    Of course, when I say "roughly Chad Henne's career stats, I mean a much less accurate version of Chad Henne, not the actual Chad Henne.

    Ah, I did more looking and a more accurate comparison to Joe Flacco's career post-season stats is Mark Sanchez's career stats.

    Mario. He just had more. He was pushing 300 lbs and was as fast as JC. Just as long as Clowney but taller as well.


    Just an incredible athlete.

    I didn't say anything about "splits." I said the 20 yard shuttle and the 3 cone drill.

    We're comparing him to Schaub... greatness isn't necessary. Where are you getting 1TD/1int?.... Flacco is 19/8 TD. The hail mary was luck, but he's also a dropped TD away from beating NE twice with 2 SBs appearances. I promise Flacco won't throw any 4 yard pick-6's... Schaub's specialty.

    I don't think him being slightly taller than some of the best pass rushers makes any difference at all, Bruce smith 6'4, Reggie White 6'5, Julius Peppers 6'5, jared allen 6'6, jason taylor 6'6, JJ Watt 6'5, etc.

    Yeah, that's right actually, the site I got the stats from averaged it wrong. LOL, you promise he won't? The guy who threw 22 interceptions last year? The guy who threw 5 interceptions in a single game? I'm afraid you are letting team accomplishment cloud your assessment of his play.

    Mario played with his pass to high constantly.

    My bad. I usually only read the 1st line of your post and stop because you like to get insulting at some point in your post.

    And all I said was that "I" give Mario the edge because of combine numbers (at his size) and an impressive college career (and no red flags entering the draft). That's it. Just "my" opinion.

    yes he does. But that's was/is an issue with him specifically and not one that is applied to everyone his height.

    Clowney by slight edge. I just think the speed advantage is so big especially since clowney has better moves at pass rushing. Both are freaks tho... I been wanting an olb that was a freak athlete for the longest...this is the clay Mathews jr. Type we wish we had...that kind of speed and attack except even larger. I can't wait!

    If only Mario had accepted less money... our pass rush would be devastating to every other team out there.

    Clowney's burst off the line is in another ball park compared to Mario.

    Mario might have put up good combine numbers but the guy didn't look it on the field.

    That is because he had bad technique.

    Mario's motor was in question coming out of college.

    flacco had one magical postseason? :rolleyes: except there was this thing called a super bowl that happened too.

    What about that magical postseason I had with your gal? Doesn't count and you don't care right?

    I'm sure JFK would like magical moment back where he rode through dealey plaza.

    Bottom line: Flacco has a ring and there isn't anything you can do or say about it. Number it up all you want it's about super bowl and your take is on the outside looking in.

    You were wrong that the texans could have gotten manning, and you are wrong here again about super bowl winning flacco. Normally I wouldn't care and just pass you off as another tool (which you are) but you seem to go around here passing everything off as word of god.. and you are so damn sure about it that I have to put you in check. Confidence is one thing I can appreciate, but being so off putting like you are and so cocky wrong about it is REALLY annoying. Please stop with the condescending talk that is inevitably wrong. It sucks. STFU. please.

    Unless of course you are just having one of the those magical moments where it doesn't count.

    It's more than postseason anyways... I just stopped talking.

    Aside from his 117 QB rating last year, he owns a 96 and 90 the 2 previous seasons. This includes the dropped TD pass in the end-zone ('11) which would've given BAL multiple SBs with Joe. It's silly to argue Flacco hasn't been clutch in the postseason. Even sillier when Schaub is the other contestant.

    Mario didn't have 3 sacks his last year of college.

    Flacco had more passing yards and TD's than Brees and Rodgers during their super bowl run. Flacco also had to beat Luck, Manning, Brady, and the San Francisco defense during his super bowl run which was very impressive.
