When the questions came about stacking up Flacco against Brady, most coaches and teammates rolled their eyes.
"It's unfair to compare the two," wide receiver Derrick Mason said. Ravens coach John Harbaugh was more succinct, saying, "I couldn't care less."
Flacco essentially shrugged his shoulders.
"I have no idea," Flacco said of the comparison to Brady. "Over the last handful of years, he's done a great job and won many Super Bowls. I hope to win Super Bowls in my career, and that's what we're working toward here in Baltimore."
