So tired of hearing this Flacco contract argument. He's getting paid what the average successful QB is getting paid. Romo is making $18 million, Kap is making $19 million, Cousins is making $20 million, Tannehill is making $20 million, Carson Palmer is making $25 million. Do you even know what a $10 million QB looks like? Here's your options (not on rookie deal): Ryan Fitzpatrick = $12 million RG3 = $ 7.5 million Chase Daniel = $7 million Josh McCown = $ 4.6 million Chad Henne = $ 4 million. Do you know what a crap shoot drafting a QB is without having a Top 3 overall pick?Johnny Manziel, EJ Manual, Geno Smith, Paxton Lynch, Christian Hackenberg, etc. In the last 4 drafts, 42 QBs have been drafted after the Top 3 picks - exactly 3 have made any impact (Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr, Dak Prescott). 3 outta 42! That's a 7% success rate. 7%! Those are not good odds to waste a 1st, 2nd or 3 round pick on.
Well Flacco is the 29th rank QB in QBR rating. Do you actually think he deserves $25 million a year? You don't get paid for what you did in the past, this is a what have you done for me lately league and lately the Ravens aren't getting what they paid for. They were better off putting that money elsewhere
