Quarterback Rank: #13
Overall: #86
Flacco had a rough start to 2010. He had five interceptions to a touchdown, but put that behind him in a hurry. Flacco had 25 total touchdowns to five interceptions the rest of the way. Flacco set career highs in yards, touchdowns and had the fewest interception totals of his career. He took his game to a new level last season, mainly because of some new additions at receiver for him in the passing game. It helps to have a guy like Anquan Boldin on your side. Flacco has two straight seasons with 3,600-plus passing yards and 47 total touchdowns during that stretch. He completes an impressive 62 percent of his passes for his career.
Flacco has a big arm and very good accuracy. And he continues to get better and better as an NFL quarterback. Remember, he is in just his fourth season and is 26 years old. The Ravens have more of a run-first offense, but are more diverse these days and continue to give Flacco chances to make plays during the course of a game.

Flacco has become a solid No. 1 fantasy quarterback. He isn't quite in the elite category but just outside those top guys. Consider him a low-end No. 1. Don't be surprised to see Flacco have his first 4,000-yard season this year. He also should be good for 28 or so scores. His fantasy stock continues to get better and better. |

| Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti provided a timetable for negotiations with QB Joe Flacco on a long-term contract extension, saying he would like a deal to be done this year. 'I would anticipate an extension that starts in 2012,' Bisciotti said. 'Our goal is to get it done for 2012 for sure.' Flacco is heading into the final year of his rookie contract. However, it's not clear if Flacco's recent performance has affected Bisciotti's stated plans to start negotiations before the 2012 season. Several insiders acknowledged that it should at least give the organization something more to think about. |

| Fantasy Impact: Flacco really played well. Hopefully, this game gives him confidence going forward. He carried the offense much of the game. |

| Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco would like to receive a contract extension sooner rather than later with his rookie deal set to expire following the 2012 season. However, according to sources close to him, Flacco also knows that any real leverage in negotiations only will be gained during the playoffs after a season in which he failed to reach many of his 2010 marks. The likelihood of Flacco receiving a new contract rises if he makes strides during this postseason, and it could create more pressure on the organization to get a deal done. If he doesn't perform well, it will be much more likely that he must play out the duration of his rookie deal. |

| Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Sunday, Jan. 15, that he felt QB Joe Flacco did a good job in the Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans. 'I thought he did a great job under fire. That's a premier pass rush team and we didn't do a great job always of blocking,' Harbaugh said. |

| Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco feels he does not receive any credit for the team's success. 'I'm sure if we win, I'll have nothing to do with why we won, according to you guys,' Flacco said. 'It is what it is. We're going to do our best to try to win it, and it doesn't really matter what the reason is.' Flacco said the makeup of his team - namely the presence of RB Ray Rice - dictates he could never be in the same discussion as the NFL's top passers. 'You guys want everybody to be Aaron Rodgers and be Tom Brady, but you guys do realize, those guys' (teams) don't run the ball?' Flacco asked rhetorically. 'If we try to do that, the criticism that we'd take around here would be ridiculous ... You guys want an elite quarterback. You have to stop complaining when we go out there and throw the ball 60 times a game.' |
