QB rankings aren't about their first 4 years in the league, they're about where that QB is at right now. As of this moment, Joe Flacco is better than Andy and it isn't even debatable because of his absurd playoff performances over the last few years.

I don't like Joe more than the next Bengals fan, but let's be a little realistic here. If Andy did what Flacco has been doing in the playoffs we'd be locking him in a top 10 spot and calling everybody stupid that would disagree.

There are a lot of things wrong with this list, and IMO one of them is Andy being so low. What isn't wrong with the list though is Flacco being above Andy. He deserves it until he slows down in the playoffs or Andy starts lighting it up when he gets there.

Well that's only because Dalton has good regular season stats too. Flacco has had good playoff games last year, and a great run a couple of years ago, but let's not fool ourselves here. Flacco only had above 25 TDs once in his 7 year career. Flacco has never had more than 4000 yards once in his career, and Flacco has had more INTs than TDs one year. Personally just because Flacco had an amazing run in the playoffs one year doesn't make him better than other QBs.
