I Believe In Joe Flacco

Found January 22, 2012 on Ebony Bird:
PLAYERS: Joe Flacco,  Tom Brady,  Aaron Rodgers
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  New England Patriots,  Green Bay Packers

Joe Flacco is without a doubt the most scrutinized player in the NFL today. While his large list of accomplishments during his first four seasons should more than suffice, Flacco still cannot get rid of the title of “game manager.” With a win tomorrow, Joe Flacco will become the first quarterback in NFL history to win 50 games in his first four seasons. That’s an average of over 12 wins per season. For those that insist that the defense has carried him through those wins, take a look at his stats. While they aren’t mind blowing numbers like Tom Brady’s or Aaron Rodgers, he’s played at a level far above the rest of the league. His career passer rating is solid 86.0 and he’s completed 61% of his passes. He’s shown us that he can conduct 4th quarter comebacks against the best and has stepped up when he’s needed to. Simply put, Joe Flacco has done what many young quarterbacks have been unable to, win games.  … [visit site to re...

Flacco deserves contract extension

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  January 23, 2012
Let me start by saying I really do like Joe Flacco. Flacco will be entering the final year of his rookie contract if the Ravens don’t sign him to an extension this offseason. Baltimore’s quarterback is the best quarterback the Ravens have ever had since their inception in 1996. There have been a ton of quarterbacks coming through here, starting with Vinny Testaverde...

Flacco earns respect in playoff loss he didn’t deserve in previous wins

Via Shutdown Corner  |  January 23, 2012
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has faced the New England Patriots twice in the postseason. His team has won one of those games, and lost the other. If you subscribe to the idea of "quarterback wins" — that most nebulous of statistics, that makes Flacco 1-1 against Foxboro's favorite team. Here are his stat lines in each of those two games: 4 of 10 for 34...

Steven Tyler Botched National Anthem At AFC Championship Game

Via Busted Coverage  |  January 22, 2012
Do you know who you shouldn’t pick to sing the National Anthem? Steven Tyler in a terrible Patriots sequin shirt. I’m surprised the Foxboro crowd didn’t boo him out of the stadium. Joe Flacco had the worst facial hair possible in the AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens. Flacco also looked like he was going to pass out in the...

Patriots Edge Ravens In AFC Championship Thriller

Via Bloguin Best  |  January 22, 2012
All I can say is, "wow." Joe Flacco did his part. He deserves a lot of credit, despite the Ravens loss to the New England Patriots. Flacco threw the game winning touchdown to Lee Evans who had the ball promptly ripped out of his grasp on a play he'll likely have nightmares about for weeks or months to come. The game looked as if it was set up for an overtime finish...

Joe Flacco Outshines Tom Brady, but Still Comes Up Short

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  January 22, 2012
In this afternoon’s first conference championship game, the top two seeds in the AFC face off as Baltimore travels to Gillette Stadium to face the Patriots. For Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (the subject of a recent MSF photo story) this is a big opportunity to show that he belongs in the discussion of the upper tier quarterbacks in the NFL. For Patriots superstar Tom Brady...

Heartbreak Time: Ravens Come Up Short

Via Football Nation  |  January 23, 2012
Since hiring John Harbaugh as their head coach in 2008, Baltimore has been on quite a run. Quarterback Joe Flacco also came to Baltimore the same year and together, Harbaugh and Flacco have record of 49-24 and have won a playoff game every season. But they’re still missing one thing, a Super Bowl ring. Twice now, the Ravens have fallen in the AFC Championship game, once to...

Flacco's play warrants long-term investment by Ravens

Via CBSSports.com  |  January 23, 2012
John Harbaugh pulls no punches following the AFC title game: Joe Flacco is the Ravens' quarterback for the future. Clark Judge notes Flacco, 49-24 as a starter, should help them keep winning for years to come.

It's the Pats' turn to hold

Via Projo Pats Blog  |  January 22, 2012
By Jim Donaldson Helped by a 42-yard bomb on the first play of the possession from Joe Flacco to Torrey Smith -- and it could have been more, if Flacco didn't underthrow the ball -- the Ravens moved to a first down at the N.E. 12. This time, it was the New England defense that stepped up and held Baltimore to a field goal. Some will say the Ravens should...

Halftime at Gillette Stadium: Patriots 13, Ravens 10

Via The Rap Sheet  |  January 22, 2012
No one thought it would be easy. And considering this Ravens defense, it hasn’t been. In this AFC Championship game, nothing will be easy. After 30 minutes of play at Gillette Stadium, it’s Patriots 13, Ravens 10. It was a struggle for the Patriots, who have managed two field goals and a TD with three shots inside the red zone. QB Tom Brady even ended the half kneeling...
