Flacco 9th on Jaws QB lists

**Corey** · 07-03-2012, 07:47 PM

Of course haters are going to hate and people are saying he doesn't deserve to be that high. What do Ravens fans think?

We've been through this 1 million times but he really doesn't get enough credit. People look at his stat line, which has been dreadful at times, and think he's had no impact on the game when in the end he was probably the big reason we won the game. Quick example of a dreadful stat line but a tremendous positive impact on the game is the divisional playoff game vs. Tenn. in 2008. Flacco made two of the most clutch throws you'll ever see him make to get us into field goal range in that game.

I'm not a fan of QB rankings at all, but if I had to rank them, I'd probably have Flacco at around nine too (or there abouts). The whole Flacco debate is really starting to piss me the fuck off tbh, so sick and tired of endless debates about him.

He's a good QB with potential to get better and win a championship with a very good team. People just need to live with that and move on.

I want to see what Flacco can do without Cam in the worst way. That's the only way we'll really know how good he really is. 4 years later and Cam just doesn't seem to trust him enough to open things up. Please, please, please let year 5 be different.

9 seems about right to me.

**seraph** · 07-03-2012, 09:34 PM

lol at ranking above Romo and Schaub.

Flacco hasnt even started yet. Wait til he gets in his groove over the next 6 years.

i love flaccos ability to turn the ball over late in crucial close games

**ActualSpamBot** · 07-04-2012, 07:21 AM

I agree SgtCouchPotato. Like in Pitt last year when he threw that pick with less than a minute left! Or all those terrible fuck ups in the second half of the Arizona debacle. Not to mention how he just totally blew it against the Texans in a playoff game where everyone on the offense played lights out except for him.

Oh shit, I have just been informed that it is NOT opposite day and your complaint has literally no grounding in reality. But thanks for crawling out of your hole to once again bitch about the team. Have you ever had a good thing to say? I've looked through your old posts and it seems like all you do is pop up every now and then to piss on the team and then disappear.

pardon me if as a football fan im critical of my favorite team and don't wear purple glasses like others on here..

flacco's career in the playoffs 8tds 8 ints...

he has been better in the playoffs the last 2 season... throwing 7 tds and only 2 ints...but in those 4 playoffs games over the past two seasons he's also put the ball on the turf 4 times....

has he had clutch moments in big games? sure.. has he had as many, (if not more) turnovers in big games? yes..

Yea, with the game on the line, Romo is about the last quarterback I'd want on my team.

That's just not true...or even close to true. You dig up all the late game turnovers and I'll dig up all the clutch moments in big games and I'll guarantee you I come up with double what you come up with...at least.

I'd say that's where he should be in relation to captain choker andthe fragile guy in Houston. Flacco hasn't missed a game and has won a game in the playoffs every year. Houston finally MADE it to the playoffs despite having a great team around Schaub the whole time, including Andre Johnson, the only reason his stats look better.

**BcRaven** · 07-04-2012, 11:42 AM

I wonder where Trent Dilfer was on some QB list in 2000 (?) I really don't care where Flacco is rated, or by whom, but that he brings another Super Bowl championship to Baltimore... Bc

Some people have moved on from 2010. Others still think of Flacco in terms the 5 turnovers in he playoffs. You seem to be the latter.

The team only had one turnover last post season and one of those games was against the leagues best defense.

By the way, Flacco has 11 come from behind wins in his career.

**Haloti92** · 07-04-2012, 01:17 PM

Flacco's #9 ranking from Jaws loses a bit of luster when you realize that Jaws ranks Jay Cutler as #8. And his primary reason for the ranking is the same as the reason for Flacco's ranking, a big arm.

I think most people would rank Flacco around 10-14, but a few spots here or there in such a subjective exercise is negligible.

**JAB1985** · 07-04-2012, 03:49 PM

Flacco can make throws other "top" or "elite" qbs cant. His ability is tops his stats arent. If you can see past numbers you can see a very good qb or even great with room to improve, if you cant you see a middle of the pact qb thats stuck in a bad system and never going to change. Flacco imo is a great qb and every bit capable of those huge numbers of the "elite" qbs if he was in that system.

I think that's a little optimistic.
