Which means Ryan is 6 and Flacco is probably 5.
I'm holding out hope that Jaws kicks Peyton and Brady in their respective va-jay-jay's because Peyton is a choke artist and both will be in their late 30's. It would be sweet if he ranks Flacco ahead of them.

People would be so mad if that happened.
Normally they discuss the team after they rank the QB, but if Flacco is that high they will drag Tim Hasselback out to argue against it.

Ok, ok...maybe not choke artist.
You could definitely argue that Peyton is though.

Agreed there.

lol It would no doubt be a topic on First Take.
I'm pretty sure Skip thinks Josh Freeman is better than Flacco.... and Tebow of course.

Yeah, choke artist is kind extreme. How about this anology:
In tennis, many people call Roger Federer the GOAT. But many other people respond: how can he be the GOAT when Nadal has been beating him like a drum fro a good 5 years now? And what does that say about Nadal?
Flacco beating Brady for 2 years running does mean something. But what exactly? Plus Flacco beat Peyton the game before when Peyton threw a game deciding interception. That must mean something too.

Yeah, I don't get that, the guy has been proven clutch many times. Didn't he lose SB XLVI on a dropped pass? Brady had a great post-season record.

Isn't Flacco below .500 against the Pats lifetime? IDK for sure.
I see what your trying to say though. I totally understand the Brady hate and I think he's a d-bag. But he's a talented d-bag and hardly a choke artist.
I cannot think of a time he's choked away a big game. Sure, he's had bad games here and there. Every QB does. But I cannot think of one game, let alone many games, that would pin him as a choker.
In both SB loses, he left the game with the lead only to have his D let him down. Against us, he simply was outplayed.
Re: Jaws' QB Rankings on ESPN
Unless you're talking about long-term outlook (in which case Peyton Manning would've been ranked already), you cannot put Flacco ahead of Brady. One year of victories isn't going to swap them in the rankings. I could see the argument over Manning because of the playoff records, but I wouldn't make such an argument myself. Flacco should be at #5 here.
6. Ryan
5. Flacco
4. Peyton
3. Brees
2. Brady
1. Rodgers

2008 DNP
2009 Lost (reg. season with the Clayton drop), Won (Playoff game)
2010 Lost (17-7 lead and then pissed the bed)
2011 Lost (AFC title game)
2012 Won X2 (Reg. season and AFC title game)
By my count Joe is 3-3 against Brady and should be undefeated.
