Yes, he was phenomenal in the playoffs. 11 tds, and 0 picks. Impressive. He still by the letter of the law, was a game manager that relied on Ray Rice, and his defense in the regular season.......
Did he not? It takes a complete team around your FRANCHISE qb to win. The chiefs have a pretty decent team around Alex Smith now.

I was one of the most vocal about getting a little lucky in the Denver game. It doesn't change the fact that he also threw big league, aggressive passes that were right on the money. How can you toss this ridiculous idea out there that flacco game managed his way to a super bowl? He basically threw 280+ per game in the playoffs and in the last 2 games, rice combined for 100 yards. And the ravens defense was terrible last year.
It doesn't take a complete team anymore to win a super bowl. Flacco won with one of the worst ravens defenses in recent memory. Brees had a horrible defense and an average supporting offensive cast. Same with Aaron Rodgers. The colts were a nightmare without Peyton, and Brady took a team with reche Caldwell and jAbar gaffney as starters to the AFc championship.
