Re: Matt Ryan and RG3 ranked ahead of Joe Flacco on NFL Top 100 list
Matt Ryan is a very good football player. He does what his coaches ask him to and he has won a lot of football games. Matt Leinart had great greceivers and nice weather in Arizona and was playing against some sucky defenses and could not win football games. The NFL is littered with QB's put in QB friendly situations and sucked a lot worse than Matt Ryan. I have no problem where he is ranked, either 2 spots ahead or 2 spots below, its basically saying they are about the same calibre player which is probably about right. Matt's biggest problem right now is his conference is not getting any easier. The NFC West has two teams that have sold out to win this year. The Saints, Packers and Giants always find a way to be dangerous. I am an AFC guy but objectively, the NFC is a lot deeper conference right now.
Joe and Matt play different styles in different divisions against different opponents. They can both be different players and still both be really good.

Re: Matt Ryan and RG3 ranked ahead of Joe Flacco on NFL Top 100 list
It is always surprising to me when a poster flips because some idiot(s) made a list or said something bad about the Ravens while we routinely sad bad things about every oppsing team and player. Not to mention the conspiracies of NFl, and random tv networks against us.
That being said this list is filled out by NFL players, less than half of which probably took it seriously, DURING THE SEASON AT SOME RANDOM TIME. The media darlings taht are frequent story lines always get too much credit, but it usually fades. See : whats his name the panthers QB
98% of this stuff is bullshit. They have to write something and more and more they just make stuff up. Don't take any of it at face value. Lots of guys are writing about the decimated ravens defense and the problem we have with McKiinie going to report out of shape. Its bullshit. Don't dignify it by repeating it

It's fine, dude. Ed Reed was the number one ranked safety on this list -- do you honestly think he deserves that? No. But I don't hear people here bitching about that.

Re: Matt Ryan and RG3 ranked ahead of Joe Flacco on NFL Top 100 list
Flacco works and is part of a team, so to others his personal value is not as high. RGIII ignited an energy in DC not seen in 20 years. Ryan is deemed the reason the Falcons could be successful demeaning the value of his teammates. I look at this the Ravens are viewed as a team thus many players listed throughout; the Falcons and Redskins not so much.

Re: Matt Ryan and RG3 ranked ahead of Joe Flacco on NFL Top 100 list
No problem, Joe Flacco is the Ravens QB and that is what really matters. He will quietly do what he has been doing these last 5 years, be the QB with most wins, which gets the team to postseason. I don't waste my time trying to understand why these rankings are how they are. Ravens are being built to compete again for years to come and Flacco has the chance to b e the leader of a already dynasty that continues to win. It's the only stat that is important in football.

Re: Matt Ryan and RG3 ranked ahead of Joe Flacco on NFL Top 100 list
That list is one half serious attempt to objectively rank players and one half popularity contest.
Kinda like the Pro Bowl, in fact.
It's ridiculous that Ryan & RGIII are ranked ahead of Joe, but that's the popularity contest side of it, so what are you gonna do?

Apparently Joe is overrated. As are the rest of the Ravens. At least according to Gregg Rosenthal.
