re: 1140 Yards, 11 Touchdowns, 0 Interceptions, beat Manning AND Brady on the road

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!

I wasn't comparing his QB Rating to anyone else. I was just saying he has been mediocre in the playoffs and his team deserves more credit.

I also don't think success in the playoffs means you're a good QB. Mark Sanchez has a 94 QB Rating in the playoffs and is 4-2.

As for the guys you listed, Brady had a QB rating of 90 and 3 SB rings in his first 13 playoff games.

Manning is a notorious playoff choker.

Flacco is probably on Eli and Ben's level.

The other guys are different eras.

Either way, those guys have played more playoff games. They have also proved to be the best QBs in the regular season consistently. We are talking 10+ years as a top 3 QB for most of those guys. Flacco is generally ranked outside the top 10 in all regular season statistics.
