JOE FLACCO RUMORS & GOSSIP

For Thursday’s newspaper, I began a three-part series called “Tweaking the Ravens” and I started by tweaking the offense. A big chunk of the analysis piece ( you can find it here ) was about the importance of continuity and stability for Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who took a step forward in the team’s recent postseason run.

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti emphatically backs the play of quarterback Joe Flacco and guarantees running back Ray Rice will be on the roster next season. Rice is an unrestricted free agent and Flacco's contract expires after the 2012 season. But Bisciotti promised both would be ''part of this team'' in 2012. Bisciotti, general manager Ozzie Newsome...

Coming off an uneven statistical year, Flacco remains a unique caseA little over 10 months ago, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti provided a timetable for negotiations with quarterback Joe Flacco on a long-term contract extension.

There are many different ways to explain the Ravens’ stupefying loss in the AFC Championship game.

Or at the kicker that decided then was a good time to implode, shanking a tying chip shot field goal — all thanks to that darn...

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has taken a public beating this postseason.

Flacco would hit a couple of his receivers to start the drive and they were able to get out of bounds to stop the clock. Then when it looked as though the Ravens were going to be stopped,Flacco found his man down field to move Baltimore...

Joe Flacco is without a doubt the most scrutinized player in the NFL today. While his large list of accomplishments during his first four seasons should more than suffice, Flacco still cannot get rid of the title of “game manager.” With a win tomorrow, Joe Flacco will become the first quarterback in NFL history to win 50 games in his first four seasons. That’s an...

The teammates orchestrated a fake fight before practice Thursday to assuage any doubts that the two harbor any ill will toward each other due to the safety's recent critical comments about the Ravens QB.

One of Joe Flacco's neighbors called the team to try and report to GM Ozzie Newsome that the QB was skateboarding in his driveway.

The terms of his rookie contract stipulate that the Ravens QB will earn a $200,000 bonus for every postseason victory.
