Flacco had a great year and post season and yes won the Super Bowl but damn this is ridiculous

the best QB's dont win every year shite Colin Kaepernick almost won it this year yall are saying because he was in the Super Bowl this year and Brees, Brady, Peyton, and Rodgers were on the couch that all of a sudden Colin is better?

How about Brees being the OC and QB this year with the worst Defense in the history of the NFL? Or Peyton playing with no running game? Or Brady playing with a terrible defense? Or Rodgers with no running game and a shitty defense? Throw about 7 other QB's on the Ravens team and the Ravens are a better team

Grow the frick up Flacco had a great year he has moved past Big Ben, Stafford, and Eli in my book but to say he is better than Brady, Brees, Peyton, Rodgers, and even Matt Ryan is just asinine

Could Flacco eventually be placed amongst those 5? Sure but to say that right now is pure stupidity

Consistently playing in the top tier is the key to being a top 5 QB not having one great year in the playoffs -- he has been a good 2nd tier QB -- and if you measure winning as being elite how do you rank Flacco compared to Dan Marino (great QB who never won the Super Bowl) or Andy Dalton (young QB who has taken his team to the playoffs in his first two years)?

He did a great job this year but before I put him ahead of any of the top 5 QB's in league he needs to show me that the Ravens offense is consistently better that Ravens defense

This past regular season the Ravens were 15th in the league in passing yards per game and 16th in total yards per game when Flacco puts this team in the top 5 offenses year in and year out then lets talk

You still had an OC and yards =/= points. You didn't have the worst defense in history.

quote:

Or Peyton playing with no running game?


They were 16th in rushing yards.

quote:

9th in scoring defense which was better than the Ravens' defense.

quote:

Or Rodgers with no running game and a shitty defense?


No argument on the running game part, but their defense was just behind the Patriots and ahead of the Ravens.

quote:

Name all 7.

Outside of Ryno's trolling, no one is saying that. I'm saying the gap isn't as big as some people think.

He's better than Ryan right now.

quote:

how do you rank Flacco compared to Dan Marino (great QB who never won the Super Bowl


Marino is one of the top 3 quarterbacks to ever play the game so I don't know what point you are trying to make comparing players whose careers were separated by 8 years.

quote:

Andy Dalton (young QB who has taken his team to the playoffs in his first two years)?


He's easily better than Dalton. Dalton has a stud receiver and a emerging stud tight end with a consistently high performing o-line.

quote:

show me that the Ravens offense is consistently better that Ravens defense


Their offense was 10th in the league in PPG while the defense was tied for 12th in points allowed.

quote:

This past regular season the Ravens were 15th in the league in passing yards per game


They were also 15th in passing attempts. Flacco had the 6th lowest int rate in the league - Better than Brees, Ryan, and Eli.
