Oh Ok, so the 'cost' you talk about is in terms of wins and losses not monetary cost. Well I guess an argument can be made on both sides of this regarding wins and losses. That could largely depend on who Ravens draft or what free agent they bring in. Seattle won early with young R. Wilson and the Ravens themseleves were a playoff team with a rookie Flacco and Denver did not do bad signing Manning, so this thinking that we have to have Joe no matter what the cost (monetary) is not true. If Joe was the kind of QB that could carry a team then maybe but Joe has to have real good players around him to succeed and in order to get that he needs to renegotiate that huge contract.
