I guess there had to be a scape goat. No one's going to put the blame where it belongs – on "Chockin" Joe Flacco. Zorn was responsible for Flacco improving in every statistical way possible this year. What can't be coached is how to step up in big games. Just look at the numbers for the quarterbacks who made it to the final 4. Look at the plays they made when games were on the line. Then look at Flacco's numbers. There's a pattern . The fans see it. The press sees it. I've heard several commentators mention Flacco's "deer in the headlights" look. That's why we'll never beat Pittsburg when it counts. Firing Zorn for not being able to get Flacco to step up like Big Ben shows the Ravens are in a serious state of denial. Dilfer never had the arm or the stats that Flacco has. But when it came time to step up, there was no fear in his eyes. He knew how to lead and inspire his team. Flacco's better than anyone we've had since Dilfer, but we need another leader like Dilfer if the Ravens are going to have another shot at winning it all.
