I really don't think you understand what we are saying, we aren't saying Flacco gets to some ungodly level that has never been seen before in playoffs. We are saying that his game gets to a higher level in the playoffs than in the regular season, like Eli Manning. |
No, I understand. He does it in a few games while not in others. Nothing out of the ordinary for a good QB. You guys make it seem like too big a deal. Today could give Flacco immense confidence and he could be a different player. The reason I brought up Delhomme is because that's what everyone said about him. |
That's just simply not true, there are a lot of good regular season QBs who don't elevate their game in the post season (Matt Ryan being the easiest one to site right now). Its a special quality. |
List those a a lot. Russel Wilson must be the biggest clutch monster of all time in the making.

List the "many". Look how many QBs "elevated" their game. Russel Wilson must be the biggest clutch monster in the making of all time. |
RW played phenomenally, there is no doubt, but that doesn't make it common place. The fact is more QBs struggle in the postseason than succeed. Donovan McNabb, Brett Favre, Tony Romo, Jim Kelly, etc... There are not a whole lot of QBs who simply play BETTER when there is more pressure. Flacco is one of those QBs now. He's earned it. This isn't the first real good game he's had in the postseason. He's been doing it for 3 years. Hell last year if Lee Evans doesn't drop a perfect pass he has the Ravens in the SuperBowl. This year he didn't leave any doubt.
Why is it so hard for some to acknowledge a player they don't like did well? I can't stand Aaron Rodgers b/c he kicks my teams behind, I still have no issues acknowledging him as the best in the biz.

McNabb never really "struggled" in the playoffs. Favre too. Both guys had good games and bad games, just like Joe Flacco. Like I said, today may have been a pivotal point in Joe's career. But I'm not going to say he elevates his game in the playoffs when half of the games he hasn't. He's been fortunate to be playing for a consistently good team so he can rack up tons of playoff experience, which in the end could lead him to being an amazing QB. It happened to Brady too, just he tasted success right away.
Just saying, lets not get carried away. If he sucks 2 weeks from now, he'll be a choker.

Flacco's play should put all these commentators and pundits on notice. We already saw last year that Flacco came through strong when it mattered, but because the game was lost, people found some way to forget that and subsequently shat on him this past regular season.
The people that just started giving him credit this post season...smh. |

^^^ I did find it funny how Boomer Esiason was stroking Brady's wiener so hard before the game as if it was a given that the Pats will be victorious.

Pretty much this. Hard for Ravens not to loosen up the purse strings now.

Enough to make them unable to extend other important players in the future, hopefully.

Yes, like more than just that one play. And more than just that 1 play in 1 game in the last 3 post-seasons. It's clear you have an agenda and would rather cover your eyes/ears and say "lalalala" rather than being objective and actually watching the game(s).

No, elevating his game doesn't mean that in the slightest. It simply means that he plays better and more consistent in the playoffs than he does in the regular season. Stop reading more into it than that.

I would agree about the flavor of the moment thing of the forum, but the sentiment that Flacco raises his play in the playoffs isn't just a "moment" thing. If people were claiming Flacco is all of the sudden a top 5 QB, then I'd agree. But the statement of "Flacco elevates his play in the playoffs" is an undisputed fact backed with 3 years of post season games as evidence.

Roughly the same thing he was worth before these playoffs. He certainly made himself some money, but 3 games isn't going to make Ozzie throw money at him.
Something similar to Eli's deal, maybe slightly more due to timing.
Eli got 7 years, $106M which averages $15.2M a year.
I could see Flacco getting 6 years, $96M ($16M/year) , though I'm sure his agent will push for the contract to say $100M+ so maybe a team option for a 7th year or some unlikely to be earned incentives to push it over the $100M mark.

This is confusing.
First you say he is worth the same as he was before, but then say he is worth Eli money? Before, he wasnt really worth that.
Then you say it wont make Ozzie throw money at him, yet you still have them making Flacco one of the higest paid players in the league?
Not trying to be difficult, but I dont get the logic.
