Flacco is consistently the most unwatchable QB in the league every single year.
I agree... he hit his perfect year right before contract. God love that luck....
But he was awesome when it mattered and has a ring.

Sorry, it must be the lack of warrior spirit.
Because that wasn't the thought of someone who watches too much anime.

Joe Flacco is better than Eli Manning.

Think I agree with you. You're smarter than Myk and eyedoc. Neither is close to elite and their numbers through the years are very similar but that SB run by Flacco was epic. For that SB run it was Flacco who lifted his team. For the Giants SBs, it was the team that lifted Manning. If not for Eli's last name, he would not be starting at this point. It's also as if the Giants feel like they owe him still for the SB wins. They want to move on from him, they just don't know how to do it in a PC enough way.

Eli Manning has like six 4,000-yard seasons. He’s sixth all time in passing yards. And that’s not even counting 2 Super Bowl MVPs and 2 Lombardi Trophies.

Throw a lot of passes over 15 years and the yards add up. Forever in his brother's shadow though.

He says this like it's supposed to be a knock on a QB.

His team forgot QBs have hot streaks that are more luck than skill. Guy deserved a deal but not that deal.

Doesn’t matter. Being one of the all-time yards leaders and 2 Super Bowl MVPs over the GOATs = Hall of Fame. I’d be ecstatic if Trubisky becomes Eli Manning, yet people act like that’s the ultimate insult.

It's a low bar if you look at the bulk of his career. Think he's been afforded better weapons than a Flacco and has a high Int % and mediocre win/loss record overall. It is common for people to give the QB most of the credit for SB wins though. He's gotten a lot of mileage off of those.

You'd ideally want him to play like Peyton Manning in the regular season and Eli Manning in the postseason.

They have identical passer ratings in the playoffs with Peyton going to the playoffs far more frequently. Since 2008, Eli has only been to the playoffs twice.
