Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)

[GridIron26]

It's confirmed, Pitta is out of season. Huge blow to Ravens.

Dennis Pitta fractures hip, out for Ravens' season - NFL.com

No boldin, No pitta. I don't see flacco carrying that offense.

[CultBrennan59]

Don't doubt flacco. He's starting to become a clutch QB. Pitta is good, but Ed Dickson is also good. The ravens will be fine. Hell, the just drafted the TE/h-back/FB from Harvard who has some potential.

[CRedskinsRule]

The ravens are going to miss both Boldin and Pitta.
@billbarnwell: To @smartfootball's point, 27 of Joe Flacco's 56 third-down conversions last year -- nearly half -- were to Anquan Boldin or Dennis Pitta.

[FRPLG]

Count me as a Flacco doubter. Decent but he needs to take a leap this year.

[MTK]

Not sure what else Flacco needs to do at this point. He's pretty damn proven to me.

[Green Monk Machine]

Lol. I live north of Bmore and up until the day before he won the Super Bowl, 1/2 the population wasn't a believer in him. They just love to hate him. I think the ravens improved their defense but it could the bengals year in that division.

The eagles still have 6'7" WR freak of nature Ifeanyi Momah in camp.

Measurements won't matter if he can't catch, or run the right route, or even block.

Flacco is a good QB, but I wouldnt be worried bout him if I was a Raven fan. That team lost a ton of very solid players this offseason. I think the defense is gonna struggle immensely. leach, bolden and now pitta on offense? this team doesnt win 10

Not in the regular season he isn't.

So playoffs every season isn't proven?

Well, I guess Sanchez was a proven QB eh? Will you be saying the same thing once Flacco starts missing the playoffs?

We had a freak of nature once, called Marko Mitchell. I think he's working at TGI Fridays now.

Just saying, height isn't everything.

He plays his best ball in the playoffs and that's a bad thing?

His regular season stats are more than solid enough to me, especially with a back like Rice in the backfield.

Like I said, so did Sanchez. What are we going to be saying when his regular season stats aren't good enough to carry the team into the playoffs? I suspect that'll be happening this year.


Granted, I realize he's a much better QB than Sanchez in the regular season, just will people be saying the same once they stop missing the playoffs?
