NFL: 4th and 6

[Jesus]

When a Falcon fan calls out Flacco, says he sucks and mentions his stats the comparison is implied. Seriously why else would you make such an effort. Tebows win over the top d in his first playoff game is light years ahead of anything Ryan has done in his playoff career.

tebow also played a injury riddled D missing 3/4 their D-Line and polamlou hurt, as well as ryan clark not there. but hey lets not mention that.

Are you serious? You would really take Tebow over Ryan???
Sorry Jesus, I'm Jewish, your mind tricks have no power over me, that's absurd.

near the End of the game, i felt he made a bad decision by letting the kicker try and tie it up. Then again 20/20 vision right.

If I were in Harbaughs position i would've gone for it.

Yes that is exactly what I said. Nice deduction...

Oy.

Ryan V. Flacco will never ever die, however, if you want to be real, then not only is Tebow a better QB but Alex Smith, Steve DeBerg, Jay Fiedler, Bubby Brister, and Aaron Brooks are all better than Ryan because they won one playoff game. Let's not get started on QB's with more than one win, such luminaries as Rex Grossman, Wade Wilson, and Kordell Stewart who each have 2.

I shouldn't even mention Brad Johnson, Mark Sanchez, and Trent Dilfer, who have 4, 4, and 5 playoff wins respectively. Not to mention 2 superbowls combined.

What about these super bowl starter QB's, Tony Eason and Jeff Hostetler? Or what about super bowl 37 with what can only be described as Quarterbacking greatness when Rich Gannon and Brad Johnson squared off in a passing duel for the ages.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, all I'm saying is that playoff wins, the same as any other win can sometimes be more of a product of situation as much as skill. There is not a single QB mentioned above, including Flacco, that I'd take over Ryan. Matt hasn't played especially well, but he hasn't ever went 4 for 10 for 34 yards and a pick. In a 33-10 win over the Patriots...IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Is Ryan the best QB in the league? Hell no, but he's only 26 years old and taken a franchise that has paled talent wise in comparison to the Ravens among others (Jets, Giants being in the forefront) back to prominence and a yearly invite to the playoffs. You have to be there to win, and he will. But honestly if you gave him the Ravens defense at any point in his career here he'd have a win for sure. Maybe more.

We should be thankful we have the guy instead of constantly finding negative stuff to say about him, I mean, we could go back to being a below .500 team 3 out of 4 years instead of being in the playoffs. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, myself included. And I respect what anyone has to say. Me? I choose to be thankful to have next year to even look forward to. Due in large part to one Matthew Thomas Ryan, no Ryan, no playoffs. And despite the lol's from the media at our ineptitude, it's better to be there than to be at home every.single.year.
