Big mistake Ravens... he isn't worth being the highest paid QB in the league. Yes, yes, he won the Super Bowl... But does he really warrant more money than Payton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, etc? Absolutely not. Without Ed Reed and whatever inspiration Ray Lewis brought, that team is screwed.

This makes as much sense as making Big ben the highest paid QB for winning a super bowl.
Joe Flacco as much as I like the guy didn't throw the team on his back and "will" them to win. He had lots of help.

Good for him but I think this was a big mistake on Raven part

Welcome to cap hell, Ravens!

Well, that was a short run.

Absolutely ridiculous. By the time the Saints' next franchise QB comes around (if we're fortunate enough to get another) he'll want to be paid about 300 million. 120 million plus, for Flacco? The guy who can barely complete 60 percent of his passes in a league that basically GIVES you completions and hopes to avoid the huge plays?

The whole market value thing is BS, as it is. Now you don't even have to put up comparable numbers to the elite QB's. You just have to be a QB on a winning team, and you automatically get to be the highest paid player.

Somewhere Trent Dilfer is crying he was born 10 years too late.That 2001 Ravens teams would destroy last years team.

There is reward and there is lunacy. Wow!

Whoops! Flacco is okay, but "the highest-paid QB in NFL history" and "Joe Flacco" should never be in the same sentence.

Or the same paragraph.

Or the same book.

Or the same LIBRARY!

Oh. My. Goodness. That is one of the most ridiculous overpayments I've ever seen.
