I wouldn't call what the Ravens were doing Mediocre in his overall body of work. He certainly had his limits, but they made the playoffs frequently, won a Superbowl, and was in a couple other AFC Championship games. Since 2013, he has been mediocre though.
But since Manning left the Bronco's have not had mediocre play at QB. I agree that Flacco would need to have a bit of a bounce back, but I do think that he can play better than Case Keenum, and that with better coaching could be enough for the Bronco's to be that team who end up with 10 wins.
Now to be clear I'm not going out and better money on this, it's my odd ball prediction. Every year someone surprises in the NFL, and I'm guessing it will be the Bronco's who are better than people think.
