At the very least, I need to give you credit for no longer trying to pretend like Flacco hasn't been good since 2010.
I just can't accept that Dalton plays poorly in the playoffs because of Marvin Lewis, just as I am no longer going to blame one of Flacco's OC's for his lackluster play these last few years. What I do know is that he has been one of, if not these best, playoff QBs in the last 5-6 years, and I wouldn't want someone like Dalton in his place.
Just answer the questions.
1. Do you not feel Flacco benefited from the early experience (5 playoff games in 2 years)?
2. Do you not feel Flacco is in a better situation coaching wise?

Fwiw, yes Flacco has been better since his 3rd year, but if you look at his year to year playoff stats, the SB run was still an anomaly. He's had some solid years since, but nothing close to that level.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
