Re: "10 Picks in 10 Games" as an Argument
Oh comon wicked... this thread is clutching at straws. The streak is as relevant as his 4 game streak in the 2013 play stretch where he threw no picks.

I'm just seeing a lot of folks repeating what the announcers said during the game as if that is some finalized proof of something. It's not an accurate assessment of the situation.
Agree with this. You have to look at in context. Hypothetically, a QB can throw a hail mary pass at the end of the half and have it intercepted in 10 straight games. Now, even though that streak looks bad, is it really? Obviously, that's not what's happened here, but is he to blame for all of them?

This Int streak on it's own would not make Flacco a bad QB. Combine it with the lack of TDs, yards, QB rating and everything else that has been mentioned and it's another nail in the coffin.

How many of those 10 interceptions were the cause of a receiver running the wrong route or, worse, the receiver tipping the pass up in the air and having it picked off by the opposition? I can think of at least 2 right off the top of my head from this season (Maclin and West). Those aren't Flacco's fault, yet some are using it as the primary reason for why Flacco sucks.
Believe me, there are SEVERAL reasons why he's not worth the contract he's being paid and he certainly has made his fair share (more, actually) of "WTF?!" throws. However, the "10 Picks in 10 Games" meme is based on false premise.
context is everything.
remember when there used to be good football discussions on this board, not just seeing who can have the most posts without saying anything at all? I miss those days, which is why im less frequent around here. the good posters have been muffled out by the noise. Want traffic to increase, keep a wrap on it like this. Your knowledge and direction will go a long way.

And I don’t think that using his streak of no interceptions as definitive proof of him being a good QB is a sound argument either.

I don't know how many were his fault and how many weren't, but I just continue to be baffled at how we seem to be constantly dealing with these issues all the time.

If he throws 12 in 10 games, does it really matter how they came? If its 2 a game for 6 games and 0 for another 6 games, why is that really any different?
And again, if you do the math taking into account what he has been his entire career, the expectation, based on recent passing volume, is that he's going to throw 16 INTs per full season. So that's 1 per game.
To me... that's the expectation. This idea that he's going to throw it 550-600 times and only throw like 10 INTs isn't realistic.
This. There are many passing stats which yield little insight to evaluating performance. A swing pass behind the line of scrimmage that goes for a 90 yard TD and a 40 yard pass downfield while being blitzed, that hits a receiver in the hands and is intercepted both significantly (and inaccurately) affect the metrics of QB performance.

Well it’s not the offensive lines fault as many have stated.
