Quote:Rivers is having a great year on a bad team. Flacco had a horrible season on a bad team. I think he's a good QB overall, but this season he deserves to be in that bottom tier.

 

I can't argue against it.  When you consider what a player is doing AT the moment of the discussion, it's fair to say Flacco has not had a good year.  But his body of work gives him the benefit of the doubt.  I think it also proves that no matter what we say, most QB's need at least some semblance of a good team around them to be successful...

 

Flacco is above average, but he needs players to be a SB champ.  But it's obvious, that even during this tough year for him, he's still better than EJ or Hasselbeck...

 

On a side note, I think based on what BB5 is doing RIGHT NOW, it's not off base to call him a top 10 QB.  What he may do next year, or what he did last year is not that important.  Right now, BB5 is looking legit.  That's really all you can ask for.  Let's say he lays an egg and we get smoked today.  I may update my opinion.

 

But as of now, how the season is going, he's doing great.
