So he out played Brady in two games, BFD, and what does he have to show for it?

Read the links, it does a good job of breaking down exactly why Flacco has a bunch of wins under his belt, has the playoff record he does, and is yet still questioned as a legit top level QB.

RE: QBs the question still remains, which comes first elite or SB rings.  RE: Flacco he is not elite as of today, if he wins a SB in the next 3 weeks does that make him elite...

Whats your point , in big games Flacco has performed infinitely better than your one true Luv Patricia Manning .

He's had the misfortune to be beaten by the best in the World Tom Brady , when his receiver channeled Dennis North drop in the endzone and his FG kicker missed a follow up chippy .

But in that game he eviscerated Toms play on the field .

Manning beat Lovie Smiths career backup for a ring , but vs Drew Brees and somebody who could match him tit for tat he caved under the pressure just like he did vs the Rats last week .

Flacco had the misfortune to try and bring offense to a team and organization who believes solely in defense , but with Caldwell calling plays , he's become free and whipped Peyton Manning in Denver for all the chips on his play .

His problem is that of personality  not talent , which is understated.

That's all well and good SD, but we already have a "Flacco" on the roster, He's known as Brandon Weeden.

There's absolutely no reason for the Browns to even consider paying a guy like JF when they already have a guy with the same skill set. Weeden fits a down field passing offense to a T.

Yeah, I know that some will say that BW is inaccurate, but that had more to do with the offense he was asked to play than any personal liabilities. Even the worlds best athletes struggle when their rhythm is broken, and playing in Shurmur's offense never allowed BW to get into a rhythm let alone maintain it.

If the Browns change QB's, it'll be for someone with the skills of a Cam Newton/ Colin Kaepernick, not a Joe Flacco.

Besides it doesn't matter anyway. Like you said up post, Bmore isn't about to let JF just walk. And we're in no position to trade for him. Not that they would trade him to the Browns anyway.

Duh ,, try and keep up Popa , just because I said Flacco is a top QB doesn't equate with me saying we should be the one to pay him .

If anything you'll find my posts are in favor of Chud and his ability to get the most out of our staff of QB's starting but not limited to Weeds .

Wrong gun pointed in the wrong direction on this one .

Sorry dude. You're right, I skipped to the bottom of the thread and missed some info from the top.

I too would like to see them develop BW, but I got a feeling Lombardi will go for a signature move. Something like a trade for Mallett or some other unnecessary waste of resources.

Thinking same Big Poppa. Never mind Mallett = Weeds as far as a player. Big, immobile, drop back pocket QB.

It'd be Banners guy.
