re: Analysis of Cam's offense vs Jim Caldwell's for Ravens

That is a stupid fricking article.
First of all, there was no "Jim Caldwell Offense" for the Ravens last year. It was Cam's offense from start to finish, which he developed for 5 years after mentoring Flacco as a rookie QB out of Delaware.
Cherry picking two games that illustrate his point, including one against Pittsburgh, which had one of the best defense over the middle (think that has anything to do with why they didn't attack the middle??) is a fricking horrible attempt to pretend to have done some valid analysis. Maybe the match ups were better on the outside. Maybe Cam called middle routes and Flacco or the receivers adjusted their routes based on what the defense was doing??
Not to mention Pitt, Houston, and SD all had top 10 defenses last year while NE wasn't even top 20. Hell NE was 29th in pass D.
Flacco just played better in the playoffs, the same way he did in 2011. Overall, their offensive numbers were actually slightly down after Cam left.
And Pitta wasn't any more of a factor post Cam, and Boldin's targets were about the same too, although Flacco went to him a lot in the Super Bowl. But Boldin had 4 games with at least as many targets under Cam as he did in that game.
Stupid article trying to create a narrative.
Pitta's game by game stats
Boldin's game by game stats
Their offense was exactly the same after Cam, but they just played a bit better, which the Ravens always did down the stretch because they were a veteran team that knew when to turn it on.
Hell, Cam would have been at LSU in 2012 had the Ravens not turned it on in the playoffs the same way in 2011 before a dropped TD pass by Lee Evans in the AFCCG kept them out of the Super Bowl. Everyone in Baltimore thought Cam was gone at the end of 2011 before they rallied in the playoffs and Harbaugh brought him back for 2012.
Cam is at LSU because he began to butt heads with Flacco who became a cocky superstar that didn't want to have an overbearing coach like Cam anymore despite the fact that Cam is the one that mentored him out of college to become the pro he is now.
Flacco's laid back personality outgrew Cam's intense coaching style once he became the star and didn't feel like working with him anymore. Period.

The main point of this article is that Cam prefers to work the seams to the sidelines, while Caldwell is more focused on thei middle of the field.
For us, I think Cam's approach is a better fit. Throwing over the middle is riskier, and the outside is Bama's weakness.

The retard writer says this:

Look at all the in-breaking routes (especially deeper down the middle of the field) the Ravens used under Caldwell compared to Cameron.
And yet the only difference is that Flacco actually completed the ones under Caldwell. WTFrick?

The two offensive coordinators had one common opponent (New England) and Flacco threw for 380 and 3 TDs with Cam as the coordinator.
As for Cam not utilizing routes over the middle, there was this guy in San Diego who was pretty decent over the middle. I think his name was, uhhhhh, Antonio Gates.
The most overlooked thing in all of Cam's analysis is that his QBs had 3.2 years of starting experience while he was in San Diego and Baltimore. He was developing really young quarterbacks and developing them into top-notch players.
