When your defense blows the lead in the last minute and you have to go 80 yards in 20 seconds or worse , that is a cheap way to throw up an interception, which Flacco has done before. There would never be a 4th-and without Flacco leading an yard touchdown drive to make it a game. Often a quarterback is at the mercy of others to close a game, and Flacco is no stranger to that.
Five times, Flacco has led the Ravens back in the fourth quarter to take the lead, but Baltimore still lost the game. Instead of just using the wins, the losses are also included for a game sample.
You can use win probability WP to gauge how difficult the attempt was. Some of the numbers overlap because they are taken from the same moment in the game, but some you will see are much different.
They actually won 15, so 2. This is the only calculation that takes every game into account, so a number below expectations is not good news, but that does not necessarily mean the offense was more responsible for the loss.
In the 27 games with a fourth-quarter comeback opportunity, the Ravens were expected to win 7. They actually won 10, so a gain of 2. Admittedly this is a metric with great promise, but still needs work to be done to compare quarterbacks with. Perhaps an average of all fourth-quarter drives should be used. In the Dec. At this point, the Ravens had a 78 percent chance of winning the game.
But after Ben Roethlisberger drove the Steelers 92 yards for the go-ahead touchdown, Flacco trailed , and had just left at his own Now the win probability is 0. This example shows how a team can be in great position to win a game with about a quarter left, but when it came time for the comeback opportunity, because of how late the defense lost the lead, the situation was bleak.
It was actually the opposite of what people are taking from it. Rather, he said he wanted to just be part of a team working towards a common goal and show his teammates they can have confidence in him as a football player. It was very professional and appropriate. The Broncos signed Flacco their as starting QB and it was a hot mess. All you racist haters can keep on hating! Watch what develops.
Hurts was not a stellar quarterback in college in comparison to others at that position. I like Joe being there to turn up the heat! Hard to deny Iggles have grossly mismanaged the most critical position on the team. Not a pretty picture in Eastern PA. Your a back up Qb who has done nothing since winning a super bowl….. The coaches will do the coaching. At this point in their careers, Flacco could give the team the best chance to win, but not necessarily compete for a championship.
The goal is to get the guy with the higher ceiling ready for a championship run. Who knows, Hurts might come to camp ready to win it all, and Flacco is just an insurance policy.
Kind of like Nick Foles. Also he is ridiculously talented and a great leader. Jalen Hurts is very talented. Not as talented as Mahomes but more than most. You must be logged in to leave a comment.

Getty Images. Joe is a good guy, I hope he does well. You do you Joe. Supposed to be a team player Dude! I think you have the wrong attitude! Deja vu? He said the same thing about Drew Lock! Team building Salty Joe! Philly is like oh yea? Both would go to Canton if they retired today. I thought Flacco outplayed Manning in frigid Denver last January, leading the Ravens to the huge upset. Joe was just better. He never made a glaring mistake, whereas Peyton blundered in overtime, throwing a floater back across the field to a Ravens defensive back.
But the gaffe remined me of the last pass Brett Favre threw for the Packers, also at the tail end of game played in an icebox. Favre inexplicably floated the ball to a Giants cornerback. A year-plus later, after Green Bay dealt him to the Jets, Favre signed with the dome-dwelling Vikings. Smart move. Shattering his career mark for passer rating, Favre rebounded with a fabulous age season.
Over at CBS Sports. The Ravens have won 68 percent of his games, plus the mark in the postseason. He has big hands and a big arm, helping to combat cold, windy weather. Flacco began the second half with his fourth touchdown pass, finding Justin Forsett for 16 yards.
