Flacco

Pressures, hits, pick your stat. None of them support the narrative that the OL is a bigger issue than Flacco, and certainly doesn’t support the notion that they are to blame for his poor play.

Denver is the 11th worst team in sack rate, and tied for 17th in QB hits, despite having the QB who has the 6th fastest time to throw. The offense which is just very similar to SF, has a eerily similar QB metrics, but our OL is way worse in all the categories. The 49ers are undefeated, and we are 2-4.

Put him on a solid team, and I think he would be better? The Ravens did not want him to get hurt and be on the hook for his contract.
That was one reason they didn't play him again.

They traded back into the 1st round to snag Jackson because they were desperate to move on from Flacco, and, even with Jackson’s struggles as a passer, they dropped him like a hot potato after the season was over. Why? Because he’s bad as a starting QB. That’s why.

Depends on which numbers you choose. Two quarterbacks:

#1 - 10 playoff wins, 5 losses and one Super Bowl Championship

#2 - 10 playoff wins, 7 losses and one Super Bowl Championship

Using outcomes as the ultimate statistic, which one is above, average, or below average?

You're...you're not using QB metrics here and I think you know that. 2015 proved that a lopsided team, if ELITE enough on one side can compensate for the other. We dont have that and that is even harder to do than just having a good QB

What we don’t get is that the numbers just don’t support the notion that he’s average, and yet you guys just keep insisting he is. It’s puzzling to say the least.

Denver's OL isn't helping Flacco much.
(Like QB's before him)

Do you think Flacco would perform better behind Dallas' OL?
If so, maybe that's his current potential.
