I would look at the same number of games. Flacco has also had more experience in the playoffs than Ryan because his team carried him and gained the confidence a lot quicker because of that.

Lets take a look at Matt Ryans first 5 playoff games and compare them to Flacco's first 5 amd see who was better.

Sorry I dont have the stats for that.

Ask and you shall receive.
