You can call him anything you like….if a QB takes a team to the playoffs every year, you can call him anything you like…….
typical moronic squealer fan comment!

Can’t blame him, I’d rather hang out with my buddies at work than some washed up bum whose brain has been turning to pudding first in a Martz offense and always behind a shoddy line.

It could’ve been worse: The Ravens could’ve signed unemployed Tyler Palko, who Flacco wasn’t good enough to beat out at Pitt.
Flacco is a career “game manager,” which means he’s wonderful with leads, but terrible when he’s behind. He’s a white Kordell Stewart.
As a Steelers fan, I’m rooting hard for Flacco to keep the starting job. You Go, Joe!!!

I think people may be judging Bulger as a would be usurper, but think about it from his standpoint and the Ravens standpoint. If he has a great pre-season and looks good in mop-up duty in garbage-time games, he will be trade bait for sure next year. The ravens get premium draft picks and this whole conversation looks silly. At that point if Troy I-would-die-for-you–diamond-if-you-want-me-to Smith is available next year, he and Joe can be buddies again. Sorry for the Prince reference.

Why can’t people understand that Joe Flacco and his epic brow of the eye is about 4567687899754 times the the quarterback that Bulger is and will ever become.

wow flacco, way to embrace a veteran that can teach you some things. (or embrace a challenge).
looks like Beck is out. He sucks anyway. I should know, my team drafted him

I love how people are getting so up in arms over Flacco’s comments. In fact, I relish the fact that this guy is honest, instead of feeding the corporate line, like so many other players. If anything he is showing a little loyalty to the guys he has on the team now and the fact that they have a good team chemistry. He doesn’t want some know-it-all vet coming in and messing that up. He is sending the message to Marc, who I think is an excellent pick up for Baltimore, that says “dude, welcome, but don’t be f’ing up what we have here”. Good for Joe to stand up. This guy is turning into a true leader.

Big talk from a green QB about an established winning QB .
————
Wow. Bulger all of a sudden is a “winning QB.” His passer rating over the last three years is right around 70, which, as all you football geniuses know, sucks.
Last year all anyone could say about him is how gawd awful he was. Now that he’s a backup, it’s “I can hear the chants now…Bulger, Bulger, Bulger.”

Uh, this is what I like about Flacco: he’s a realist. While it’s all about team, there are individuals and, while he is a first-round pick which ensures his roster spot, he hates the thought of one of his friends getting cut.
I’m also a realist. I’ve never seen a team assembled with so much talent. Everyone says their Achilles’ heel is their corner position but I’d take Lardarius Webb and the vets over half the other corners in the NFL and, if they had to switch to three safety sets and have Hamlin or Zbikowski covering somebody, that wouldn’t scare me either. No, Greg Mattison, whose defense was number 1 in yards per carry allowed, is more likely to sabotage the season or perhaps a bunch of injuries.
I’m fully aware that while this team has the talent to go 16-0, that usually doesn’t pan out for those talented teams of the past, even if this one has more talent. Just because paper rosters don’t mean anything, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to assemble them.

Okay fine I’m sorry for calling the Ravens overrated at least they have gotten to the AFC championship game unlike the Cowboys who always get bounced in the first Rd in the NFC playoffs. The Skins last had a good team in 2007.We will have a good team again this year because Vinny Cerrato and Jim Zorn are gone and we actually have a good QB now..

You idiots who think Flacco is “affraid” Bulger is going to take the starting spot need to wake up from 8 years ago, take a hit off the bong, and go eat a Twinkie.
The other idiots who think Flacco is over-rated can follow them.
Truth is, Flacco knows that he is the leader of the team, showed it, stuck up for his guys, and quote me on this, the guy will have top 5-8 numbers in the league.
This from a non-Raven fan.

@skins1970 – you have the nerve to call the Ravens overrated. When was the last time the Foreskins had a good team? The Ravens have made the playoffs two years in a row with this kid as a QB. If you read the article out of the Sun it was innocuous. (I realize that’s a big word for a Redskin fan but deal with it.)
MDS on this site made this a bigger deal than it is. Flacco has an established relationship with both Smith and Beck. What he was saying was that it is going to be a bummer when one or both of those guys gets cut because he is their friend. But the bottom line is that Bulger is the backup and they are on the bubble. Flacco is the starter. And for all of you miscreants on this site that trash Flacco, I will remind you that his first two year QB numbers rank in the top 10 in the history of the game for QB’s starting in their first two years in the league. Better than Matt Ryan. Better than Eli Manning. Better than the toasterhead himself. Yes he has pissed down his leg during the playoffs. But this is year three and if he is going to be a top notch QB this should be the year he shows it.
And for all you hopeful that this will cause dissension or problems in the clubhouse, you are whistling past the graveyard. Flacco is a team guy and a hard worker. Unlike so many others in the NFL primadonna is not in his lexicon (again I apologize to the Redskin fans that need vocabulary lessons.)
Screw all you haters. We’re going to the playoffs again and if we are lucky with the health of our team we are going to beat the crap out of the Cowboys in the Superbowl.

@Paul
Like I said before he did not intend to go public, the reporters came to him for the info, he didn’t call up jamison hensley from the baltimore sun to give him a full on interview, joe is the last person on the ravens who would go to the press to say anything.

By: Paul

Paul — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:52:20 +0000

It’s probably nothing and won’t amount to anything, but why say anything at all? Why go public like that? I’m sure Ozzie’s already given young Mr. Flappo an earful. Hey, if it derails the Raybirds at all, I’m all for it. But it won’t matter because they’re way over-rated with all those wheelchairs and walkers needed for the starting D.

What could he say? He didn’t want to throw anyone under the bus by saying it makes the team more competitive. On the other hand, he didn’t want to make the other guys, one of whom will not have a job, feel bad, either. Best thing was to say nothing. Just happy to be getting ready to play football, and leave it at that.

Having actually clicked the link and read the article, I am now convinced PFT is attemtping to become the next BSPN. You guys convientingly left out this gem “While Flacco believes Bulger will be “a great backup,”
Hmmmmm…. He thinks Bulger will be a great back up QB. He must hate his guts.
