But it doesn't desensitize anything. I saw that Flacco was still great all season long while lots of you guys for whatever reason thought he sucked because he couldn't put up big stats with a depleted offense and dysfunctional offensive system.

While lots of you guys were seeing Flacco put up bad stats I was seeing how amazing he has gotten at pocket presence and evading the rush. While you guys were seeing picks thrown into tight coverage, I was seeing a quarterback forced to force passes into tight coverage for the offense to ever pick up any yards at all. How else do the Ravens get yards? With a historically bad running game, receivers that rarely get seperation, and nobody getting hardly any YAC at all.
I think the OP is spot on for the most part, and I can't but think those who label him "inconsistent" after watching him this year only know football through fantasy.
