Like I said, so did Sanchez. What are we going to be saying when his regular season stats aren't good enough to carry the team into the playoffs? I suspect that'll be happening this year.
Granted, I realize he's a much better QB than Sanchez in the regular season, just will people be saying the same once they stop missing the playoffs?
Sanchez was never very good to begin with, Flacco has been very solid in the regular season and great in the playoffs. Not sure I really understand the comparison. Don't you think 5 playoff appearances in a row and a SB win buys Flacco some credit for a while? What else does the guy have to do?
I think most fans would be elated if Griffin puts up a similar run.

What is your deal with Joe Flacco? He's started every game for the Ravens since being drafted and they've been a playoff team every single year he's taken over. He brings stability and he can make all the throws. Sanchez is not in the same league as Flacco, and I don't care what the stats say. He doesn't play in a wide open offense so his stats probably will never be great. But he's a pretty damn good Qb.

Joe Flacco is now 7-4 in the postseason with five road wins, tied for all-time best with Eli Manning and Roger Staubach. In his past six playoff games (four on the road) he has thrown 12 touchdown passes to just two interceptions.
Comparing to Sanchez is crazy.
Ravens still have a good offensive line and a good RB.
Ravens might not make it back to the Super Bowl, but teams that make it 2 years in a row is rare these days.

Measurements won't matter if he can't catch, or run the right route, or even block.
I have a bunch of Eagles fans as friends and family ( I know I know but they Re great people ). The word on this guys so far is very positive from the laymans who have been to camp. So tAke that as you will

Well, I guess Sanchez was a proven QB eh? Will you be saying the same thing once Flacco starts missing the playoffs?
Come on NC you know comparing Sanchez to Flacco is not even comparable. The Jets really made those two playoff runs despite Sanchez.

Probably Grossman, even he is better than Sanchez. I would take him over Sanchez in a heartbeat.

I think you all missed exactly what I said. Othewise, you wouldn't be saying anything about comparing Flacco with Sanchez. I think I acknowledged Flacco is a much better QB. However, hist stats are average at best in the regular season, and YOU all keep harping about the post season. There is more to the game than just the post season. I understand many of you put a heavy weight on it, but it's laughable to do so. See Giantone's Eli is better than Peyton statement for a good example.

Is this guy a good QB because his record is great in the playoffs and so are his stats? Hardly.

Do you think this year will mark a run of endless playoff-less seasons for Flacco and the Ravens?
