Everybody has their various insecurities, as well as for Joe Flacco, it's apparently not viewed as the current-day response to Trent Dilfer.
Flacco knows why the Ravens' defense receives the lion's share of credit once the team wins, however the 4th-year quarterback does not believe he warrants to become an afterthought, either.
"I am confident that we win, I'll do not have anything related to why we won, based on everyone," a smirking Flacco stated Wednesday, based on the Baltimore Sun. "It's what it's. We are likely to do good to try and win it, also it does not really appear this is because.Inch
This is not the very first time Flacco continues to be open this year about perceived disrespect. In November, he stated he was "baffled" through the media fawning over Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, stating the relatively moderate coverage -- in Flacco's opinion -- that supported the Ravens' huge AFC North conquer the Steelers in Week 9.
Flacco brought the Ravens on the 92-yard touchdown drive to steal that November. 6 game using their division rivals, the kind of clutch performance that turns naysayers into followers. However, many still see the QB like a supporting character a notch or two underneath the elite at his position.
Flacco stated the makeup of his team -- namely the existence of All-Professional running back Ray Grain -- dictates he could not be within the same discussion because the NFL's top passers.
"Everyone want everyone to become Aaron Rodgers and become Tom Brady, but everyone do realize, individuals guys' (teams) don't run the ball?" Flacco requested rhetorically. "As we try to achieve that, the critique that we'd take around here could be absurd. ... Everyone want a top-notch quarterback. You need to stop worrying whenever we go available and toss the ball 60 occasions a game title."
The Sun's Rays reported that Flacco was good-natured throughout his candid conversation using the media, but it is obvious he'll have something to prove once the Ravens host the Texans in Sunday's divisional 2010 nfl playoffs.
Flacco may be the only quarterback in National football league history to entitled to the postseason in all of his first four seasons within the league. He is able to use valleys that match his peaks, but veteran linebacker Ray Lewis thinks Flacco absolutely is capable of doing leading Baltimore to the first Super Bowl because the 2000 season.
"There is something about Joe I have loved from Day 1," Lewis stated Wednesday, based on the Connected Press. "You need to appreciate a youthful kid who arrives with this much talent, and you see where his talent is certainly going. Now he's much more of a mentor, obtaining the offense to know him. The thing is his composure and just how he's settling directly into really control this offense. Now where we're, why would not it be Joe to guide us to some Super Bowl?"
Flacco has more naysayers than possibly Lewis realizes. Fortunately for that QB, he is able to make use of the the following month to change his status permanently.
