Is Joe Flacco the AFC version of Eli Manning?

They are both good QB's.

they are both pocket passers. I would have to look at stats but I bet Flacco throws less and maybe a bit more consistent

Flacco is a bit worse than Eli, Eli is a better precision passer (can put the ball on the money) but Flacco has the better arm and can put balls up for grabs and his WR's will get it.

That's an Eli trademark.

Yeah that's what i was saying lol. Plenty of times where i've seen Nicks just out jump his guy and snatch the ball.

Yeah I think they're comparable, sure. Both have similar, emotionless demeanours on-field, and have been derided by their own fans and media alike.

You know and I know and everybody else knows that if Flacco wins it all, it will not start a discussion, "Is Joe Flacco a good QB".

It will start the "Is Joe Flacco elite" discussion. And Eli will be extensively used in the discussion. What will be difficult for some on this board is that Eli will actually be used as an example that Flacco has to meet to be considered elite.

But since there is zero chance that you would describe Ei as Elite, you deftly sidestepped the obvious.
