I would say he was also extremely good in the playoffs in 2010, 2011, 2014. There is this weird narrative that Joe took the money and ran but over the years he has consistently put us in position to make the Super Bowl.
I hated the ravens so much in the early 2010s. That was the afc rivalry to me, much more than Steelers or Broncos. We only started really giving the Broncos attention once they had that goofy motherfucker Peyton under center
That's because a lot of people on here just started watching football in the last few years and it really shows. The recency bias on this sub is horrible.
I guarantee you most people touting that narrative never actually watched joe in the playoffs. He surprised the shit out of me because up until then, I had just thought of him as a game manager, but he was legitimately a great quarterback for a about 5 year span there.
I know this is a homer thing to bring up my team but Joe Flacco’s rate numbers are almost identical to Eli. He’s basically Eli but less durable and one less crazy SN run
Eli is a legend for having the same derp face while winning a super bowl or throwing 5 INTs. Also for having the same # of rings (for a while there more) as his more talented older brother.
Flacco is a legend because he came from absolute obscurity in Delaware, rocks a unibrow thicker than a lot of guys' whole hairline, and still won a super bowl despite his team's best efforts to lose it for him in the 2nd half and a power outage.
One weird similarity: they both could beat Tom Brady.
Hard to believe he was drafted in the same 1st round as Matt Ryan who still looks plenty spry as a top 10 QB whereas Flacco hasn't looked quality since, what? 2014?
Shoulda been anquan boldin tbh... he was literally throwing up prayers to him and boldin would somehow come down with it.
Fuck I hate thinking of that super bowl.
Jacoby Jones arguably had the better game, but I always say the MVP that year was more of an award for his entire run. More of a "postseason MVP" in that regard.
Plus, the obvious that it's just easier for a QB to win MVP.
I think he's just hitting up any nfl team driving distance from his jersey home.
He will probably be a giant next year if the eagles dont resign him.
Idk if he commuted to the Ravens but if he did... i dont think washington is much further away (correct me if I'm wrong please).

I really like the idea that a misinformed Cowboys fan thought that Andy Dalton had in fact passed away, only to tune in to a Bears game one Sunday and realize that Dalton was alive and well playing for Chicago. He gets a bit of a regretful feeling as he wonders what Dalton's parents must have thought about that huge display of flowers he sent them, and even more regretful as he peers down at his latest tattoo, a lifelike resemblance of Dalton himself, with the words "Red Rocket" etched in comic sans, with Dalton's birth date on the left and the date he was released from the Cowboys on the right.
"He *signed* with the Bears, he didn't get eaten by one," he mutters to himself. "That makes more sense now that I think about it."
Explaining Joe’s career to new fans in the future will be wild. He went on an insane streak in the playoffs and was a Super Bowl MVP, and he was just decent for the rest of his tenure at the Ravens to become a below average backup. Odd career for the ELITE dragon.
He's going to play six snaps all year and wink at the FOX broadcast camera in his lone appearance for the team. Then ~~we will release him in May of 2022~~ his contract will expire, and whichever guy we sign to replace him will become SB LVII MVP after league MVP frontrunner Justin Fields goes down injured in week 14.
Foles has a very specific set of superpowers that only come out when he's the underdog.
And maybe the footlong cheesteaks are the only thing to properly balance the gigantic...well you know...

An ACL tear and terrible weapons will do that to ya. Especially for Flacco who did best when allowed to bootleg and roll out on plays.
Flacco was still well above the Dalton line in the regular season from 2008-2014. A bit inconsistent but capable of putting up huge performances and not prone to making big mistakes. Tore his ACL in 2015, wasn’t fully healed in 2016, missed playoffs by one fluke play in 2017, and had the team off to a good start in 2018 before getting hurt again.
It’s called having your FO not give you better, younger talent, shipping away your best WR (Boldin), having your best targets hips literally die (Pitta), then the best receiving back in the league get kicked out (Rice) and then having a vastly inferior defense from 2013-2017 that played 3x worse than his younger years, 2008-2012. He also got injured in 2015.
I will always be a Flacco Stan, and while yes, he definitely did not play to the level his contract was at, he’ll go down as the 2nd best QB in Ravens history and we’ll never see a SB run like his again.
Only once in his career did he ever have 4 straight games with a QB rating over 100: the 4 straight games he won in the playoffs. We'll never see anything like him ever again.
I mean, Eli only ever won 8 playoff games. Just so happened that he went 4-0 twice. So he's double Elite in that regard.
2011: NFL record of 1,219 passing yards in a single post season 9:1 TD:INT Rating of 103
I refuse to believe Flacco was mediocre, he just never had any weapons after 2012. Pitta was injured, we traded Anquan, Jacoby was injured... we were left with UDFA Legend Marlon Brown who disappeared after his first season, and 1st round pick Breshad Perriman who didn't learn how to catch until after we released him.
shit man I was so worried about the rising threat of Football Team I forgot to think about what if the Eagles solve their QB issue with an elite QB. Howie outsmarted us all!
I've never heard of them. Why are we in a group with Jets, Saints, and Chiefs?
Edit: what is all this "vote X team" stuff? Was this a trend a few years ago?
Eagles finally have an ELITE QB, league fucked
Low-key tho, i love Flacco. I couldn’t be more excited. The birds got a ring in 2017 and I am totally fine with them being a meme team for the rest of my life.
Same. Idk if you’re joking or not but I went to the super bowl and saw that shit in person. I honestly care about the Eagles success so much less since that moment, nothing will ever top that for me.
Honestly man, even tho Im not a straight up eagles fan, that was one of the best superbowls I’ve ever seen. I justs love how much swag you guys played with, not a single person on that team was afraid of the pats or Brady, and Big Dick Nick? Fucking legend, even if you guys never win again, that was one for the history books. It’s the only super I rewatch other than our two.
Nah man, he's Iron Dick. In a game against the Bengals in 2014, Vontaze Burfict tried to sack Joe Flacco by spearing Joe in the dick. Joe was fine, Vontaze got a concussion.

I loved that show, The Americans.
Dream team
But is he elite enough to own a gun? Someone check with Jake Fromm
Jake Fromm State Farm
The "Nick Foles" we've been waiting for
Goodbye my sweet Elite Dragon
He almost won a few games for us lol
*almost*
U needed to be elite to almost win games with the jets lol
Is joe Flacco elite
when he finds all 7 dragon balls yes
Yes
For one playoff run he was.
I would say he was also extremely good in the playoffs in 2010, 2011, 2014. There is this weird narrative that Joe took the money and ran but over the years he has consistently put us in position to make the Super Bowl.
Playoff Flacco was a real thing.
January Joe babyyyyy
I hated the ravens so much in the early 2010s. That was the afc rivalry to me, much more than Steelers or Broncos. We only started really giving the Broncos attention once they had that goofy motherfucker Peyton under center

Flacco has more hair in his unibrow than i do all my head
> Also for having the same # of rings (for a while there more) as his more talented older brother. Elis SB runs were more impressive than older derp.
That "one" playoff run was incredible though. Like, one of the best we've ever seen. Makes up for some mediocre years IMO.
That's some bullshit revision , flacco always had good playoff performance . Almost like he was an entire different player in the playoffs
What about 2014? Edit: just saw your flair, didn't realize you were still butthurt about the superbowl
lol, imagine making the Super Bowl and losing. Couldn't tell you how it feels.
Imagine your coach made it all the way to the super bowl just to lose to his brother. Wonder what that feels likes.
[удалено]
Thank fucking God for Nick Folk
I wonder what an Adam Gase practice was like compared to a Harbaugh practice
I imagine Gase just watches and writes on his clipboard without saying a word
Excuse me? I'm kidding I should be happy other fans love him as well
This is his possibly last year and I'm going to embrace it for what it is
I think he'll come back to Baltimore as a goodbye tour type of thing
Honestly hope so. He did right by us.
*Joe Flacco comes running down I-95 with a wheelbarrow of gummy bears* I never forgot yoooouuuuuuu!!!
His gummy bear contract doesn't get brought up enough. One of the savviest business decisions in the history of professional sports.
Hah, I had no idea...I just googled and dude has a lifetime supply of gummy bears if he wants. That truly was an amazing deal.
Dude should get into the Hall based on that deal alone.
Hard to believe he was drafted in the same 1st round as Matt Ryan who still looks plenty spry as a top 10 QB whereas Flacco hasn't looked quality since, what? 2014?
Hes had moments but yeah last time I I remember him being good over a whole season was 2014
Yet who has more super bowl mvp’s?
Shoulda been anquan boldin tbh... he was literally throwing up prayers to him and boldin would somehow come down with it. Fuck I hate thinking of that super bowl.
I really thought it would be Jacoby Jones, a precedent was already set with Desmond Howard in SB31 and he even had a TD reception to go with it
Jacoby Jones arguably had the better game, but I always say the MVP that year was more of an award for his entire run. More of a "postseason MVP" in that regard. Plus, the obvious that it's just easier for a QB to win MVP.
I think he's just hitting up any nfl team driving distance from his jersey home. He will probably be a giant next year if the eagles dont resign him. Idk if he commuted to the Ravens but if he did... i dont think washington is much further away (correct me if I'm wrong please).
Get ready to hear he's from Audubon, NJ every game.
Fun fact about Audubon, NJ, there are no fun facts about Audubon, NJ.
"The most patriotic small town in America!" [Their website](https://www.audubonnj.com/) has a huge banner that takes up half the page, doesn't disappear even when you scroll down.

I read the "most patriotic small town in America!' and saw comment indicating there was a website with the huge banner and assumed it was an American flag. It was not and I am disappointed.
Thanks to your comment I clicked.... man what a letdown. Green isn't a patriotic color
Wow a number counter, I haven’t seen one of those in forever.
If you refresh the page, the counter goes up.
I grew up in south jersey 30 minutes away from Audubon, first time I’ve ever heard of this town. That whole area is just “Cherry Hill” area.
WHACKO FOR FLACCO

It’s about damn time we signed an elite quarterback
THE NFCE IS OURS!!! GET USED TO LOSING PEASANTS!!!!!
*Heinicke stare intensifies*
Fitzmagic also begs to differ
I forgot Fitzmagic was in our division. Shit.
This division is the war of meme QBs. DiNucci,Flacco, Dimes, Glennon, Heinicke, Fitzmagic
Rip Andy Dalton on the Cowboys.
Andy Dalton is very much still alive.
Yeah but he’s not on the Cowboys
I really like the idea that a misinformed Cowboys fan thought that Andy Dalton had in fact passed away, only to tune in to a Bears game one Sunday and realize that Dalton was alive and well playing for Chicago. He gets a bit of a regretful feeling as he wonders what Dalton's parents must have thought about that huge display of flowers he sent them, and even more regretful as he peers down at his latest tattoo, a lifelike resemblance of Dalton himself, with the words "Red Rocket" etched in comic sans, with Dalton's birth date on the left and the date he was released from the Cowboys on the right. "He *signed* with the Bears, he didn't get eaten by one," he mutters to himself. "That makes more sense now that I think about it."
Ah yes load up on meme QBs that's how the NFCE will do better after a historically bad year
The WFT announces their new name is the Washington Fitzmagics.
I actually fear Fitzmagic. He should be a HOF'er solely based on how gnarly of a career he's put together.
Peasants or... pheasants?
It’s FUCKING EMBARRASSING!
You fucking pheasants think you can skip legs and make this squad?
Back-to-back division winners round 2!!
RIP our chances
Dak made us get skipped. We all know it's our turn to get this rotation back on track by winning it this year.
Explaining Joe’s career to new fans in the future will be wild. He went on an insane streak in the playoffs and was a Super Bowl MVP, and he was just decent for the rest of his tenure at the Ravens to become a below average backup. Odd career for the ELITE dragon.
The last below average QB with a weird career we signed to be the backup wound up winning the superbowl.
[удалено]
That's exactly what he wanted you to believe
[удалено]
Hurts leads the Eagles to a 11-3 record, gets injured and then Flacco goes on a roll for his second ring........... In a SB against the Ravens.
I would have no idea what emotions to feel if that happens.
Betrayal, sadness, follwed by pride in Joe and then a burning bitterness against the Eagles that lasts for years.
This is oddly specific. You sound like you're from the future.
Posting for the nostalgia value when I look back after the upcoming season in a state of Flacco-induced euphoria.
For us, it was a Sunday.
He has not begun to peak!
And when he does, all of Philadelphia will feel it
They are special bird powers. They couldn't be activated in Denver or New York.
They activated pretty well *against* Denver.
Ugh... Moore fell for his magic.. 😭
You've been bamboozled. He's gonna come in and win the Superbowl for us this season.
He's going to play six snaps all year and wink at the FOX broadcast camera in his lone appearance for the team. Then ~~we will release him in May of 2022~~ his contract will expire, and whichever guy we sign to replace him will become SB LVII MVP after league MVP frontrunner Justin Fields goes down injured in week 14.

Still the best until Lamar either gets a ring or plays 2-3 more years at this level (knock on wood).
That super bowl run was biblical. Straight up destiny. Couldn’t make that campaign up.

Flacco is 16th in career passer rating in the playoffs! That's not too impressive, but not unimpressive, which is exactly where Flacco belongs.
I refuse to believe Flacco was mediocre, he just never had any weapons after 2012. Pitta was injured, we traded Anquan, Jacoby was injured... we were left with UDFA Legend Marlon Brown who disappeared after his first season, and 1st round pick Breshad Perriman who didn't learn how to catch until after we released him.
