There off the top of my head I found five better than Flacco. It’s even easy to swap out Peyton Manning and his questionable recovering injury for Ben Roethlisberger or Tony Romo maybe even Eli Manning. Oh wait, I left out Mike Vick and Mathew Stafford, and what about Cam Newton, he seems like a better quarterback.
