Doesnt matter what OC you bring in. When you have an inept “franchise” quarterback in Flacco and weak defense, you wont make it past the first round of the playoffs. Next year the Ravens fall below the Browns for the bottom the AFCN and the Steelers emerge with a healthy O-Line, strong young defense (as we see this year) and another deep playoff run. The Ravens playoff runs are over and the Steelers will continue to win Super Bowls.

Probably mostly responsible for the Ravens 26th ranked defense too.

This is clearly a panic move.

1) haubaugh trying to seem like the media and fans will twist this some sort of way when we all know if he was doing a “heck of a job” he would of NEVER been fired…

2) people talking up cadwell like hes good lol.. he had the worst record in the nfl last year, and even i could get a HC job if i was the QB coach for peyton manning lol

Zorn had Flacco’s numbers up across the board, but Cameron couldn’t handle the competition and wanted full control of the QB. It would have been better for the team if Harbaugh had sided with Flacco and Zorn … but hindsight is 20/20.

It’s unfortunate timing for the team, and Caldwell doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence, so he may not be the permanent replacement. But removing Cameron will be better for Flacco and the Ravens in the long run. I’m still so frustrated by our performance against San Diego that I’m having a hard time believing the Ravens won’t win the division despite all this turmoil.

He knows that with games coming up against the Giants, Broncos and Bengals, his team is about to go from 9-2 to 9-7, and probably miss the playoffs.

The Charlie Batch-led Steelers and the Redskins were the most winnable games left on the schedule.

As much as it pains me to say it, you have a good point. The last two Raven’s OC have a combined record as Head Coaches of 3-32.

Wrong. Jim Caldwell went 14-2, 10-6, and 2-14. The last year having Curtis Painter at the helm.

Who is in control of that organization. Right now it looks like Ray Rice. He wants more touches and now he will get him, now that the human sock puppet is his OC.

Just how did the firing of Cam Cameron improve the Ravens. Here is a guy who has NEVER called the offensive plays in a game since he’s been in the NFL.

If Harbaugh was upset about how the game was called on Sunday, he should have DONE something about it. He’s the freakin’ HC, isn’t he?

The Ravens are one of the top teams in the AFC, but what’s happening to them the last 3 games can’t be cured by making Cam Cameron a scapegoat

How many times have we seen over the past couple years where Cameron hasn’t given the ball to their best player in crunch time? I’m sure Harbaugh probably said something to him about it before, then with Rice not getting enough touches in the 4th quarter & overtime was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Why would they do that? Watch one half of any game from the last 2 seasons and you’ve seen the whole playbook.

The only thing to know about Cameron’s offense is to expect more of the same, whether it’s working or not.

Old – older – oldest team.
The Ravens can reinvent their offense – but with so many of the defensive starters and backups lost to free agency or injury – they are not likely to win more than one game the rest of the season.

Personally, as a Ravens fan, I think the timing is actually very poor. They should have not brought Cameron back this offseason just gone and hired a new face with a different philosophy. That way they had a full season to evaluate whether the problem lies with Flacco – not just three games.

Something is wrotten in the State of Maryland, and I feel Harbs isn’t being fully honest about who or what forced his hand on this issue.
