From No Guts, No Glory:
Joe Flacco is deep in contract negations with the Baltimore Ravens, so he and his agent are busy trying to convince you and the team that Flacco is deserving of a substantial contract.
The madness began when Flacco’s agent, Joe Linta, decided to fix his mouth and utter “Joe Flacco” and “top five quarterback” in the same sentence.
We all laughed and disregarded the comment as just an agent trying to get the most money for his quarterback, because there was just no way that Linta or even Flacco believed that Flacco was really a top five quarterback.
But alas, we were wrong.
So wrong that not only does Joe Flacco believe he’s a top-five quarterback, he believes that he’s the best quarterback in the league. He said as much in an interview with WNST in Baltimore.
On if he believes he’s a top-five quarterback, as his agent stated he was earlier this offseason:
“Without a doubt. What do you expect me to say? … I assume everybody thinks they’re a top-five quarterback. I mean, I think I’m the best. I don’t think I’m top five, I think I’m the best. I don’t think I’d be very successful at my job if I didn’t feel that way. I mean, c’mon? That’s not really too tough of a question. But that doesn’t mean that things are gonna work out that way. It just means that that’s the way it is, that’s the way I feel it is, and that’s the way I feel it should be.”
We know what you’re trying to say, Joe. We also know that you shouldn’t being saying it, Joe.
So please, Joe. We beg you. Stop this madness.
You’re not a top five quarterback. It’s okay.
You’re still pretty good.

I don't even like the guy that much, but I know when something has been taken out of text. WE WERE THERE! He simply said you have to believe you are the best QB, every QB has to feel this way or you can't go out there and perform against class defenses. This was not mentioned in this article. He said he couldn't just consider himself a top 5 QB, but has to see himself as the best, thereofre I am the best.
These "Super Duper" SPORTS WRITERS seem to be copying their styles from the sensational rags you see at supermarket check out lines. They just want to make everything they write sound like they hit exclusive jornlaism gold because of their wit and determination. GET OFF IT, and stop trying to make this guy and other players around the league, fit your ambitions.
who uses his braun over his brain and the has been offensive cordinator and Ravens fans let's be honest there's some b.s. going on when your rookie is a standout and the screw up vet stays in a game against the Chargers. I just wish mangement listened to fans.How many years do we have to accept almost superbowl contenders. I know the superbowl would have been better with the ravens than the pats. I'm a good fan like the rest but tred of being ignored.

I think the authors of this article should delete it and apologize to the readers, since this is total bull. Do they really not understand what he was saying?
This is exactly the same as last year in the Super Bowl when Tom Brady was asked if they were going to win, and he said yes. The headlines then screamed how Brady said the Patriots were better than the Giants.
What were they supposed to say morons? Brady should have said, no, I think the Giants are better and we're going to lose. He would have then been crucified in the media.
Same thing here. Of course you have to think you're the best to compete at this level. I guess Joe was supposed to say "No, I'm a meidocre bum."
Personally as far as it goes I think Flacco's one of the most underrated QBs in the league and definitely top ten if not top five. If he comes to the Redskins, I won't be complaining.
The writers of this article are either morons who cannot understand nuance and subtlety or comprehend what they're hearing, or they're creating news, which is what most people who are supposedly "reporting" these days.
The guy never meant it they way these fools are portraying this. Idiots.
