Thread: John Harbaugh: Joe Flacco is NFL's best quarterback

Wouldn't take much thought, nor research, to give you a bunch of examples that completely negate this idea, however. The best team rarely actually wins the Super Bowl because someone else beat them in the playoffs. That's the fun about the NFL.... "ANY Given Sunday." Meaning, even the lesser team can win...and they often do in the playoffs.

I saw a stat on Twitter recently that he has 17 TD and 1 int in his last 7 playoff starts. So that would have to include his last two playoff games before that super bowl run as well. All of his bad games came much earlier in his career.

From 2010 forward, he has 20 TD's and 2 INT's in the playoffs. Guess Rav only wants to look at 2008-2009 when he was a rookie and sophomore QB.
