Joe flacco

[Mile High Mania]

I don't know why so many people dislike the guy. Is he one of the greatest playing today or ever? No on both counts, but he's really good. The Ravens have a very nice team and Flacco is coming into his own, so yeah - he's going to get paid and he's earned it.

5 years in the league and 5 trips to the playoffs.
54-26 as a starter in the regular season.
8-4 playoff record. Lost the AFCW Title game in 2011, won it in 2012.

The guy has played really well and has some things to accomplish before he approaches Eli and Ben status, but he is far from horrible.

Not to mention...this would be the 2nd year in a row he got his team to the Super Bowl if not for Lee Evans dropping that pass, or possibly if the kicker didn't shank that game tying FG.

That is easy to figure out. We hate all of the other team's quarterbacks because we are jealous. We pine for our own QB and they won't give us one. Well, it could also be jealousy bordering on rage.

Totally get your point but let's face it Von Miller and Broncs D line were no where to be found last week and this weekend was the same from the Pats. Hell you give a big arm like that a ton of time he will eat you alive. That will change in the SB and dollars to donuts Flacco goes back to sh**ting his pants just like he always does when there is a decent pass rush on him. I will change my mind about Flacco IF handles the pass rush and wins.

Until then he is still a 5 o'oclock hitter in my mind. Had the Ravens lost their wildcard game Flacco would be getting axed. Flacco had to redeem himself since he was the one who actually got Cam fired because he was walking a very thin line all season(fans & FO) in Baltimore up to that point with subpar performance whether people realized it or not. So far it has benefited Flacco having no pass rush on him BUT we will see IF he can handle SF.
