Flacco's agent: He's an elite QB

Found January 13, 2013 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Joe Flacco,  Peyton Manning
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens,  Denver Broncos

Via Footbasket:

Joe Flacco is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, and on Saturday he proved to the pundits that he can win big playoff games - at least according to his agent. Flacco showed some guts against the Denver Broncos and made huge throws while outplaying future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning on his home field.

Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens will talk contract after the season, but as Flacco’s agent Joe Linta told Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, he is worth every elite dime he is going to seek.

”He’s a top-five guy, if not better. … If you don’t think that’s an elite guy, then you’re crazy,” he said. “The guy has won 54 (regular-season) games; (the) guy is eventually going to get respect. The great thing about Joe is he doesn’t care.”

Translation: Joe Flacco is about to get paid.

  • Thats Mr. Flacco to you. Ive had to sit here and watch pundit after talking head try to tell me Vick is better or RG3 is better or that he doenst hold a candle to Manning. Hello people, Flacco did it, Manning did not. Nothing against Peyton, he's a hall of famer but in cold weather I dont think he does too well. Joe Flacco just went out and beat the odds, the weather, and a team that was on a roll. And it was an away game. Now maybe these idiots will shut up and let people play.

Ravens win double-overtime thriller in Denver

With Tebow nowhere in sight, it was Ravens defensive captain Ray Lewis this time preaching to viewers that “nothing is impossible with God.” Joe Flacco stripped the annoying monkey off his back (again) and orchestrated his offense (near-flawlessly) versus a defense that ranked 3rd against the pass (199.6 ypg). Without fear, he catapulted touchdowns, to Jacoby Jones (1) and Torrey...
