Is Joe Flacco Elite? (1 Viewer)

[El Caliente]

Simple Question.

 

[whodatdb]

No. He is 2 inconsistent. He is clutch but not elite. He is on the Rothlesberger, Eli level of play. If he plays like he has in the playoffs all of next season then yea he could get in the "elite" but not right now.

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

He's getting there. He shows up in the playoffs and that's the difference between an elite and an above average QB.

 

[birdog]

Yes.....their playoff run this year proves that Flacco is an elite QB. I fully expect him to be paid like Drew Brees type of money. He deserves it. 11TDs, and no picks in the playoffs is quite extraordinary.

 

[xpuma20x]

He looks really elite with that idiot Culliver falling down in pass coverage.

 

[bornnraisedwhodat]

He definitively has elite ability. But for him to be elite imo is to be able to do what he did in these play offs on a week to week basis. Being elite is about consistency. But he played outstanding in this post season and deserves a big contract.

I don't know, but now it obviously looks like the Failcons drafted the wrong QB in 2008.

 

[crawfish2010]

Absolutely not, but he has a ring and is about to get paid like one.

 

[Saints 318]

he close to it

 

[porculator]

He's exactly as elite as Eli, which is not elite.

I really hate flacco. that being said I won't be biased like half the people on this forum....Yes he is elite, I hate to say it but his level of play is on that level

Elite means best of the best, top of the crop.

There are 32 starting quarterbacks, to be elite you have to be a top 3-4 quarterback.

Manning, Brady, Brees and Rodgers. There is the elite.

No they didn't. Melty Ice was the perfect choice for the Falcons. ;-0

Maybe above average, but elite? No. About as above average as Roethlisbergermeister.

On this board it's spelled tacoes

No way, is he good enough to win a Super Bowl apparently so. You do not have to be elite to win a Super Bowl just have to be good. Rothlesberger is a prime example, elite in my opinion is more like the Payton/Brady/Rodgers/Brees they are all flashy and set records and all have a Super Bowl rings. Then just below them you have your Eli Manning/Rothlesberger/Flacco they aren&#8217;t flashy but they are good and defiantly good enough to get the job done. I&#8217;m just glad the 69ers didn&#8217;t win.<O</O
