Unfortunately for Flacco, accepting a large sum of money like that will be putting him under a microscope (more so than an NFL quarterback already is subject to).  The Super Bowl XLVII MVP has spent a good part of his NFL career being scrutinized about his “elite” status as a quarterback. But while that debate is still going on, there are a few things to look for from Flacco this upcoming season that could help the discussion. Joe Flacco (Photo credit: Joe Sargent/Getty Images) 1. Consistency In the 2012 postseason, Flacco played four of the best games of his career, one after another.  It started with his performance in the Ravens 24-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card round of the 2012-2013 season playoffs.

Previewing the Baltimore Ravens: Wide Receivers – Who Will Step Up?

Via Football and Futbol  |  June 30, 2013
CHECK OUT FOOTBALL AND FUTBOL’S BOOKSTORE   The Baltimore Ravens currently have 13 receivers on their roster, however only six receivers caught at least one pass in 2012.  If I were a betting man (which I’m not) I would bet that six receivers won’t even make the team this year.  Normally having a young core of players is a good thing because normally those “players”...
