"We put 28 points up so you're not going to say that it's a reaction to a down offensive performance," said Harbaughin a news conference that was both awkward and tense at times. "It would be real easy to go the route that says, 'It's the result of something and somebody is taking the blame for something.' It is not that. People are going to believe what they want to believe. It's what I believe is best going forward for our offense and for our football team. Cam was doing a heck of a job here. He did a heck of a job here for a long time. I believe that and I also believe that right now at this time, the timing says that this is the best thing and this is what we're going to do."
Harbaugh, in his fifth season as Ravens head coach, declined to say what owner Steve Bisciotti's level of involvement was in the move, calling it "a coaching decision, my decision." He also said that Flacco was not consulted. The fifth-year quarterback had a lukewarm relationship with Cameron and in an interview with The Baltimore Sun last week, Flacco admitted his frustration with the team moving away from the no-huddle offense that was successful earlier in the season. Several players also have been critical of how vanilla the Ravens' offense had become.
