Except Flacco didnt assist his team in winning most of those games. His numbers fucking sucked, against the Pats he had like a 14 qb rating.
Flacco has a ton of work to do. He looked lost for us tonight. That 2nd half was the worst Ravens offensive football I've seen in some time. Ryan just didn't have it. Guess he's not ice anymore. Sanchez is something different. He's got a real chance to be special tomorrow. His big wins last year and again in Indy last week really speak volumes. When you beat your rivals in the playoffs, that's saying something. We can't seem to do that yet in Baltimore....as bad as it sucks to say, it's the truth. Sanchez can/does beat his rivals. Ryan loses to New Orleans, and Joe can't beat the squeeeellllers.... vote goes to Sanchez right now.
As much as I want to say thanks, you cant really say anything about them right now. All 3 have been really good and really shitty in spots. Right now Ryan is still looking to be the best of them right now. His team got throttled in every way tonight. That game was not on him. Short of a baseball bat to the knee there was no way Aaron Rodgers was losing. In big games it does seem that Sanchez has played better than the other 2. However, 2-3 years in a QB's career doesn't tell you much. Shit, Rodgers wasn't even playing 2 -3 years into his career and look at him tonight.
I wouldn't trade Sanchez for the world. This kid is special. He really came into his own as a 2nd year player this season; after only having one year of college experience as a starter with a great college football program in USC. What Sanchez has done in only two years as a pro is extremely rare. During his rookie season last year, he may have thrown more INT's than TD's; but #6 played his best football during the playoffs & came up clutch more times than not. During his 2nd season? Sanchez really came into his own. More TD's than INT's, 5 game winning drives during the 4th quarter with the pressure on his back (Denver, Houston, Cleveland, Detroit), followed by a playoff game winning drive, on the road, against Peyton Manning & the Colts. If Sanchez & the Jets advance to the SB this year; Sanchez would have then played in 6 playoff games/1 SB game after only being in the league for 2 years. Thats just about a full half of season play of playoff football (7 games) 6-1 is the goal. Brady is next.
Maybe some will disagree with me here. But to me this shows how similar the Ravens and Jets are. Ground and pound. Defense and with great weapons on offense. Only piece missing is a good QB and you have a superbowl team. I have a strong feeling Flacco and Sanchez will be good down the stretch.
Nice comment, I think what we don't appreciate is the fact that home games are important, Flacco and Sanchez continue to play all these road games and that is not a good formula for any QB, if the Jets and the Ravens are fortunate enough to start getting the first and second seed in the future there is a chance they will play in multiple SB and win one. As long as they continue to play road games in the playoffs the chances for both of them are very slim, they are both good enough now to probably win a SB but getting there will be near impossible without first round byes.
