Brady, Rodgers, Peyton, Eli, Ben and Drew - these guys can single handedly carry their team. When the Ravens are in a rut, Flacco just heaves the ball. You never see him throw a sharp ball into triple coverage. You never see him throw many slants, passes to slot receivers, barely catchable side-line drives. Ask Flacco to make the pass to Holmes in the Steelers vs Cardinals Super Bowl. He wouldn't be able to.
What he can do? Barely make passes. He has one of the worst completion percentages in the league, not an "average" one. He consistently fumbles when under pressure. He consistently makes bad throws under pressure. In the playoffs alone this season, he threw the ball badly 7 or 8 times right at the opposing player, but for some reason CBs and safeties can no longer catch. If Torey Smith and Boldin weren't there to bail out Flacco's heave-and-pray attempts, the Ravens would have been done in Denver.
Give credit to the guys working around him. There are QBs who have to carry most of their offense, and they do it well. The Ravens's offense has to carry Flacco, and you can tell any time Smith and Boldin are adequetely covered. Those are the games Flacco has some of the worst ratings in history in.
