I don’t care about the 25 TD or the 4000 yrds that has nothing to do with the point that I was making. But thanks anyways.

7 games and? Your not arguing against me your arguing against the proof I presented.

At the moment you’d look stupid to compare the two.

Unless you are a total moron( many posters here qualify), we weren’t in the playoffs because we had the god awful worst secondary in the league- damn near the worst in the history of professional football. They ducked to a degree that was laughable thru out the league. Same reason we have kept losing for years.
We should be carrying Josh the the Streets, celebrating his winning any games with such a damn porous secondary!! I don’t care if he dresses up like Mickey Mouse! Our offense was good enough to win plenty of games. If management had addressed this miserable secondary- plus the inexcusable lack of depth on this team- we would be in the playoffs!!! Reguardless of any irrelevant photo shoots.

Anyone who isn’t a total moron would know that.

Cue the morons

Say what you will about Flacco, he was clutch when it counted, during a playoff run. His receivers were awesome and he was in tune with them for big plays, left and right. Flacco has a ring and how many other current QB’s in the NFL can have one? Both Mannings, Rodgers, Brees and Brady. That is the only 5 I can think of, maybe their backups but really, does that count

joe flacco had 7 games with less than an 80 qbr, so stop with this consistent crap. Played on good team and got hot at right time. flacco is good and better than freeman at the moment, but they are comparable dont kid yourselves.

pr did you also notice flacco has never had more than 25 tds in a year, freemans done that twice. never had 4000 yds either. flacco is inconsistent as hell, last year on the road he sucked.

Max, I think 98.7 is leading the pack these days. 620 has the best morning show then after that it’s all 98.7 until the Fabulous Sports Cow comes on. Then it’s time to change the channel again. Too bad 1010 doesn’t have a better signal.

Just thought I’d share this,

The concept of the music issue and recreating album covers with athletes was the idea of ESPN The Magazine contributor Stacey Pressman. Originally, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was a candidate to pose as Michael Jackson. But while having dinner with Bucs fullback Erik Lorig and his sister, Elise, a friend of Pressman, they suggested Freeman.

I don’t know who “doesn’t get it” more, MJ worshipers or Freeman die-hards. The main issue I have with this moronic act is that Freeman allowed himself to be distracted yet again by a party atmosphere when he should have been about football 24/7. He just doesnt take the game serious. He’s more interested in being a Pritty Boy Socialite. Of course this is just my opion. Then again, Boomer seemed to have some interesting info on CBS radio right about the time this was all taking place.

As for those threatening to leave this blog, I loved it when Joe said,”don’t let your mouse hit you in your ass”. A classic Joe, if I’ve ever heard one.

Joe, I know I speak for hundreds if not thousands when I say thanks for exposing this story. Those of us who love the Bucs, want a quarter back who is serious about bringing a championship to Tampa Bay again soon. Thanks again Joe.

@ HAND
Taken from Hawaiian
“Go ahead and look up Flacco’s stats, since he only the last two years he became a good QB. Let me know where his numbers spiked up. He is the model of consistency, year after year. It’s almost scary how similar his numbers are each season. Completions, completion %, yards, TD, INT’s, and ratings are eerily similar every single year. Freeman literally throws more picks in November than Flacco throws all season.”

So, i did some digging myself and apart from his rookie season in 2008
where he had 257 completions for 2971yrds with 60% 14Tds/12Int/80.3 Rating
The next three seasons were indeed “eerily similar” and even than apart from his yards his completions only slightly were lower, along with his TD’s during that rookie season.
Regular season:
2009, 315 for 3613yrds with 63.1% 21Tds/12Int/88.9 Rating
2010, 306 for 3622yrds with 62.6% 25Tds/10Int/93.6 Rating
2011, 312 for 3610yrds with 57.6% 20Tds/12Int/80.9 Rating
2012, 317 for 3817yrds with 59.7% 22Tds/10Int/87.7 Rating

I would say that these stats are quite “consistent”, than again that may be just me.
I feel like from these you can pretty much tell the kind of play Flacco is going to give you year in and year out.

I don’t discount what you provided, nor that there has not been anything written about him saying otherwise. I am merely speaking to what I see in those numbers.

I am lost for words, Schiano better ship this guy out of Tampa since football and consistency is not priority.

BTW, story broke about Pats not liking Talib work ethic and them not offering multi year deal.

Yikes.

This is when ESPN asked him to do it. This is the timetable ESPN set up so they could release the issue when they wanted to. Did he fly off to NY to do it? That *might* be cause for concern. But I’m sure this photo shoot took all of 4 hours at the very, very most…4 hours Freeman would’ve spent playing video games, as he probably has the playbook down now. Did he miss a team meeting? A practice? No? Then what is the issue?

& “controversial figure”? Jackson became a white/black hybrid, whether by disease or choice, & Freeman is of mixed race, so this was an interesting choice by ESPN. It’s also the album cover of traditionally the best selling album of all time…this wasn’t some super *homage* to Michael Jackson…this was establishing a theme of album covers.

& Michael Jackson was semi-exonerated in the court of public opinion, because 1)he was never convicted 2)the outpouring of public love & sympathy after his death. *Some* people privately (maybe even me) think he might’ve messed w/some kids, but again, *the best-selling album cover of all-time during an album-cover theme, w/a guy who could remotely look like the subject on the album cover*.

Look, if you’re a NFL QB who @ that time still was seen as a guy who’d be the face of the franchise for 10 years…& this took 2-4 hours out of an idle afternoon (Aren’t Tuesdays the day players are allowed to get away from it all? Or is that not allowed according to you?)…& you can do something that will up your national profile even more playing on a team with almost zero national exposure…you do the photo shoot.

& look, think of it as providing Freeman even more impetus to play well next year, because if he doesn’t, he’s now a possible backup on another team, & he might be more famous for looking like a classic album cover in a magazine once…

Which QB’s photo looks gayer?

Freeman’s

Sanchez?

Sadly, Freeman wins.
