Is Joe Flacco the AFC version of Eli Manning?

[WiIdcat]

I can't help but see how strikingly similar Joe Flacco and Eli Manning are. Of course Eli has the 2 rings but both are wildly inconsistent but come crunch time, including playoff time, these 2 always show up. I would love to one day see these 2 go at it in a Superbowl.

Both even have similar nicknames- Joe Cool and Easy E.

It's crazy but at Joe's point in his career, he really is the Eli of the AFC. Super Bowl wins aside, Flacco put up better numbers in his 5th year (this year) than Eli did in his. But, Eli played at an elite, top 5 level last year. That's something that Joe Flacco has come nowhere close to at this point in his career.

If it weren't for people getting all pissy about Eli, this place would be far less entertaining ...

You can't spell elite without Eli.

You can't spell elite without Eli.

Apparently if Flacco wins you won't be able to spell Elite without Joe either.....

Flacco isn't Eli status until he can grow the Fu Manchu again.

I feel I have failed you. I clearly have not gotten my point across to you.

Let me try it in the least subtle way possible: If the birds win, you are literally be deluged with talking head after talking head basically saying that 97% of your posts about Eli are dead wrong, and that Eli has a status you absolutely deny, decry and defy.

That's the part I personally am finding entertaining; that and the fact that you know it's coming.

If the birds loose...wow, will you hear about "being clutch".

See...I am on the other side; not an "Eli is elite" guy, but smart enough to see that the dude is special.

and if Flacco and the Ravens win he will be special to Raven's fans.....

And if another quarterback wins, they claim the status of Eli's "eliteness" or whatever. What kind of crap is that? Some of you worry me.
