Joe Flacco is underrated if anything... Anytime the Ravens are brought up it's all about their defense. Flacco is having another really good year.
Yeah, then they lost to the Colts because Joe Flacco couldn't get the team in the end zone.He certainly didn't reach the playoffs last year on the legs of their defense and running game. The running game and the defense were both excellent, but he threw for 3600 yards and had a good TD/INT ratio.
Not to mention Flacco was pretty much awful in every other playoff game they played in.Yeah, then they lost to the Colts because Joe Flacco couldn't get the team in the end zone.
I don't know why soo many people are high on him, he still takes sacks he shouldn't take, by just standing in the pocket and not throwing it away. If the game is on the line he has not shown he can carry his team down the field to score, especially in a playoff game with a lot on the line. Yes, he's been in the playoffs basically every year, but one thing I can make clear, it wasn't because of the offense. This year it's more on Joe so we'll see where he takes the Ravens come playoff time. We'll see what he does with the pressure. He's got to prove more to me before I think he's really good.Not to mention Flacco was pretty much awful in every other playoff game they played in.
Ray Rice, Anquan Boldin, Todd Heap, Derrick Mason, and a franchise LT qualify as weapons to me. Yes Mason was pretty good, Flacco is just overrated. I hate that oh he has no weapons excuse.I don't know why soo many people are high on him, he still takes sacks he shouldn't take, by just standing in the pocket and not throwing it away.

And what was his QB rating in those games? Against the Steelers he probably had like a rating of 10. Defense.. Defense.. They had what? Top 3 defense? He didn't do much in his Rookie and Sophomore seasons from his stand point.He went to the playoffs in his rookie and sophomore season. Obviously he's not going to look like Brady out there. You guys tend to forget that these guys are still very young and that they're not going to be playing like the game's elite.
Is Manning overrated because he's been unsuccessful in the games that matter the most? He did win a ring, but he was given the God-like praise before that.
*No, I'm not comparing him to Peyton, so please don't come back with the Flacco can't hold Peyton's jock typical response.
Manning not being successful in big games isn't true. 99 in his first playoff leads his team back in the game, team can't finish comeback. 2000 he plays well. Defense on the other hand, played horrendous, allowing Lamar Smith to curbstomp them. Yet Manning leads them on a game winning drive, only problem is that he didn't have Adam V. 05 vs the Steelers Nick Harper fails really really badly, to pretty much put it in Peyton's hands. He does Peyton leads them on a game tying drive, Vanderchoke misses again. 07-08 games vs the Chargers weren't chokes. The Super Bowl wasn't his fault either. Now listen, I'm not on anyone's jock, but from what I can tell you is that pick was mostly on Wayne. Back on topic, though. I don't think Flacco is bad at all, it's just people tend to overrate him.He went to the playoffs in his rookie and sophomore season. Obviously he's not going to look like Brady out there.
