Flacco wants $20 million

SloMotion · 01-29-2013, 05:38 AM

What is it with these guys and their egos before they accomplish anything? Flacco has been in my doghouse in the past for being an underachiever, but I give him credit for having at least one playoff win in each of his first five seasons, something even the 'great' Matthew 'Ice' couldn't accomplish (

) ... but not $20 million worth.

He's had Ray Rice & a pretty good defense to help him out along the way, don't get too greedy, Joey ... Baltimore's success hasn't been all you, eh?

A SB win would be a great bargaining tool.

How?
He's a slightly better version of Alex Smith.

Because it's all about winning a SuperBowl when you're an NFL QB. You can put all the stats you want and not win the big one or be painfully average and do, but without a doubt, getting that ring elevates you to a status above your peers.

For sure!

Yep, even Boomer agrees with the 'winning a SuperBowl' logic ... here he is lumping Stafford (Det), Ryan (Atl) and Flacco (Bal) all into the same category.

I want a flying car, like Flacco's 20 mil neither are going to happen any time soon

Well, Flacco has looked pretty good in the playoffs, BUT he has been immensely helped in that regard by the brilliant catches of Anquan Boldin, who has pretty much caught everything thrown at him.

Right now, only 4 quarterbacks deserve that much money.

Exactly..
And Joe Flacco isn't one of them even IF he wins a Super Bowl.
