A day after Joe Flacco's worst game of his rookie season, Ravens coach John Harbaugh reaffirmed his commitment to him, saying once again that he will stick with his rookie first-round pick as the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. We believe he's our starter. Joe's our guy," Harbaugh said today. "I'm never a guy that's going to sit up here and say, 'Never ever.' But I don't envision a scenario today where Joe is not going to be our starter this year, save an injury."

I am committed to him. Really, I mean it too. He is gonna make everyone forget about Ray Lewis and even McNair. This boy is gonna be....one day....the top passer in the AFC. For real, this is a promise and not only in the dreams that I have about the NFL. He is that good and he may not end up being a Elway of even a Marino, but he will be better than Rob Johnson or even some of the players that are out and have been playing for a couple of years.

He's the future. Look at how bad Manning was in Indy his first couple years and he had more weapons than Flacco does at his disposal.

I live in Indy and am a Colts fan. I think Joe will be very good soon, I was impressed with his poise and I am sure he learned many things on Sunday. Good Luck Joe.

AT LEAST GET TROY SMITH SOME SERIES, it's funny how ravens forget how good or at least better he did leading the team when he got the chance last year.

Wasn't this the team that was ready to hand the job to Troy Smith before he got sick? I'm not criticizing, I'm just questioning how this happened. Flacco may have a future in the NFL but he has looked absolutely atrocious at times since being given the job. I just don't get the idea of not giving Smith a look.
