Joe Flacco is not elite — Serial investigation
Is Joe Flacco an elite quarterback? This week's episode: he gets paid like one. Could it be a coincidence that Flacco had bet on himself going into the best season of all time? You have to ask yourself, who stood to gain from Flacco's Super Bowl victory? And the answer is, you guessed it, Joe Flacco. Just weeks after winning the championship, the Ravens rewarded him with a six-year, $120 million contract. You can't make this stuff up, folks. It's as plain as the nose underneath your eyebrow. Not Elite.
The 'Is Joe Flacco elite?' debate was a signature PFT bit. Presented as a parody of the Serial podcast (hugely popular in 2014-15), treating Flacco's competence like an unsolved mystery. His verdict: Not Elite. Flacco's post-Super Bowl career largely supports this.
