I agree with kiddo. Flacco is rightfully underrated, he is VERY INCONSISTENT, that is why he never makes it to the top ten quarterback list. Ravens win with their defense and Ray Rice. So I just ranked these quarterbacks based on performances over few years to see where Flacco was:
1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Drew Brees
3. Tom Brady
4. Ben Rothelisberger
5. Eli Manning
6. Cam Newton
7. Matthew Stafford
8. Peyton Manning (He didn't play, but was still considered one of the top ten QBs based on what his loss did to Indy)
9. Philip Rivers
10. Michael Vick
11. Joe Flacco
Therefore, if a QB isn't ranked in top 10 position it will be hard to win a superbowl. You could argue that Eli Manning wasn't a top 10 quarterback a year before, but the difference between Flacco and Manning is, Manning makes a 100 times better clutch quarterback than Flacco, also, New York has a pair of celebrity recievers while Ravens' receiver fail to get any sort of recognition.
On a different note, I am now listing all the players I have drafted on three fantasy football league I am playing this season:
The ones that are highlighted in yellow are bench players.
Based on the above list, I need some input
- In the first league, should I play Antonnio Brown instead of Andre Johnson? Andre Johnson hasn't fully recovered from the injury while Brown has not only been in excellent shape, but has signed a multi million dollar contract and has already displayed a stellar performance in preseason.
- In the second league, should I play Rashad Jennings instead of Ahmad Bradshaw? With the absence of MJD, Jennings has already been regarded as a starter for Jacksonville, and he has shined very well.
- In the third league, I am debating between Manning and Rivers, I am not comfortable with Manning, but River's performances over last two years have been less than ordinary as well. So who should I play as a starting QB? In the same league, should I play Cedric Benson instead of AP? Green Bay is pass happy, but AP has history of injuries and his ACL still isn't 100%.
What do you guys recommend?
