I go back and forth. There are times/games where he is just unstoppable, makes every play, looks like he's playing at a different speed. But, especially in crunch time, in playoffs, sometimes in really big games in the regular season, he comes up way short. Last year, they had every opportunity to make the SB and he did not make the plays the Ravens needed him to make. Some very questionable decisions, some really bad throws, etc. Seems like it happens more often in playoff games than regular season games, but he's put up some real stinkers in the postseason. Now, he does rack up the stats in the regular season and has won 2 (?) MVP awards so he's not dog crap, by any stretch. He's a really good QB most of the time. He just seems to save his worst performances in the highest pressure games sometimes. Maybe I'm completely off base - it's definitely possible.
My sense is that he's viewed as one of the top 3 or 4 QBs in the NFL and I don't know if I'd put him there. I'd certainly hesitate if I had to choose one QB to start a conference championship game.
