The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Flacco made waves last week when asked if his agent was correct in labeling him a top-five quarterback in the NFL. "I don't think I'm top five,
I think I'm the best," Flacco said. HC John Harbaugh understands few see Flacco as the best football has to offer, but the HC backs his signal-caller and plans to prove him right. "The one thing that you have to love about Joe Flacco is -- he is honest -- he is direct," Harbaugh said. "Flacco is working to be the best QB in football and, in his mind, he's capable of being that. That's what he is saying."

Added Harbaugh: "I love the guy. I will stand behind him and I think I understood what he was saying, but sometimes you shrug your shoulders and you just have to laugh and say, 'all right, let's go prove it then.' If that's how we feel about it, then let's go prove it. Let's make them acknowledge that. ..." As NFL.com's Marc Sessler notes, Flacco's comments from last week shouldn't be overblown. In the very same interview, he acknowledged that he was an unfinished product -- something much closer to the truth. For now. And that's why the Ravens are in no hurry to get Flacco a new contract. He needs still has something to prove.
