    Sometimes truth hurts.....much like an ill timed Flat Joe fumble/pick.
    So in your opinion the NFL analysts at ESPN know more about the NFL than the players who are actually employed by the NFL? Am i correct?

    Oh, I understand peers just fine. Apparently you don't. How do you arrive at the conclusion his peers will have his back versus other Qbs if the vote is league wide?

    And so you believe the Bristol guys have better insight sitting in their booths versus the guys actually on the field?

    Ding dong ding dong......by George I think they've got it.

    Or do you not put any credence into guys who have played the game (some on HOF level) and now can sit on the other end of the isle so to say and call it like they see it?

    These are the same "geniuses" that after a big Cowboy win, declare Tony Romo the savior and then a week later after a Cowboys loss question whether he should starting.

    They also don't have good things to say about the Colts...

    They've always been very fair and supportive to us.

    Even as we were struggling last yr...their coverage of our games and our season was almost like a funeralistic atmosphere. Popular and well liked teams have that effect you see.

    what the hell is the end of an isle? Is that like one of the far ends of Puerto Rico or something? It's AISLE you frickin' moron!!! No man is an island except for you. And if you REALLY want to rank Romo ahead of Flacco given his play off record vs Joe's, it certainly makes sense, given the source it's coming from.

    What Locker Combo (the resident idiot of our Ravens village) doesn't understand about ESPN or the NFL Network is that they are either employed by, or heavily influenced by the NFL.

    Therefore, the NFL is fast becoming a pass-happy league while the Ravens are a defense, running, field position team with a QB who has proven himself a winner. Of course, the pundits will not give Flacco the credit for the wins and only focus on the one or two bad games per season.

    And as for the "...played the game (some on HOF level) ..." comment, most were out of the league long before Flacco came on the scene. The ones who played against him have expressed much less venom than the ones who only see highlights.

    By the way, 32 teams x 53 players = 1,696 total players on all NFL teams.

    Or look at it this way, 32 teams x 22 starters = 704 total starters on all NFL teams.

    Flacco is 74th best on the list out of either 1,696 total or 704 starters.

    If he cared, it would be a nice compliment.
