Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
Ryan should not get Flacco money, but he probably will given how the Falcons overpaid him with his rookie contract.

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
To me its just the nature of the QB position to get paid big money. Ryan will probably get paid around same ball park, Stafford will probably get paid same ball park. Cam Newton in 2 years will get paid more than Flacco, it just is what it is.

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
He will get paid because they have to. There are too many mediocre QB's starting now in the NFL. Ryan is not as accomplished as Joe but if he is allowed to hit the market or is tagged it will cost them more to keep him.
I heard an interview with Ryan's agent. He made the comment that Matt deserves more than Joe, even though he has had a little less post season success.
A LITTLE????

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
Is ryans agent the same one that got sanchez 13m a year? Ryan will still have stats this year, but less wins. Hopefully his division have fiqured the falcons out. Falcons won some close games due to them scoring a field goal on the last drive. Against the 9ers though, a field goal would not have done it. Ryan choking in the same stadium that he calls home, spoke volumes.

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
Looking at the deal, it was more about respect for him and his agent than $. His deal is actually a 3 year deal, but the headlines read he is highest paid player, but not in reality and most of his contract is just fluff. It looks like a win win for the Ravens and Flacco. Waiting for his endorsement deals to start also. After 3 years, both parties will be at the table again, apparently.

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
I guess Flacco is just like every other QB who has an ego that needs to be satisified and I mean that in a good way.
As for Ryan, sadly he'll probably get a similiar contract. Below I think is just flawed thinking. The same author says "nobody blames Matt Ryan as the reason Atlanta doesn't have a championship". Really? Who's the blame? Ryan is part of the problem and will have to be part of the solution if they want to win a superbowl..SMH...what hyprocrisy. I'm glad Joe has his ring. Here's to a few more!!
They want to sign the quarterback to a long-term contract extension this offseason. The parameters already are in place. They’ll have to pay him like a champion.
They’ll have to pay him like Flacco

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
Matt Ryan hasn't won a Super Bowl, but his regular season production has been a lot better statistically than a lot of people might gather. He was awesome for my fantasy team last year.
If I were the Falcons, I'd lock him down to a contract. Maybe not to a Flacco contract until he wins the big one, but a significant one. Ryan's value is $15m a year minimum these days, and he probably would get $20m a year on the open market. If you think the Clevelands, Jacksonvilles, and Buffalos of the world wouldn't salivate over Matt Ryan taking the helm of their team and whip out their checkbooks, I think you're mistaken.

Re: Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"
Atlanta should start at 12m with escalators to make more depending on how far in the post season ryan takes them. Personally, playing in a dome helps ryan win in the regular season,but his choking in the post season is troublesome. Atlanta will need that no 1 seed to have any hopes of getting to the SB. I think other teams will defend better against ryan and his receivers amd they won't make post season. A lot of games in 2012 were too close agains average teams.
Didn't read or see espn about Flacco, but Joe knows what he can do and respect is nice, but does Joe really care? Common on, he really likes playing football and winning, something he is very good at.
