Former Colts Coach Caldwell On Flacco

[WeSpy]

New Baltimore Ravens' quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell is making it a point to set the bar low for Joe Flacco. At least, lower than where it would be if Flacco were Peyton Manning.

Caldwell coached Manning, a four-time league MVP, for a full decade. While he sees plenty in Flacco that makes him "dangerous," he's not trying to make the Ravens' starter the next Manning.

“Everybody’s different,” Caldwell told the team's official website. “[Flacco] has his own strengths, and what we want to try to do is accentuate those.

Makes sense. You don't want to hold him to the same standards as Peyton because there is only 1 Peyton. Work with his strengths, don't try to mold him into someone else

After trying to fit the square peg named Curtis Painter into a round hole named the "Built for Peyton" offense that cost him his job, he probably learned a lesson or two. Don't you think?

Doesn't matter. Flacco could throw for 4500 yards and 30 touchdowns, and Caldwell won't get any credit.

No more than he would get all the grief if Flacco throws 28 INTs to only 9 TDs ...

Caldwell is in fact 'tickled' to be working with Flacco. 'Relieved' to go from Painter/Orlovsky from Flacco, maybe? But 'tickled', really?

Now should Flacco be flattered?
