Dafuq? Flacco is still mediocre as hell. He throws a great deep ball, has all the physical ability in the world, and has hot streaks from time to time (like those playoffs) that highlight what he could be if he had any level of consistency. But he doesn't. He lacks all the mental intangibles that makes guys like Br*dy great. He can't be consistent, he goes through long lulls where he plays like absolute shyt - lacking short/intermediate accuracy, missing blitzes, throwing into coverage, checking down to his RB every other play. There are two Flaccos - great or fukking horrible and usually the fukking horrible guy wins out.
If you take out both of their fluke seasons (12 for Flacco and this year for Ryan), I still trust Ryan more as a QB, but he ain't much better to be honest. He's another guy that can move the chains, and he actually is more consistent than Flacco from my observations, but his shortcomings are different. I think he lacks a killer instinct. I have never been concerned about about my team facing a Matt Ryan led team because I know, despite his ability to make great throws and move the chains, he's not going to bury you. He'll make a key mistake and/or just play scared
