The whole game plan revolved around ray rice, even to the point it cost CC his job.

actually he probably didn't give Rice the ball enough. He used the shite out of LaDanian Tomlinson though.

And why do we need three threads on Cam Cameron?

you can thank Flacco for that. He wanted to throw the ball more.

It was a known thing (read a lot in fantasy) that Flacco bitched the whole offseason about wanting to throw the ball more, and take offense more into his hands

Cause we reached the limit on ones talking about booms and secret sources.

That is accurate.

Some people said that CC firing was more of a wake up call for the team. I believe that the yards per game only went up about 40 yards.

that firing had everything to do with Cameron and Harbaugh hating each other.

I wonder if LF has watched any Baltimore games when CC was OC. The whole game plan revolved around ray rice, even to the point it cost CC his job. And I think we all know how CLM loves big durable backs. If he doesn't sign with us, he will missed the chance of a lifetime, and maybe the same could be said for LSU

Hey diddle diddle Fournette TD for LSU up the middle!!!

Cameron is a complete package guy, and the first coach in a very, very long time at LSU with legit QB development skills. I think he's a great fit for any Offensive player regardless of position who wants to play in the NFL.

He has definitely had success with running and passing. He used LaDamian Tomlinson brilliantly in San Diego, and he helped Drew Brees immensely among others; in Baltimore, he helped Flacco develop into a highly regarded QB as much as he helped Ray Rice.

The complaints about Cameron not using Rice enough stemmed from losses where play calling was second guessed. For as much of a big deal was made of this-- and used as some as justification for why he was let go-- Rice averaged one more carry per game after Cameron left (as someone else noted).

Cameron did have at least one very public fight with Harbaugh, which likely diminished his chances of being retained once that possibility got a little steam, but I'm pretty sure it was the Ravens organization wanting to appease Flacco that was the greater catalyst. Ironically, it was Cameron's tutelage that really helped Flacco excel. It would be purely guesswork (for me anyway) to suggest Flacco was a prima donna or Cameron became inflexible and didn't listen to Flacco, etc. The broad sentiment Harbaugh expressed when he let Cameron go was that the team needed to be shaken up in some way.

Regardless of the politics that drove that situation-- Cameron is a hell of an offensive coordinator who has had a lot of success. And I look forward to seeing the direction the offense takes this season.
