How much do you think he's worth now that the Ravens have won a SB and he won SB MVP? How much do you think a team would pay for him in free agency?
Matt Ryan and Tony Romo both had much better numbers than Flacco this season but how many teams would take either of those guys over him?
I can't say. I do think you'll have a better picture if Flacco continues making it to the playoffs and you have a larger sample to work with. I think he has improved over the years though although who knows what his true ceiling is. Last night may have been it.

Joe Flacco is a Super Bowl MVP and he deserves it?
What in the world is going on.

Asking for cap hell, what on earth is this.
I have noticed. I'm just messing with you.
Boldin deserved it. It's politics like it was with peyton.
How can you get higher than winning the sb and winning sb mvp? getting bjs right on the field from kate upton? Or are you saying they wont be back to the Super Bowl for a while if ever?

From ESPN:
I say pay the man.

Repeating. What if he never makes the playoffs again? Was his performance just a fluke after all?

Eh, Flacco only threw one bad throw pretty much the whole night. Props to Boldin for making some great catches though.

they'll probably just franchise tag flacco and when he under performs the next year just negotiate something more reasonable or force flacco to win another superbowl mvp.

Anybody getting malware warnings?
Made playoffs 5 straight years, So i think we can rule out that he'll never make the playoffs again. With the defense past old Super Bowl window will probably be closed for at least a couple seasons though.
It's ad related. I sent a PM to an admin about it this morning.
For awhile now, like Narag said it some the ads coming through.

Flacco should have been in the superbowl last year so I don't know how anybody can say he looks like a fluke at this point.
He was an average quarter back 2 seasons ago, but his playoff run last year and this year shows he's grown into a different caliber of player.

Tom Brady on Joe Flacco said:
So classy. Brady is the most classy QB in the league and we are the most classy franchise in the NFL.
You should sign Barwin. Going at the rate former Texans players are performing he would have a 40 sack year for you.
I figure he bet a ton on the Niners.

I just wanted to say, it's been a fun ride this season with you all, NFL-GAF.
As a former Fark NFL thread monster, I was initially wary of how things would pan out, but it's a special kind of batshit insane here, and I'd have it no other way. Time to wash away the salt, let the Ravens have their shine, and prep some draft scenarios.
Despite an inescapable impending drop-off in personnel and talent, I will say:
Go Falcons.
2013-14 is OUR season.

It's all part of the master plan for the Browns to win the division. They pay Flacco £20m. Can't replace retirees. Browns go upwards.
As much as I hate to say it I agree with you.
While I think Flacco is not as good as anyone appears right after they a won a SB, he is clearly good enough to lead a team to the SB and win it. You can't say that about most quarterbacks in this league.
I still expect Flacco and the Ravens to revert big time next season, but that is a very fucking small consolation prize even if we beat them 3 times and win the division, it still won't take away their Superbowl. For Flacco to get to the next level he has to learn how to read defense and throw intermediate passes, I have never seen that ability in him. All he can do at this point is hand off, screen, or fuck it go deep. But fuck it I am going deep is better than dink and dunk. Ravens proved that. So did the Niners to a lesser extent.
With Matt Ryan, I just don't know. Some guys are just confusing. He's not as good as his numbers but I don't know if that makes him just above average? Average?
Romo is good imo. Switch he and Eli and he has 2 SBs
The real Ravens MVP.
Funny. It has came to light that Caldwell wasn't responsible for our over conservative-ness back in the day. He was a puppet coach. We should've unlocked his full potential.
Fucking Irsay and Polian.
Jim was a terrible Coach though lol. He should stay a coordinator.

So classy. Brady is the most classy QB in the league and we are the most classy franchise in the NFL.
Belichick looks so weird in a suit.
I, and my guess is you as well, have no idea what this means.
You can't have a high % when you can't complete intermediate passes or read the entire defense.
That said, he did win with fuck it I am going deep and Brady and Peyton looked like shit in the playoffs playing dink and dunk.
Its a young mans games and you need a cannon and big plays to win it all.

He's pretty good hitting Pitta or Dickson on short to middle passes, but granted tight ends are kind of easy mode for that sort of thing.
just a snarky way of putting that the randomness in sports is offset by the multiple games in baseball, and that his appeals to stats mesh with a stereotypical baseball attitude.
but mostly snark.
Seriously. Like I said in the Super Bowl thread, maybe this is selective memory or whatever, but it really feels like SF's weakness down the stretch this year was our secondary. Brady tore us up in the second half in that game in New England, and then every game after that we were giving up big plays to every QB we played.
Or smiling.

49ers safeties were shit all year, nothing selective about your memory. The difference is down the stretch Aldon Smith houdini'd and was never seen again so teams were able to exploit that.

You know, I'll be kind of sad if the Dolphins never win the AFC East during a year when Brady stays healthy and is playing for the Pats.
It was bad for the stage they were on, but expected cus of his lack of experience. Had he started the entire season, that may have not been an issue for him. I think he's a good player and agree with you. He's a better and most importantly smarter runner than RGIII. But his body size also aids him. When he ran that option up the middle I cringed, lol.

Brady spread them out and made Aldon cover someone.After that game the defense wasnt the same.
I know my Flacco.
The way to stop the Ravens offense is easy. You focus on Ray Rice and take away the deep ball (making sure your corners are schooled in watching out for the underthrown deep ball where the receivers just stops and the corner runs right into them). Let Flacco try to move the ball down the field a little bit at a time. He has never been able to do it consistently.
The Niners were really built perfectly to beat the Ravens with Andy Lee as their punter. Keep giving them the long field, and wear them out with the running game. But they were very undisciplined and unprepared for Flacco's bombs and that is why FMT is crying and BLarry is celebrating.
Yeah, wtf, no sacks for like six games or whatever. I keep hearing Niners fans point to Justin Smith's injury in regards to the lack of sacks, but does Aldon know how old Justin Smith is? Dude needs to figure out something for when Smith retires :lol

Just imagine when Mallett prolongs that streak of you guys not winning the East for another 10 years. Since Brady is just a system QB, Mallett can step in and dominate as well.

Super interesting article to read in retrospect. I don't remember it sneaking it this week between the deer antler nonsense and rampant hatred of gays, but there were a lot of NFL people worried this would be a flag-for-holding fest.
Also interesting that Justin Smith may have been worried about his patented cheating techniques.
I prefer the game the way it was called personally.
All but one of Aldon's sacks came on a stunt in which Justin held the offensive linemen freeing him up. It's a penalty that is never called on Justin Smith for some reason. When he went down and lost strength in his arm, Aldon becomes useless. He was a HUGE liability last night in the running game.
