His this dude taken any hard sacks since he’s been back? His renaissance seems like a nice story until suddenly it isn’t and you have a 40 year old man crumpled in a heap on the turf.

He's a 6'6" 230lbs 38 year old behind a great offensive line. He can probably take it.

Warner?

Played well as a Cardinal but didn't win the SB. (Lost to PIT)

Yes, he was destroyed in the Jags game I saw. Several big hits.

They’re talking on ESPN right now how if somehow Flacco won the Browns a Super Bowl, he should be in the HOF conversation.  What a joke!  I really would like to see this go up in flames for the Browns in the playoffs.

 

Not for nothing, Flacco is the 2nd greatest playoff QB I've ever seen, behind Brady.

Hopefully #3 after JA (hopefully) hoists the Lombardi next month.

 

Edit:

 

#4 because Kurt Warner was also incredible.  He might actually be better than Brady in the ppayoffs if you consider the comparison between two QBs and not the teams and coaches behind them.  Brady obviously has sustained success and is the goat, but for one playoff game, I'd have to think hard about not picking Warner

Missed holding call on that pick 6. I was so mad. Wanted Warner and Fitz to get theirs. If ever I had a second favorite team, it was the cards that year.

He did have that one magical postseason 10 years ago.

 

But outside of that one postseason, he has 13 TD’s and 10 INT’s playoffs.

No. Quality of play in his two SB winning playoff runs. My assumption is that he’d have to play that well again for the Browns to win it this year. Combine that with a long, solid career. That would be similar to Eli Manning’s resume and he will get in. 


I get the Eli comp bc of the two Super Bowls, although Eli threw for a lot more TDs and Yards in his career.  After looking at the stats, maybe it’s not THAT crazy to at least have the conversation, but I think the better comps for Flacco from a straight passing stats perspective are guys like McNabb and Bledsoe.  Granted those guys did not win SBs, but I would still put Flacco at a level below Eli because of the aforementioned stats.

Stats are only part of the story.  If not for Lee Evans and Billy Cundiff, Flacco might already have 2 rings.

There were a lot of bad takes early in this thread.  

I can’t believe more people didn’t think Flacco, who had one winning record in a season and a td/ int of 80/45 since Turing 30 (not counting this year), wasn’t a great signing!!!! 
 

to pretend like this should be expected is absolutely crazy. It shows the: the Browns’ coaches have been amazing this year; they have a special defense; and they have had a favorable schedule. 
 

and for the record, I still think Matt Ryan is better than him!

We are deluding the hall of fame. It is for great not good. Has anyone ever considered Flacco a top 10 qb any season of his career (maybe this year haha)? Or Eli? Lots of qbs would have won in their situations (put Rivers on those team and they might have more rings). They are not HOFers.

There's next to zero chance this is happening.

 

And I predict for all the hype around the Browns and Flacco they are one and done in the playoffs going to Houston or Jacksonville. Yes they beat both those teams in recent weeks but the Jaguars game was in Cleveland amid their current free fall with Laurence being hurt and they barely won. Also they won in Houston against Case Keenam with Stroud out. With Stroud back they'll easily beat the Browns at home if that matchup materializes.

 

Great defenses and great OLs travel better than great passing games, and that's especially true in the playoffs.  It's no accident that the Browns continued to thrive despite losing their starting QB and their world-class RB because their defense and their offensive line are among the best in the NFL.

James Harrison agrees with you.

Speaking of stats, this season Flacco has 8 ints and 4 fumbles in 5 games.

I mean, he looked pretty rough the last few years. I’m not surprised he’s playing well, the Browns are stacked and Stefanski is a good coach. But if he had been ineffective, I don’t think anyone would have been surprised

Also this suggestions some major regression is coming:  https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/player-stat/interception-percentage

 

flacco has a 4% int ratio, which is the worst by far of any starter. But the Browns defense is so good, it hasn’t matter. It’s a great story though

You sure? Defense was not what made Joe have an MVP with a QB rating of 124.2 with 287 yards and 3 touchdowns in his super bowl victory.
