Cam Newton was drafted by the worst team in the NFL.
Joe Flacco was drafted by a perennial playoff team with a great defense and a great running game.
Joe Flacco hadn't accomplished shit in the NFL either...until he strung together two good postseasons...
you know, which is ****ing nice and all other than the fact he puts in abysmal regular season after abysmal regular season.
I understand postseason football is where it really counts but good luck continuing to get to the postseason with Joe Flacco as your QB once that elite defense gets old and regresses (UH OH, THAT JUST HAPPENED)...
He still needs to take that regular season step before I can consider him elite. Maybe the monkey is off his back now because everyone is sucking his dick and he can put in a great regular season and then I'll fully admit he's great (because I know he has that potential)...
but MY MONEY IS ON another Joe Flacco year...and I'm predicting they go 8-8 because the QB doesn't show up on the road.
