Joe Flacco is about at the level of someone like Matt Hasselbeck, maybe a bit below. He'll be "a familiar name" that a couple of teams will probably plug in sometime down the road to manage the offense and get nine or so wins. I'm afraid Alex Smith is going to be a one season wonder, but I hope I'm wrong. He might take the 49ers to the NFC championship this year before they find themselves in the middle of the back again. I see him being one of those guys Tampa Bay or Cleveland picks up because they really need a quarterback and he had that one good season he will milk for the rest of his career, sort of like what Trent Dilfer did.
