Flacco sure as hell had an elite run in the playoffs.
That is all that you can ask of your QB; Get it done when it counts the most. |

He's good, just not worthy of #1 player in the league.

Worth more than Axl ever will be, and that's all you need to know.

I wonder if Alex Smith would have been a top 5 paid QB in NFL history if he won the Superbowl in 2011. Seriously.

I've said it several times - Joe Flacco isn't better than Alex Smith, he's just different.
Flacco is a bomber. He's going to challenge downfield a lot and miss a lot. He's equally inaccurate at pretty much all levels. There's nothing accurate or consistent about Joe Flacco as a passer - the guy just flat misses passes at a pretty alarming rate, as we saw last night. But the Ravens have made him the perfect example of how an erratic passer should be used. If you can't be counted on to throw a 10 yard slant accurately (where it could easily be picked), might as well chuck it downfield where you can pick up a PI or a high reward play. Worst case scenario is a pick that operates as a punt. That's exactly how you utilize QBs like Flacco and Manning it's how you should utilize guys that are even worse than that (Sanchez is my favorite example). Smith is the opposite - he's exceptionally accurate and consistent on the short passes so that's how best to utilize him. If you were to grade their overall effectiveness, they're both B- quarterbacks. Flacco just does it in an entirely different way than Smith does.

Smith's limitations are downfield passing. Flaccos are ball control, accuracy and mobility.

If you don't have super star WRs like Boldin, you're probably better off with Alex. |

This is the first time Flacco will be asked to carry a team and i'm not sure he can. Maybe it was just a shock factor and he will adjust but i don't know.
Flacco looked a bit Cutler-esque last night to me.
