I gotta disagree with you on this one and i actually wasnt as big on flacco as everyone else.. take away flacco SB and he is still ahead of lamar. Flacco won atleast one playoff game every time we entered the playoffs. Yea lamar had a great season but he didnt top it off with anything. Only people that would put lamar over flacco are the new fans, which is ok but he flacco is suppose to be Ravens all time Qb and thats not even a debate. This is coming from someone who thinks flacco was never an above avg qb
Think it just depends on how you evaluate QBs.
I don't put nearly as much stock into "winning playoff games" as everybody else does when it comes to QB play, Flacco's a pretty good example of this, because he's got, at a minimum, at least 2-3 playoff wins on his resume where he essentially did nothing (or actually hurt the team) in those games. He certainly wasn't a key reason for some of those victories, especially early on.
No Ravens QB in history has done anything even in the ballpark of what Lamar did last season. The only reason I'd put Flacco ahead of Lamar as the better QB, for now, is simply due to lack of sample size. If Lamar somehow goes the RGIII route and is out of the league or a backup in 3-4 years, nobody will even remember his MVP season. He plays out his rookie contract at the level he displayed last season, and yet still doesn't win a Lombardi, I'd have no quorums ranking him over Joe. Joe's best seasons were average to below average years for a lot of HOF-level QBs.
