most of what he said was said tongue in cheek and was taken way out of context by the national media. However, you have to think that there was a lot of truth behind what Joe was saying. He does not get the credit he deserves in most circles and many NFL analysts consider Flacco the reason the Ravens will not make it to the Super Bowl.

Cameron went on to say that the comments made by Flacco were not a surprise and anyone that knows him knows he is a fiery guy that has a chip on his shoulder about his national perception. Cam also went on to say that he is a "huge Flacco fan" and he's excited to see what Joe is going to do on the field every time he plays. He labeled Joe as the "real deal" and said he was very excited when the Ravens decided to draft him.

It has been rumored that the relationship between these two has been a bit rocky over the years and they do not always see eye to eye. These comments by Cameron may have been an attempt to show his quarterback that he not only trusts him but he believes he is capable of being an "elite" quarterback as well. Or this is how Cam really feels and he is just now going to bat for the young signal caller publicly.

Either way it was great to here and he had some very nice things to say about his quarterback. I, like many Ravens fans have had my issues with Cam Cameron over the years but this video actually made me think he could do us some good if he stays here in Baltimore. Much of that depends on how the offense performs over the next few weeks in the playoffs but at least we know the right people are saying the right things.

By the way. I really like the beard Cam is sporting these days. He looks like captain Ahab, like he is in the midst of a long waling trip and is too busy to shave. Love it.

Or it’s Cam’s method of deflecting the blame from himself, by appearing that he’s always backed Joe – whether that’s the truth or not.

Also, am I the only one who finds it disturbing that the man responsible for the team’s game plan and the planning necessary to defeat the other team, makes a statement that "he is a “huge Flacco fan” and he excited to see what Joe is going to do on the field every time he plays." If you’re creating a proper game plan and you, your QB and your team are properly prepared, should it really be a surprise to you what your QB is going to do week-to-week?

or its just cam basicly telling the truth and backing joe flacco up because thats his quarterback

he never said he was suprised but excited.You can be excited about somethng and still know whats going to happen besides im sure Flacco has made plays that Cam didnt expect.

It's probably both

Why wouldn’t he support his quarterback? You can’t ignore that. But at the same time, Cameron runs the offense Flacco executes, that obviously creates something of a bond between the two. It’d be like training your kid to hit a baseball, and speaking openly about how bad of a swing he has.

Why would a loss automatically be pinned on Flacco?

Also, while I’m aware that pretty much everyone has giant misconceptions about the other team’s fanbase, I don’t think we’ll walk over Houston. So a loss would not be entirely surprisingly. I don’t expect it, but I’d say there’s probably a 30% chance Houston wins.

One Ravens fan admitting the Texans can win

My perception is that Flacco, even in this playoff season, has had an up and down season, personally, and he has been the target of discussion as to whether he is the long-term QB that can get to the Super Bowl. I would think a loss this weekend which equates to one and done, would just add fuel to that debate. That’s all.

More than one.

But as we as a blog like to focus on when you look down on our team, I imagine you all do as well.

Cam needs to put words into affect on the field let joe use his tools.

by runew on Jan 13, 2012 8:35 PM EST reply actions

Cam’s just talking out of his ass. He knows his job is on the line, so he’s obviously going to be a “huge Flacco fan”. Joe’s play will have a huge impact on whether Cam stays or goes. I wouldn’t be surprised if we won it all and still let Cameron go this offseason.

Cam is correct

Flacco vs. Brees

Look, anyone who thinks Joe has peaked in his fourth season is an out right idiot. He’s only going to get better.

Q: What never gets mentioned when people are comparing Joe Flacco to Drew Brees?
A: Drew Brees didn’t turn into “Drew Brees” until about his 6th year in the league.

Look at the stats, Joe stacks up very well to Drew Brees at this point in his career. The QB position in the NFL is an extremely difficult position to learn and requires the right combination of physical and mental tools (Both of which Joe clearly possess). Not only does a QB need to be able to diagnose a defense, but the he communicate this to the rest of the offense and then has to be able to adapt and execute his plays accordingly. Rarely does this click immediately, usually it takes years to develop.

Joe is class act and is only going to get better. The Ravens would do well to keep him around. BTW, I’m a big Brees fan, too, so no disrespect to Drew.

Stop making so much sense

^^This.

OK, I’m an enemy fan, but I can’t believe the Flacco haters in Baltimore. I’m praying the sonafabitch gets the flu Sunday.

What do you want the team to do, trade up and draft some rookie you hope will be the next Aaron Rodgers? Ridiculous.
