He also looked pretty damn special during that SB run...didn't he? Hard to slam a SB MVP if u ask me especially when compared to a guy like Dalton who has had nothing but inferior play in the playoffs.

That SB run is the only thing he can hang is hat on. Good job you looked good 3 games in a row.

The guy has one more Super Bowl win and twice the playoff wins the Bengals had in their 46 year existence.  If Flake-O is nothing special what does that say about us?  Ouch.

Flacco didn't play well in the playoffs until his 5th year in the league. Flacco's first 5 playoff games he was 1 TD to 6 INTs (familiar huh?) he only had over 50% completions once in those 5 games, in those 5 games he didn't have over 200 yards in any, for the people who like passer rating he had 2 games lower than 20 rating in his first 5 games, but he still won 3 out of the 5. He had an amazing Superbowl run, and that's about it. In the regular season he hasn't done anything special, unless you want to say that having more INTs than TDs is another kind of special.
