Taylor Talks: Was Firing Zorn An Insult To Flacco?
I think that there is certainly a lot of drama around the announcement that the Ravens decided to fire QB coach Jim Zorn. Quite frankly, I'm glad to see Joe Flacco get so fired up about something but at the same time, should he really be so surprised? It can't come as a shock to him that the Ravens would make some changes to their coaching staff after their disappointment with the offensive play this season. After announcing that Cam Cameron would return to the coaching staff in 2011, I think that replacing Jim Zorn was somewhat predictable. However, I don't think that Flacco should be reacting so personally to this announcement. People have been criticizing the inability of the offense to make big plays all season and his name has certainly has earned its own fair share of criticism. I think Flacco should look at this as the Ravens giving him the opportunity to work with someone who will continue to help shape him into the all-star QB that he seems to have the potential to be. Something wasn't working this season and the Ravens have finally made an attempt to shake things up and make some changes. For that, I respect them and I look forward to seeing what else they do to strengthen our offense and elevate our overall level of play in 2011. The internet, in particular Twitter, is certainly on fire over this issue and the Ravens have announced that they do not plan to respond to Flacco's comments. I will throw the question out to you all in the mean time; do you think that there is legitimate reason for Flacco to be offended?
