Firing Marty Mornhinweg would not accomplish anything for the Ravens:
The Ravens shouldn’t fire Marty Mornhinweg. The first thing fans want to do is point to a scapegoat. It’s a tradition as old as losing in sports. When you really stop to think about it, there is really nothing that can be gained from firing Mornhinweg. Would that make Flacco play like a competent passer? Would that make the wide receivers run routes better? Do you really think doing away with the offensive coordinator would make Breshad Perriman and Mike Wallace catch more passes? The Ravens offense has problems that can’t be solved by quick fixes from the coaching staff.
It has become almost an involuntary reflex in Baltimore, to call for the axing of the offensive coordinator. Fans became fed up with every coordinator not named Gary Kubiak in the Harbaugh era.
The Ravens need to find another way to solve their problems:
Harbaugh has fired two offensive coordinators in his tenure. When you look at the Ravens offensive problems, there is nothing new about them. Harbaugh’s Ravens have seldom given the fans exciting offense. The Ravens as a franchise just don’t get offensive football. They don’t understand how to make it work.
Firing the offensive coordinator is sometimes the right thing to do. When the Ravens fired Cam Cameron for example, they did it because the offense had stop growing. This is not a time where firing the offensive coordinator is going to help the team. The only thing it would accomplish this season is giving Harbaugh and company a pass for their failures to make this work. Accountability is nice, but firing the offensive coordinator is not holding the team accountable for a total failure as a team. This is my argument, so let me break it down piece by piece.
