Edit: Looking at them again, it looks like he's being called on to do more since the D keeps allowing leads to flutter away and so his yards are up, but his INTs are too while his rating is down. And the increase in sacks might be him trying to hold the ball and make more plays? Im sure the o-line has more than a bit to do with it.
Yea, last season was one of his best. The original point I responded to was that he has declined since the Super Bowl. It seems like you're under the impression that I said he is doing better this season than last, which I did not and am not saying.
Besides the 2013 season where the offensive line, the running backs, and Flacco all performed poorly, there isn't anything to suggest he has declined since the Super Bowl considering how well he performed last year and the fact that he is on pace to set some personal records this season.
Double check your numbers, too, because he is on pace to have less sacks than any of his seasons besides last, though this may be you misreading and thinking I was comparing his 2015 performance to his 2014 performance.
