OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh was not in the mood to revisit his declaration that Joe Flacco is the "best quarterback in football."

Harbaugh touted Flacco after Saturday's wild-card win at Pittsburgh, and he was asked about his statement Tuesday.

"I said it. I meant it," Harbaugh said. "What more is there to say about it? You want me to explain it? You guys make your opinions, I'll have my opinion. I'm entitled to my opinion."

Flacco has been a middle-of-the-pack quarterback statistically in the regular season, but he has been outstanding in the postseason.

He is 10-4 in the postseason, including seven playoff wins on the road -- two more than any other quarterback in NFL history. Over his last five postseason games, Flacco has thrown 13 touchdowns and no interceptions while earning Super Bowl MVP.

"It obviously means a lot for a head coach to stand up in front of the whole world and say those kind of things," Flacco said. "Whether it really means anything, I don't know. But it definitely means a lot to me."

Harbaugh later elaborated on why he likes Flacco as his quarterback.

"Joe is very talented," Harbaugh said. "He's got a great arm. He's a very good athlete. He's a big, strong guy in the pocket. He can make any throw. He's mentally tough and physically tough. He's going to compete every day."
