Flacco just took some heat for going to the playoffs 3 years in a row and winning a game in those three playoffs on the basis that it was the Ravens' defense that carried him. There is a germ of truth in there; the Ravens' defense is REALLY good...
HOW-EVAH, there are more than a few folks here who seem to think the fact that Rex Grossman was the QB for the Bears' Super Bowl team proves that he is a bona fide starting QB of above average capability. The Bears' defense that year was also REALLY good...
I suspect that Flacco would get a lot more respect here if the color of his uniform were different... |
Raven's fans are his biggest critics. I know a ton that beleive they have missed out on SB glory becasue of him. I am not agreeing with them just pointing them out.
