Talk:Joe Flacco/Archive 1

Ancestry
Joe's mother is from an Irish family--her maiden name is Madden. His father is of Italian descent. So he's half Irish. The article says he is from an "Italian-American" family. That makes it seem as though his entire ancestry is Italian and that's not accurate.

Here's proof:

 * Flacco is 5/16ths Italian, actually. His paternal grandmother, Laura Flacco, was born Laura Wheeldon, to Madeline (Tartiglia) and Isaac Wheeldon. Laura's brother's obituary is here. Laura's mother was half Italian (see here). All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 06:19, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Categorization
You might find these guidelines helpful: Categorization, which says "Usually, articles should not be in both a category and its subcategory." and Categorization and subcategories, which discusses criteria for deciding when it's appropriate to use both a category and subcategory. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 19:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I suggest discussing this question at Category talk:Baltimore Ravens players. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 02:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Touchdown Run vs Bengals
Okay folks, it was a 38 yard touchdown run. Look at the news articles, look at the replays where they snap from the 38, etc. You're saying that because he has a total of 37 yards rushing, it was only a 37 yard run. That's incorrect. He has 4 attempts for 37 yards. All that means is when you add up the other 3 runs, he lost a total of 1 yard. For instance, if you run for 5 yards and get sacked for a 4 yard loss, you have 1 rushing yard. That doesn't mean you rushed for a long of 1 yard. Superman7515 (talk) 20:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

commentators were universally impressed by the throw and the read

Vandalism
Someone please take care of all the vandalism. I don't know enough about Wikipedia to correct it myself or check all recent versions for one completely free of vandalism, but I am PRETTY sure that he was never a female, and never a rapper. 68.63.64.51 (talk) 21:05, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Records/milestones
I added a section for Flacco's NFL records, as a lot of other players have similar sections, even ones that have accomplished less. I thought about adding a section for his franchise records, but it would basically just be a list of his current stats, so I'm not sure how much of a point there is in a bullet list. Any thoughts?

The record of most regular season wins in five seasons at 54 is wrong. Matt Ryan has 56, which leads me to believe there may be another quarterback with a higher record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.109.70 (talk) 21:32, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Once the Superbowl is over, a privileged editor needs to add Flacco's record for the most postseason TD passes in NFL history (he currently has 11). Coolheelz (talk) 01:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

3rd and 29
The article states that Rice converted a 3rd & 29 against the Chargers in the 2012 season but it was actually a 4th & 29. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.66.237 (talk) 20:32, 9 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Good call.   Mbinebri   talk &larr; 23:10, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Photos
The photos on Flacco's page are bad and outdated. If someone could find a free use photo of him with the Lombardi, or him during the 2013 or 2014 seasons, I think that would significantly improve this page. Tonyarnold2 (talk) 06:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Suggest revising the lead
Can we please change the lead paragraph to mention his title and Super Bowl MVP award? This is clearly the most significant achievement and should be thusly prominent in his article.InformationvsInjustice (talk) 04:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

The United States Military Academy football team is not referred to as "The Corps of Cadets", this should be "Army West Point Football". The Corps of Cadets is the entire student body of the United States Military Academy. Callen1964 (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Joe Flacco
He is now on the Denver Broncos and was traded by the ravens for a fourth round draft pick. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.144.62 (talk) 20:32, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No, not officially, he's not. The trade is not official until the NFL's new league year begins at 4PM ET on March 13th. Until that time, he is still officially a Baltimore Raven. Striker force Talk 14:59, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Should we hide the Broncos section that says he will be traded until the trade becomes official? Jusgtr (talk) 04:58, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
