Is Joe Flacco the WORST non-rookie Starting QB in the NFL?

if u want to look at worst non-rookie starting QB's,why hasnt Cutler's name been mentioned post-Tannehill's injury,and before his own?

Still can't believe Eli has two rings when he isn't even very good.

Players do not win rings, teams win rings ... Brady has not won 5 rings, 5 different Patriots teams won 5 rings ...

Because even Cutler has been WAY, WAY, WAY better than Flacco ... Flacco a 70.0 rating and on pace for 10 TDs & 18 INTS ... Cutler a 78.8 (12.6% higher) and on pace for 19 TDs and 13 INTS ...

Flacco fell off the proverbial "cliff" before Brady ... and Flacco's 7+ years younger ... wow

Eli isnt doing all that great at the moment either.

Jeff- You can say that again. Of course, if he still had Beckham that would make a big difference. He also doesn't have Shepard or Marshall either.

Rabs- Remember that Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won super bowls. Also the Giants won it with their back-up (Hostetler) when Simms broke his ankle.

In my opinion neither Flacco, nor Eli should be in Canton. As a Giants fan I would put Simms way ahead of Eli as a QB.

Flacco has no chance at the HOF I don't think ... Eli will be a first ballot HOF'ER ... the guy has 2 SB MVP's and won both those games as a big underdog against the guy many consider the GOAT ... Eli is 1st ballot for sure imho.

There is no case against Eli making the HOF ... none ... and I am NOT an Eli or Giants fan at all.

another giants fan here. Eli no hofer, His td to int ratio has got to be up there,
Yes he was big under dog, Giants D stepped up big time.

Eli 7,085 attempts 330 td 220 int 109 fumbles qb rating 83.8

qb#2 6,173 att. 326 td's 161 int 93 fumbles qb rating 94.4

qb#3 8,978 att 476 td's 224 int 97 fumbles 96.4 qb rating

Devlin- I agree with you. When I think of Hall of Fame I think of elite. I do not ever think of Eli as an elite quarterback.

[Jameis1of1]

While I agree with all of you that Eli has NEVER been "elite" outside of the two post-season SB runs, which totalled a whopping eight games, I would bet big $ that those two playoff runs alone, combined with the decent "career numbers" will earn Eli a place in Canton ... I would literally be shocked if he doesn't make it in on his first ballot, let alone ever.

Believe me, I have no doubt that a guy like Tony Romo, who may never make it into the HOF, was an infinitely better QB than Eli, but so much of the perception of players, and especially of the HOF voting process is built up around media narratives and the like, and all of that said, you've got a site like FiveThirtyEight saying that Eli was "the most clutch playoff QB EVER" ahead of even Montana ... which is insane ... but that's what they say ... I have no real doubt Eli gets into Canton.
