1) Flacco – The Great Divider
Firstly, thank you for taking my suggestion – it’s always important to keep reading when instructed to do so … so, where was I? Ah yes, Flacco. An above average quarterback who handled the blitz well, but a guy who struggled when pressure arrived. Flacco was our 28th-ranked quarterback when pressure got to him, strange, because he was so good in that regard in 2009. He also struggled on his deep balls, where he was only the 23rd most accurate passer on balls over twenty yards. So he has some work to do. Hopefully some new weapons will speed up that development but that remains to be seen.
So let me see if I get this. If he was blitzed and they got to him he sucked, if they blitzed and it was picked up he did well.
Doesn't that apply to 95% of all NFL QB's? You blitz and don't get pressure then the defense is hung out.
