NEW ORLEANS – Earlier this season Joe Flacco caused a bit of a stir, which is news in itself, when he declared himself an “elite quarterback.”
What was he supposed to say, “I think I’m average”?
The debate continues to rage over whether the Baltimore Ravens’ 28-year-old signal-caller is one or the other, even as he sits only days away from leading the Ravens into Super Bowl XVLII in his fifth season under center in the NFL. Is Flacco elite or just a guy who doesn’t often get beat?
Perhaps the larger question is: Does it matter? Because whatever he is, he’s not the most important thing at the moment. He’s not on vacation.
That’s where the consensus “elite” quarterbacks all are at the moment. Tom Brady? Flacco beat him.![]()
