In this league, there's a lot of times when you're going to have guys open, and it's going to be all good and the fact that you're off a tick might not matter. But when it really matters, you're going to need to be right on it. And I think the more reps you get, the more likely chance you have to feel comfortable in those times of high stress.

I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback. I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way.

I have a great relationship with Special Olympics back in Baltimore and have had one for many years.

In order to make it in this league, period, you have to be able to tune out some things and believe in yourself and go play.

Joe Flacco

We tend to just think about how hard it is to never have thrown to a guy. That is true, every guy has their own way of doing things and you build a rapport with guys throughout the course of the year and throughout practice and all of that.

In my mind, the speed of the game is mental.

In so many ways, when you're in college, you're even closer with the locker room than you are with a professional team.

I have a tough time beating around the bush and just saying something you want to hear. I kind of say it how it is, even if I don't realize that's maybe not what I should say at the moment.

It always gets you going when you get hit for the first time. It reminds you that you play football.

Joe Flacco

There's always that training camp feeling that comes back to you when you're getting ready to go.

Joe Flacco

No matter how well or how bad you play, when you have a chance of winning and you come up a little bit too short, it obviously hits you a little bit. It stinks.

Joe Flacco

You don't want to get to the point where you play out your contract and you get to those complicated situations where they can put the franchise tag on you and things like that.

Joe Flacco

Getting in field-goal range isn't that tough.

Joe Flacco

I just wanted to play baseball because I liked baseball. I never was giving up on football.

Joe Flacco

I'm never going to question myself or question the guys around me. We're just going to look at each other and we're going to look in the mirror and I'm going to tell myself and everybody that we have to get better, I have to get better.

Joe Flacco

There are guys out there that have got to make a living on hating on somebody.

Joe Flacco

It means a lot to me as a quarterback if my receivers think I'm a good quarterback. It doesn't really matter what everybody else thinks, but it means a lot to me when I feel like those guys trust me.

People are going to go out and do things after games and celebrate and do that kind of stuff. Everybody cannot be everywhere, and nobody can prevent crazy things from happening. Stuff is going to happen, and you've just got to deal with it.

Joe Flacco

I'm going to try to get my kid involved in golf and maybe try to get my kid to try to qualify for the PGA Tour. That's my dream.

Joe Flacco

I think as a play-caller, you have to just go out there, rely on your guys that you have that are out there, rely on the fact that they have ability. And as a quarterback, you have to go out there and just go through your reads.
