Ozzie Newsome deserves the most praise, not Joe Flacco . He put competent players at almost every position on that Baltimore team. Joe Flacco's success is a byproduct of that.
People want to harp on his success, most notably his playoff success. Look at his stats.. QB ratings of 59, 10, 18, 61, 48. Sure, he played well this postseason and beat some good defenses.
Even still, his 86 playoff QB rating would have tied Cam Newtwon for 15th overall this past season. His 55% completion percentage would fall 29th this season, one spot behind Jake Locker. He has 2 300 yard games out of 13. 4 games he threw 0 TDs, and 2 games he threw 1 TD.
Has Joe Flacco led teams had success? Sure. Has he "won" the games? Meh. Without Jacoby Jones he isnt a Super Bowl winning QB.
If Kaepernick gets his team into the endzone at the end, does that change his legacy and his perceived accomplishments?

Regular season =/= postseason. That's an interesting stat to bring up. Let's compare some current and former NFL QBs to Joe Flacco's career postseason QB rating of 86.2 (through 13 games). Tom Brady's is 87.4 (24 games), Peyton Manning's is 88.4 (20 games), Eli Manning's is 89.3 (11 games), Roethlisberger's is 83.7 (14 games), Steve Young's is 85.8 (20 games), Dan Marino's is 77.1 (18 games), Terry Bradshaw's is 83.0 (19 games).
Pretty good company, I'd say. And that's only through his first 5 seasons! If Flacco plays only 8 more seasons and maintains his current pace of playoff success (a big "if"), he will have played in and won more playoff games than anyone on that list!

Seems sort of silly to even talk about years 1 and 2 of his career
Over the past 2 post seasons he has had over 95 QB rating in every game
And over the past 3 he has only had one poor rating game against Pittsburgh
