The Greatest of All-Time in my eyes, Joe Flacco! Just know there are 3 levels of Flacco. Tell your friends and enemies.
Level 1 - Casual Flacco (Week 1-10)
Level 2 - Mighty Flacco (Week 11-16)
Level 3 - Fiery Flacco  (Playoff Flacco aka god status)
Beware of Fiery Flacco. He doesn't forgive. He doesn't forget.
'Casual' seems a bit forgiving imo. I would just stick with the distinction between regular season Joe: mediocre with some bright spots here and there. And then of course, January Joe: forget about it...Â
Go Ravens, make Brady whine on Monday!
His "mediocrity" is linked directly with key injuries of other O players. Our running game is a vital parameter to his "stage" status. My last example is Justin Forsett in 014. If he could play playoff style all season, then you could call him great for that one season. If we won this SB then I would call him superstar Â
Level 0: Basement Jaxx Joe: "Where's your head at?" This is the Joe that throws multiple silly interceptions, takes too many chances, and looks shaky in the pocket. It is rare you see this Joe, but he does exist.
Level 1: Just Joe: Not a great game, his performance is decent and is capable of winning or losing a game depending on other factors like defense and penalties.
Level 2: Joe Cool: A stand out performance that wins ball games. Doesn't get rattled, doesn't make bad decisions or very few, may have a turnover but if he does it might be of the kind that isn't entirely his fault.
Level 3: "Fumanchu Gotta Be Kidding Me!" or "You must be Joe King!" This is "Elite Joe" that can carry the offense and the team single handed. This Joe is a rare sight but he's been known to show up in the playoffs.
