Wow you’re way off in crazy land. Flacco has a higher completion percentage, higher yards per pass, and fewer fumbles. And also Flacco takes tons of heat for uneven play. Tebow takes heat because his stats stink, period:

He doesn’t challenge anybody’s belief, he’s just not a good QB. Those are fact, not leftist media anything. Nice guy, bad QB, read the stats.

Flacco almost never throws beyond 15 yards. The safeties can come up quick on the outs and posts and not pay a price. He still misses a high percentage of passes.

You can live and die by simple stats and still not understand their deeper significance. How do they connect to winning and losing? A typical Flacco 12 for 20 with 150 yards and a 17-14 win because of a great defense is not an indication that Baltimore is better with Flacco than it would be with a Tebow 10 for 25 and 80 yards rushing, including several key third down conversions where he scrambles for it. Flacco flat out stinks, but he is not subject to ridicule about it. Crazy Land is reserved for anyone who would pick Flacco over Tebow at this stage in their careers. Baltimore has been good in spite of Flacco. I respect his toughness, but not his skills.

Sheesh, create fantasy leagues run by stats and all of a sudden a bunch of football simpletons think they know all about the game. "Hey, this guy had 52 percent completions!!" Some of those stats are misleading, or don't tell the whole story.

Which stats? The stats from his two college national championships, or the stats from half a rookie season in the NFL when he led a dead-in-the-water team into the playoffs and a playoff win? You sound like you've already written him off, like most of the liberal, know-nothing ESPN "pundits" have.
Get a grip.
