Oh no doubt, I agree. I'm just saying that I'm beginning to suspect that New England QB's are products of a great system first, and a great player second. How unlikely is it that Belichick would find two diamond in the rough QB's?

...and I'm not saying that Cassel is a diamond. Not yet anyway.

ROY is Matt Ryan. I've seen the majority of his snaps this year because Michael Turner is on my fantasy team and I cant remember a rookie QB since Peyton Manning that looks so comfortable at the position. I'm not saying he is Manning but he seems to have the command of the quarterback position that so few rookie qb's have. I think he will reach Jedi status in this league soon.

Flacco, Joe - TDS 10 INT 9 YDS 1,996 RTG 78.7
Ryan, Matt - TDS 11 INT 6 YDS 2,418 RTG 88.3

Both are 7-4. Strength of schedule has the Ravens at 5th and the Falcons at 21st.

It's debatable who's done more with less, but Ryan does have edge in the stats. Flacco's looked just as good in the few games I've seen.
