Re: Joe Flacco "Almost There" (not quite top 10)
Joe's next step to be an "elite game manager" like Manning, Brady and to a lesser extent Brees will be to use speed to work the game to his advantage. If Manning or Brady were at QB, Torry Smith's catch that was overturned against Houston would never have been reviewed. They would have run the next play if there were any question. Manning did it to the Ravens in the first game this year on the obvious bounced ball catch which started them on their run. Manning got them to the line and ran the next play before Harbaugh could challenge. Joe does not do that...yet.
He could also hurry to the line on 2nd or 3rd and short and run a quick play before the defense sets. Brady will even sneak on many of these.
When Joe learns how to get that urgency to steal a play or a first down a game, he will truly be an "elite game manager".

Re: Joe Flacco "Almost There" (not quite top 10)
This reality is that this is a football game - a game in which there is a winner and a loser! The ONLY important thing is who WINS. WINNING is the only statistic that matters. Ask Eli Manning and RG III if they would give up all their 2013 statistics (completions, yards, etc) for three wins. What do you think the answer would be. Ask Matt Ryan if he would give up his 50%of his career statistics for a Superbowl win. What do you think the answer would be.
I don't care if the sports talking heads think Joe's the worst quarterback in the league. He's a winner in my book and the Ravens will be in the hunt as long as he's there. And I am happy with that thought and its the only thing thats important.

The only similarities between Joe & Romo are spelling: the o at the end of their last names & the closeness of game manager (JF) to game mangler (TR).

Eh, don't really care about what a talking head has to say about it. If you want telling stats (besides the obvious w/l record), then that one in another thread about 3rd down conversions is one for me. Third and long, everyone knows you're going to throw, and convert anyway? Damn.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable…
There is another theory which states that this - has - already - happened…

He's much more arrogant that that. This is yet another index created from of course his big brain.
Notes: These rankings are based off watching Game Rewind, but I like to cross-check them after I'm finished with some advanced metrics. My take on Rivers felt far less crazy when Football Outsiders,Pro Football Focus and ESPN's Total QBR each had Rivers No. 2 overall in the young season. (And those three sources rarely agree on the numbers.)

Re: Joe Flacco "Almost There" (not quite top 10)
My sig line says how I feel about J5. 11 TD's vs. 0 INT in the Playoffs tells me all I need to know about the guy. He's a gutsy guy you want when the shit's on the line.
Let Joe Cool lead the way 😎
