This is what I'm saying.

Anyone who thinks Flacco is on par with Sanchez is clueless. I freely admit that. It's ridiculous.

And like you, I've never heard that comparision. I'm sure some yahoo has said it but so what? Like I said, a complete minority.

Anyway, it seems like that this will become (as it always done) a circular argument.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

That went down at one point last year. On this board.

Yup. There's a clear upper and a clear lower class in the NFL but the middle class is pretty much interchangeable. Sanchez is part of that lower class.

I bet right now there are 9 teams easily who would love to have Flacco over their QB without even blinking an eye. The Eagles, Browns, Chiefs, Cardinals, Jaguars, Titans, Bills, 49ers, and Raiders would love to have Joe Flacco right now if he was available.

And if anyone here would rather have Michael Vick, whoever QB's the Browns (over multiple years), Matt Cassel, or Carson Palmer over Joe Flacco right now, than I have nothing for you. Right now the only QB's I would absolutely take over Flacco would be the obvious choices; Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and maybe Drew Brees.

So you're telling me there are only two QBs you'd absolutely take over Flacco and one you "might" in Brees?

If I somehow misinterpreted you, please let me know.

Yep, that's what I'm saying.

Interesting.

So who are the two you'd take over Flacco? I'm assuming Brady and Rodgers?

From a raw talent perspective, I'd take Brees & Ben over Joe.

I mean I don't even disagree with Stinger all that much. There's a very clear upper class. Anyone who wouldn't trade Joe Flacco for Brees, Rodgers, Brady, or P Manning is crazy. Beyond that, shit, take Stafford, Ponder, Cutler, Schaub, Luck, Locker, Palmer, Rivers, Dalton, Flacco, Newton, Vick, Eli Manning, Ryan, Freeman, Wilson, Alex Smith, Bradford, Romo and Fitzpatrick and switch any of them out with each other and you're probably facing a no net gain scenario.

Good, you did not misinterpret me.

A case could be made for Rodgers too. So there, four. Outside of that, this right here.
