He's elite when it matters 
So can we all agree that Joe Flacco is an elite QB?

R.I.P. Kobe and Nip, that’s off the rip
Since we fired out garbage ass OC, he's thrown for 15 TD's and 1 INT in 6 games (one of those games was a week 17 game where he only played one quarter, so you can really say 5 games).
We'll have to see how he can perform in a full season, but if thats not elite then I don't know what is.

now that he's playing well, its our receivers who are making him look good. That's funny because before this postseason run, Anquan Boldin was washed up and old and slow, Torrey Smith was a one trick pony, Jacoby Jones had no hands, etc.
Crazy how once you have a good QB all your receivers start looking better, isnt it? Ask any of the bum receivers Manning has ever had.

Yes he is. Football is the ultimate team sport but people want to act like the kid won the SB on his own, Flacco had a great playoff run this year and is definitely a good franchise QB but I'd still take Matt Ryan over him
i agree with u on football being an ultimate team sport and flacco winning a superbowl isn't the reason y hes better than matt ryan, he's better because he has a stronger arm is more clutch he doesn't have a recieving core like ryan, and most of his career he was playing n a system that dosn't play to his strengths

It's not the fact that he won the Superbowl that made him elite. It's how, especially in the Bronco and 49ers Superbowl games. Dude had to be damn near perfect twice or else the Ravens go home. Honestly the Raven's defense has been pretty ho-hum this season, so you can't use that as a crutch. Put it like this Jim Caldwell is basically drawing up plays and telling him to find the open man and it's working in spades. I think dude has crossed the threshold. IMO an elite or near elite QB elevates his team, Torre Smith is underrated but dudes had written off Anquan Boldin, now dude got a ring while his partner Fitz is pissing away his prime in the desert.

He under threw a prayer that Jacoby Jones came back for and styled on the secondary for 1 TD and the other two were from inside the red zone.
Flacco is still an above average qb but I'm calling him Elite. Son doesn't take over games and I haven't seen a signature drive from him yet where he's just in the zone picking the defense apart.
Nobody would even entertain this thought if Denver's safety didn't smoke crack before that play in the divisional round.

Breaking records with Brady? Sure, I agree with that.
But they're far from the best. FAR from the best.

Joe Flacco is elite, by the way. He may be at the bottom of the elite crew, but he's elite.
And he's the last QB we will see become elite outside of Kaep, Luck, Wilson, and MAYBE RG3 (due to injury) for a long time...

it happened tho, therefore the thought will be entertained
lol @ taking away credit for red zone passing TD's, those are the toughest ones to make. its pretty obvious you dont want to give dude any credit when he played almost flawless the whole postseason
