I just watched the elite Brees throw five INTs with another taken off for a defensive penalty.
Going by the fact every QB has a terrible day, I'm willing to bet the Ravens consider Joe a top 10 QB and will pay him based on that.
Yup, and Joe's worst day this year was a 1 td, 2 int game. Not even close to as bad as what Brees did tonight, or Matt Ryan a couple of weeks ago.Quote:

Arizona Cardinals
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
St. Louis Rams
Oakland Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs
Cleveland Browns
Philadelphia Eagles
Seattle Seahawks
Buffalo Bills
The Ravens aren't giving up their most successful QB in franchise history just to start over again because he struggled on the road this year. No way.

Arizona and Kansas City, Joe will never make it back to Baltimore if he hits the open market. I don't want to see the team let him go but I also don't want to see the cap bogged down by his contract, like Peyton Manning's did the Colts. Joe simply isnt the guy that can carry a team on his shoulders consistently.
There is no comparison to those two contracts though. Peyton got paid a ton, Joe won't get that.Quote:

Replace Titans and Seahawks with Vikings and Jets, and you're right on the money.Quote:

Moot point though. There is zippy chance of Joe hitting the open market. He's going to get his deal, and it will put him among the top tier of QB's in terms of salary, whether or not a handful of fans agree with it or not.
Nah, the Dolphins have Tannyhill. That kid is looking like he might be a keeper. Luck and RGIII are having great years but Tannyhill is showing that he belongs at the QB position.
What is a quarterback worth who has won 58 of his last 84 games - that's a 69% winning percentage. There is NO quarterback in the NFL who has won more games over the same period. If Joe were ever to hit the open market he would be snatched up in a heartbeat by any one of a number of QB deficient teams. Joe would be a Jet by the end of the first day of free agency!.

If you break the bank and pay him similar to Drew Brees, which I am sure his agent is aiming for, you don't have the money to put the talent around him that he needs to succeed. If you don't pay him your without a QB. Either way your not winning.Quote:
