The Baltimore Ravens have won two road playoff games with their rookie quarterback Joe Flacco, the first time in NFL history a rookie quarterback has won two playoff games. Looking at his statistics, you'd never guess the Ravens were bound for the AFC Championship: Flacco is 20 of 45 (44.4 percent!) for 296 yards and one touchdown, with 0 interceptions, sacks or fumbles. But as this article  points out (this one  too), it's far more important not to throw interceptions than it is to throw touchdown passes in the playoffs.

So for all you people who say, "The only stat that matters is wins and losses," I present to you Joe Flacco. I hope you enjoy this yawner of a wunderkind who averages 10 completions for 148 yards and 0.5 TD passes per playoff game.

As for me, I'll take Aaron Rodgers any day.

And watch as Flacco and Ryan get ~90 in Madden 2010, and Rodgers getting 87.

Rodgers SHOULD be like a 92, he's in the upper tier right now and young. I would give the other 2 you mentioned 87's with lots of potential.

Onto the topic. If Rodgers and our O ever played for the Ravens I couldn't see how we could lose. There'd be very little deficits to over come. We could cruise to many 21-13 wins. Tp think in 07 our D was not quite as good, but almost there and we seen what happened there.

I actually felt comfortable with 17-10 leads or even 17-13 leads late. Anything more then a FG late in the games and I felt we had the game. Not this past year, and to me that was the biggest difference between the Packers.

I'll take a GREAT D and a lousy O, any day over a Great O and a mediocre D.

I'm with you, give me Rodgers. Though, hats off to Flacco, he's very poised for a rookie quarterback.

Flacco had a good season for a rookie, but he isn't as amazing as everyone points him out to be, imo.

The defense carries that team. He's pretty much the Trent Dilfer of that SB team. Not doing anything amazing, just keeping the ball in their possesion and throwing it ok when necessary.

As for the Madden ratings. I'd say, Rodgers gets a 91-93, Ryan an 87-88 and Flacco 83-85.

The amount of 3&outs the Ravens offense had last night, I wouldn't call Flacco any better than Dilfer. Overrated, just like Matt Ryan, but if this is their rookie season, they'll be greats.

I have to see something more out of Flacco before I start him climbing the top QB list.

Hell, Grossman won a conference championship with 11 completions. I don't think he is a very good QB.

He does have a really strong arm and is a tough kid, but there is to many unknowns about him.

And I have no clue about Madden numbers. Is 20 good?

He made plays when it mattered. That was what counted. He looks like the singer of Maroon 5 as well.
