In my opinion, the modern iteration of the Ravens have their Pitta (Andrews) and Smith/Jones (Brown). What are we missing? Their Boldin.

And a flacco to throw it to them..... ducks

Whats missing from that montage is the 3rd down play in PT against denver from the EZ where he hits pitta. Think that was the best throw of the lot.

It was also a disgrace we asked boldin to take a pay cut after that

And he was only making 8 million! EIGHT MILLION FOR THAT POST CAM CAMERON PRODUCTION.

Boldin alone would have got us back into the playoffs in 13.

Blah-blah-blah. Regular season is just plain ... "regular". Joe deserves HOF considered for his (yet) unmatched post-season performances.


Yeah Joe should get a lot of credit for that NE win where he didn't even complete 10 passes, and our running backs had 200 yards in the first half. QB's get too much credit/blame for wins/losses, regular season and post season. His stats were rarely even top 1/2 in the league


I guarantee that those whose voices matter most: the NFL players, to a man - would take a Super Bowl MVP award over any other accolade

Yeah Joe

Unflappable

But Joe didn't have 'fire' like Rivers etc. etc. etc. Joe got a ring, Rivers never did.

Did Eli Manning ever make All Pro? He's talked about as a possible HOF candidate.

One thing none of the QBs listed that Joe did not mentioned was get 944 yards out of Kamar Aiken. THAT is HOF worthy!

Aiken did play well that year though in his own right. Got some good YAC.

A number of HOFers never made first team All Pro - Isaac Bruce, Harold Carmichael, Harry Carson, Rickey Jackson, Warren Moon, etc

No HOF players that played after the Bro Bowl started in 1950 have never made the Pro Bowl.

It's worth noting that Joe Flacco was invited to the Pro Bowl in 2014, but declined: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/...120-story.html

Joe would definitely make into a "Bro" Bowl.

It's interesting to see all the hype for a Stafford trade compared to the lack of hype for a Flacco trade.

Stafford will be 33 and played for the Lions for 12 years. Flacco left at 34 and played for the Ravens for 11 years

Stafford has thrown 282 TDs and 144 Ints. Flacco has thrown 224 TDs and the same 144 Ints

Stafford has 38 game winning drives. Flacco has 24 game winning drives

Stafford played with some real greats at WR like Calvin Johnson, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate and Kenny Golladay but never had much of a running game.

Flacco had some very good running backs and tight ends but never had that true great at receiver.

Stafford saw a ton of coaches come in and out while Flacco had consistency at head coach but lots of change at OC and position coaches.

Stafford played in just 3 playoff games and lost them all. Flacco played in 15 playoff games and won 10 of them including a historic Super Bowl run.

They are saying that Stafford will be traded for at least a 1st round pick. Flacco was traded for a 4th round pick. It's interesting how the perception of Stafford is so much greater than it was for Flacco when in reality the numbers are kind of similar and each has some intangibles that have shaped their careers.

Is health the determining factor? Stafford is a guy who plays through injury while Flacco at the time was someone who rarely got hurt. Both seem to have risk as they aged.

Leadership? Neither has ever been considered much of a leader.

What is it that makes Matt Stafford worth so much more than Joe Flacco?

I was going to start a separate thread for this, but this one seems appropriate:

My Bengals fan Brother in law, who's a knowledgeable NFL fan, thinks Joe has a good chance of being inducted into the HOF. My first inclination is no, however he says Joe deserves it due to his stellar post-season performances.

Thoughts?

No chance, I don't think.
