So all this talk about Flacco bringing the Ravens back to the Har-Bowl. Is he finally and ELITE quarterback or what?
What is the measure of 'elite'? Marino was as elite as it gets and never won a Superbowl, starting in the same number as Grossman, one.
Flacco had the Pat's beat last year and his guy dropped it so, he's no flash in the pan. He puts up big numbers, is very accurate, good leadership, seems respected by his teammates.
To me, in the second half, Caldwell and Harbaugh turned him loose and he ripped the Pat apart after starting tentative. The throws he made were 100% commited and not easy and were game winners.
I think he has been a guy anyone would be happy to build a team around. I think the second half against the Pats, if he wasn't already, made him 'elite' and, clearly, he beats the 9'ers and a VERY good D, he's a top dog. Maybe THE top dog in the AFC.
