I agree with everything you said except that last part. You always stand on 12. Always.
Also, what the hell did I say that's so wrong. Both of these guys are likely to be pretty bad quarterbacks in the long run. No way either breaks into the top half of the league in my opinion, though if one of them was going to I think it's Flacco. I just don't see how Tebow can maintain the style of play he uses going forward, and I don't see the physical skillset to turn him into a pass-first quarterback. I think he's a forever gimmick guy, and nobody will really want him as a starter if they want to actually win playoff games.
But it's not like I said Flacco is better than Ben Roethlesburger or Philip Rivers. I said he was better than Tim fucking Tebow. Who has been fine for his first seven career games, but what does that say about his next fifty? In my mind, nothing. It's the definition of small sample size. He's like the Hideo Nomo of quarterbacks. It's new and funky and deceptive and ultimately lacking in what the great players of the position actually do. At least Flacco has a cannon, so I could see him developing into something even if he's been pretty damn mediocre up to this point. But I could definitely see the Ravens winning a super bowl this year, and you can't deny that when it has come to the games against quality opponents this year, Flacco has been pretty good. Way better than he's been against the scrubs, which leads me to believe that his biggest problem at this point is not taking games seriously when he doesn't respect his opponent.
