Flacco isn't elite.
But they've built the offense around his strengths so that when they hit, they hit big plays. Again, to bring up DJ's LN (who's made some really great points this offseason, IMO, so touche), Flacco isn't very accurate intermediate to short, but throws a great deep ball. Therefor, throw the deep ball a ton. Go get guys who can catch said deep ball.
By throwing it deep, you only have to hit a fraction of the percentage of the time to hit big plays.
