re: Is Joe Flacco really that much better than Matt Ryan?

Joe Flacco can have a bad game and the Ravens still win. Matt Ryan has a bad game and things like the home playoff loss to Green Bay a few years ago happen.

Give me Ryan. If the Falcons invest a little along the line of scrimmage, this team will be unstoppable.

There is no way Flacco is better than Matt Ryan. Flacco has only had a season's passing rating over 90 once for fricks sake.

Better postseason QB? probably. but overall? Nah.

Better post season qb? Isn't that all that matters. Matt Ryan is basically a slightly better Tony Romo. First ballot Fantasy Football Hall of Famer, but nothing to show for it in real life football.

I'll take average regular season stats with great playoff stats EVERY SINGLE TIME

Put Matt Ryan on the Ravens teams Flacco has been on, and you would see the same results. Alot of Flacco's playoff success is attributed to the defense too, but he's playing great this postseason. He'll come down to reality Sunday. Best defense he'll face in the playoffs.

If you want to talk about sample size you can't focus on the playoffs. You have to account for the regular season.

He's won enough games in the regular season to take his team to the playoffs every year since he's been in the playoffs, right?

Factor in that he's a God Damn freak in the playoffs, and this literally isn't a debate. It's idiotic to think Ryan is better than Flacco at this point.
