hes not a bust, but hes nothing special and probably never will be.
We are finally starting to see why Pioli passed on Sanchez for Cassel as well. Sanchez's "upside" wasnt that great. Neither was Cassel's but he decided to go with the proven guy over the unproven. |

You guys would ****ing crucify Cassel if he was on that team... No need to sugar coat Flacco, just because he isnt Cassel. |

Not sure Flacco looks like a top-five pick, but I agree with the first paragraph, and it's longer.

He's not a bust. He's probably not a franchise QB and he is having a bad year so far.

Flacco should be better than he is, no question.
I can't call him a 'bust'; he's pretty much an average NFL quarterback. Kyle Boller was a bust, Joe Flacco is just a mild disappointment.

I said last year the Jets and Ravens were overrated because their QB's weren't all that great...I ended up being wrong about both teams last year...
but at least I wasn't wrong about their QB's! |

I sure wouldnt want to build a team around him...
He gets way too many excuses for his lack of QB play... |

I sure would love to have a combo of Jamaal Charles and Ray Rice in our backfield though! How amazing would that be.

Flacco looks like he'd feel right at home with the Adam's Family. Just a bit creepy

for the most part, all the QB's for the Ravens the last 12 years or so have not been pedestrian. The Ravens D gives them great field position and scores quite a few defensive TD's, so mediocre QB play is overlooked. It's also easier to take chances when you know your D isn't gonna give up many points.

Theres something very Everett-esque about the guy imo, has some decent skills but never seems to put it all together, he doesnt inspire any confidence from me at all.

The Ravens this year have moved on to a team that is trying to add an offensive side to a team that has won with defense and a run game but ran into a ceiling. Flacco is very Romoesque. He can look great and then make stupid mistakes or get out of rhythm. He's having trouble with the increased load on him this year. He's a game to game QB. He can get on a roll like Eli did the year he won the Super Bowl. He can also flame out and be a complete fail, all in the same game.
