The only person more surprised than Ravens fans that Cam Cameron is back as Baltimore’s offensive coordinator is Cam Cameron.
At 11 o’clock on Friday, Baltimore let out a collective grumble both verbally and on the Twitter as John Harbaugh announced that Cameron would be returning to call the Ravens plays.
Matt Vensel of Baltimore Sun posted some interesting comments from Cam-squared after the announcement. Apparently, Cameron told “some co-workers” that he didn’t believe he’d be back as his contract was due to expire and the Ravens had yet to reach out to him to renew it.
“I called Ozzie and said, ‘Hey, I’m just thrilled to be back,’” Cameron said according to Vensel. “Ozzie said, ‘Cam, in our minds, you were never gone.’
Is that really the guy you want in charge of your offense? A guy that says he’s “just thrilled to be back.” What a train wreck.
We have two dysfunctional teams in this town. One quit pretending to care several years ago and the other takes subtle jabs that those blinded by purple colored glasses haven’t waken up to see. Don’t quote me the “4 straight years to the playoffs” crap, either. A team with this much talent SHOULD be in the top 6 in the AFC every year, that is not a lofty expectation. This team, this owner has gone on public record and said ” our goal is to MAKE the playoffs each year”. Mission Accomplished.
I wish the owner would have said our goal is to “win championships”. This Harbaugh hiring, the continuance of Cam and an offense that underachieved in 8 of 16 games, the way they have began to treat the fans with closing up training camp, instructing fans not to show up at the complex after major victories, the arrogance to think a now 3 time loser in Kindle was a good gamble with their first pick…
Would 6-10 make you happy? This team will not win championships every year no team in any sport does. 4 straight years in the playoffs is not a bunch of crap my friend ask the Buffalo Bills and Oakland Raiders.
Keep settling for being one of the “Top 6 Teams” Don, that’s exactly what this ownership wants you to do. If you’re happy with “making the playoffs” good for you, but I’m not.
You bring up the Bills, do you remember that they went to 4 straight Super Bowls? Of course you don’t, because nobody cares who finished second.
In the Ravens case, nobody outside of Glen Burnie, Harwood, Dundalk, etc. remembers who “went to the playoffs”.
Good enough for you, not good enough for me.
I agree with mgw,,,,,,,,,,the talent alone gets this team to the playoffs , good coaching takes this team to the super bowl,,,,,,,,,,,this team will not win a super bowl with Harbaugh at the top,,,,,,,,,,,I too am starting to believe just getting there is all they want , the players want more and so do the fans but this coaching staff stands in the way,,,,,,,,don’t even get me started on ozzies second round draft choices……….
maybe i should stop and listen to whats going on,,,,,,,,instead of the little voices in my head. its driving me crazy. What if we became redskins fans,,,,,, they have a lot more to cheer about……
Hey Spy, I think someone is ghost writing for you again.
you are correct , it is that little man who lives with the waterbugs in his mommies home,,,,,,,,,,,,the real problem is the direction of the Ravens has changed since Bisciotti has taken over and most fans don’t realize it yet , but they will when they see what happens to the team as a result of poor salary cap management…………….
I agree with spy , this team will get younger in some areas and older in others , but the bottom line is , it will get cheaper and lessor in quality talent.
