Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was sharp in Baltimore's 44-13 win over Cincinnati on "Monday Night Football." He guided the Ravens' no-huddle offense with efficiency, completing 21 of 29 passes for 299 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. And he showed more accuracy throwing the deep ball, connecting on 7 of 10 passes of 15 yards or more. It was just one game, but the question is worth asking: Has Flacco emerged as an elite quarterback? Do the Ravens now have an offense to go with their formidable defense?

• born2rock1:"They finally cut Flacco loose and let him have more control with the offense by going with a no huddle which allows Joe to call more audibles. What took so long? Oh, we didn't have Jim Caldwell. The guy that worked with Peyton Manning and his no huddle offense. Not that Joe is going to turn in to a Peyton Manning, but it does mean that the Ravens are going to have a different, and a better look, on offense. I seen this coming in pre-season. If the Ravens are consistent with this offense, there are going to be a lot of W's for the Ravens this year."
• Brad_The_Stud:"Simmer down. The Bengals are not a team to be impressed with. Flacco still is very average."
• CagedWisdomChangedMyLife:"I don't wanna hate on Flacco because he looked really good last night. I've always looked at him as a "just outside the top 10" QB in this league. But when you bring up names like Brady and Manning, you're talking about guys that made receivers we never heard of look like stars. I think Caldwell is going to help Flacco get to that next level, but lets not jump the gun. Right now he's good, not great."
• RexysMidnightRunners:"TA good win for the Ravens and well done to them. But one win against an average Bengals side does not mean they are ready to walk into Foxborough in the snow in January and knock off Brady and the Pats. Perspective is important."
