Joe flacco

[farmerchief]

Flacco looks pretty impressive tonight. He has really picked it up the past few games. I wonder which of the new group of QB's coming in the draft, most resemble his game?

Flacco's elite, not sure how anyone can dispute that at this point.

Two months ago people were talking about how they wouldn't take him if he was available next offseason. I wasn't one of them, but it's amazing how the tide has turned.

We're beginning to see the transition from the old guard (Brady, Manning, Brees, Rivers, etc) to the new guard (Flacco, Kaep, Ryan, Wilson, etc).

Career path seems alot like Eli's. Yeah, I'd def. take him.

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.

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.

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.

Not in January of 2013. For christ sake let him play a down before you want to lump him into any group - especially those who are becoming NFL stud QBs.

I wasn't being serious there.

You gotta remember this board was declaring that Alex Smith was a franchise QB last year because of a few good plays against a shitty Saints defense.

Flacco isn't elite, but he's having a hell of a nice run in a contract year.

[crispystl420]

They can keep him as far as I'm concerned.

[TheGuardian]

Matt Ryan is also not a "new guard" QB. That guy is a major choke artist.

Yeah, who wants a QB that consistently wins in the playoffs anyway?

Shoot for the moon not the horizon. Do you want to pay Flacco the money to come here? Seriously? If so be my ****ing guest. He's overrated and you know it.
