Flacco isn't a franchise guy who is struggling...he was never very good...he had one good play off season and that's it.

One of the guys that helped carry him last season is gone..and it is showing.


If you want to talk about Franchise guys who are struggling you should point to Eli Manning...not Flacco.


Alex has actually had better stats than Flacco 3 years running.

You misread my post.

Can I pay my phone bill here?

Alex Smith against teams that score 24 or more points: Two career wins.

Joe Flacco against teams that score 24 or more points: Four wins just LAST YEAR.

Yes, and if Alex Smith has been using your phone, you'll never have to worry about long distance charges.

I wasn't addressing you specifically...I probably should have replied to the earlier comments but this seemed part of that whole conversation.

I hope this isn't directed at me. I believe in Alex Smith even less than you.

I'm agreeing with you, as you know.

Just a little more damning proof for the people who want to poo poo QBs who have won a Super Bowl.

Yeah, but you can't say Smith is below average AND claim that you can't compare him to crappy qb's.

You've thrown out Flacco and Ryan -- how many active qb's are better than Smith? If he's truly below average then that number has to be 20+.

Well, yeah.

Oh, God. They just zoomed in on Jamaal when he had 1-on-1 with a LB. Charles had him beat immediately on a go route.

Anyway someone could gif that up?

Yes, that was one of several shitty reads by the qb.

That was the play that Collinsworth lambasted Alex for not making an effort to get the ball to Jamaal, saying something to the effect of, "when you have a RB on a LB - a total mismatch - the ball HAS to go there. That's a huge mistake."

And that's far from the first time he's ignored that mismatch this season.

The 22 QBs who are rated better than Smith seems like a logical start.
