Bulger over Flacco?

His preseason performance won't do anything to change that, nor will Bulger's.
Flacco is the starter and will continue to be the starter unless he gets hurt, takes a gigantic step backwards in his development, toilet papers GM Ozzie Newsome's car, or decides he's going to pull a Glen Coffee.

He completed eight passes in a row at one point, led the wholesale Ravens jersey to scores on two of the three drives he orchestrated, and was one of the stars of the game. But Bulger was brought here to provide insurance for Flacco, not compete with him.

Yes, Bulger looked great on Saturday. There's no doubt about that.

The third-year quarterback had a bit of a shaky outing against a defense that finished the 2009 season ranked 10th in the league. That's all.

Flacco didn't leave one of his star receivers out to dry a la Matt Leinart. He didn't throw five interceptions a la Jake Delhomme. And he didn't run the wrong way with the ball a la Jim Marshall.

Seriously, folks? Are we that desperate for things to talk about?

Glad to see Eli will be back. Good test for the D this weekend. I just hope the pass rush does not open that wound up on him. You saw McNabb walking aroung hurt after he got chased and knocked around

Last time I checked the Ravens won the game 23-3. All alot of fans can focus on is the negatives of the game. I guess that comes with High expectations. I think most fans think the Defense should not ever let up a long pass or Flacco and the offense should put of 40 points per game. News flash people. The guys on the other side of the ball are pretty good football players too. It will take some time for these guys to gel in the offense. Even though we have a talented group it does not mean they will score TD's at will. So folks, calm down. Don't panic on Flacco just yet. Also, don't panic everytime a pass is caught for long yardage. It happens to all D's. I know that fans have been spoiled over the years with the amazing D that the Ravens have had. You have to remember that along with that D came an offense that we saw alot of 3 and outs and field goals. This team is different. There will be a little more scoring on both sides of the ball. And by the way, our D only let up 9 total points in 2 games so far. Pretty good.

Some fans are under the impression that Saturday's preseason game against the cheap Redskins jersey , in which Flacco went a pedestrian 9-of-16 for 72 yards while Bulger posted an impressive line of 13-for-16 for 130 yards, is an indication that the veteran Bulger should be the Ravens' starting quarterback.

For some reason, the bulk of the Ravens-themed calls I've heard on sports talk radio stations the last two days have centered around quarterbacks Joe Flacco jersey and Marc Bulger.
