Ravens' Caldwell Has Plans For Flacco

PrintJim Caldwell, new QB Coach for the Baltimore Ravens, already seems to have plans for QB Joe Flacco. He has no intention to see Flacco plateau at the level he's been on the past couple of years. Flacco's 2011 regular season was only 13 yards behind his personal best, but that's not apparently going to be good enough for his new QB coach, which should come as great news for Ravens fans.
Caldwell has every intention to push Joe to be one of the best in the league, saying in an article on Bettor.com:
"I'm not here to try to make him like any other quarterback in this league, like Peyton Manning or Brad Johnson or the other guys I've coached."
Although along with the Ravens Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson was a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, I'd much prefer to see Flacco exceed whatever Johnson has done in any one season. The expectations of Caldwell turning Joe into anything close to Peyton Manning needs to be tempered a bit around Baltimore, as there is really only one, okay two, Mannings. But only one Peyton.

I hope that Caldwell will bring out the best in Joe while providing a nice buffer between he and Cam.
I also believe
he is “insurance” for Cam, because if the playcalling is once again questionable, then Caldwell can step right in there and become OC.

I think that will happen. At some point in the season Cam is gone. The ravens will string off wins all the way to the Superbowl.

Highly doubt they would fire our OC mid-season. Our record would have to be horrible and have one of the worst offenses in the NFL for them to do that.
On Ed Reed:
"I’ve told him to his face many times, ‘You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,’"
"We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."

Yeah, as much as I hate Cam
there’s no way he gets fired mid season. In fact, after how horrible he’s been here and somehow survived, I think Harbaugh will keep him here forever….unfortunately.
That has been my thoughts since they hired Caldwell
I think we need someone who will give Joe the freedom to call his own game! What is the use in giving Joe a big contract if he isn’t given the opportunity to see if he can control of the offense?

i would understand if they hired hue jackson or some other guy that actually had a background
in nfl as offensive coodinator but i highly doubt the ravens think Caldwell is a back up plan just in case cam doesnt work out.
Caldwell doesn’t have any history of being a offensive coodinator at the nfl level and if the steeler didnt find any interest in him to be their offensive coodinator then why should the ravens?
THREE "3 AND OUTS" TO START A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?
WHO COULD BE WORSE THAN RUNNING THE SAME: RICE RIGHT GUARD-RICE LEFT GUARD FOR THREE STRAIGHT SERIES? THE GAME WAS LOST ON THE FIRST THREE SERIES, NOT BY EVANS, OR CUNDIFF!! WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST TEN POINTS AHEAD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH QUARTER AS I SAW IT. WHAT DID YOU SEE?

IF lee Evans would had held on the ball tight enough, If Ed Dickson didnt drop a important catch for a first down,
IF Joe Flacco would had decide to pass to Vonta Leach instead of a well covered kris wilson, if the o-line didnt allow Vince Wilfork to get to joe Flacco so easily, and etc then I see the ravens winning that game.
Overall the reason why the ravens offense didnt get it done was solely on players not executing like they should.
Ray Rice got stoned at the line on every first down. By the second half he was singing “I wanna get high” while stuffing his face with Doritos.

lol yeah now i remember but i was shocked how the o-line allowed Vince Wilfork
to get to ray rice show fast. Matt Birk got manhandle in that game
Plans for Flacco?
You think? I don’t know what being a NFL QB coach usually entails, but I’d imagine it involves some sort of plan. Too bad I honestly don’t think he’ll have much of an impact on Joe, but who knows…

It wasn’t too bad, I definitely don’t want to go back though.
