Joe Flacco's comments prior to the season...

Saw this posted by ESPN:


ESPN

"I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best."

- Joe Flacco prior to the start of the season.

Well, not sure about "the best". But his ass is about to get paid like he's the best!

Bet Ravens are kicking themselves for not signing him to an extension last offseason.

Eli said something similar prior to the '11 season as well, if I remember correctly...

 

[fordman84]

Romo is going to say it before this next season. Then the Cowboys will win the superbowl


















because the players on all other teams will have died from laughter.

Love the confidence, but Aaron Rodgers is the best. However, Flacco's definitely in the conversation for top 5 now.

I remember this. I even commented that he was taking a page out of Eli's book. Clearly it worked. I'm not superstitious, but things like this might make me reconsider.

Not a big Flacco guy. I don't put in the top QB category. He had a good playoff run. I bet he signs a big contract this offseason and reverts back to being inconsistent next year.

So Kap just gotta say it before next season and we win.

Haha, some people think alike. At the time he said this, this was my comment:

"Maybe Manning should have said the best QB instead of elite or top 5. Think about it, he'd be better than Rodgers, Brady, and Brees! Poor planning by Eli, he should have gone for the top, now Flacco's going to be there instead."

Flacco should have been greedier and said that he was the best there ever was and always will be no matter what anyone else said ever.
