Which is pretty much what Droford's doing. And it's ridiculous.

Even if you hype up Flacco's playoff performance in the Super Bowl season, you have to admit that he needed that just to be on Peyton's level as a playoff performer. It's a demonstrable fact.
Lol @ Peytons level as a playoff performer.
14-13 record
40 tds 25 its 7339 yards (272/g)
Had to win out this year to finish above .500
Take out Peytons 2 an run and he's 7-13

Joe Flacco
10-5 record
25 td 10 int 3223 yards (215/g)
Has never 1 and done in the playoffs (Manning holds the record with 9)
Take out the SB run and he's still 6-5
Conceivably Flacco with the same number of games in the playoffs could throw for more TDs, fewer interceptions and win more Super Bowls than Peyton Manning.

My only point in all of this not that Flacco is better than Manning..it's that Manning is extremely overrated QB who choked more often than not in the playoffs.
