Some people have no concept of what the qb market is

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
Flacco's business is playing football and getting paid for what he has accomplished so far. Five years straight in post season play, more wins then any QB in his first five years, and great stats compared to others in that same time frame. The Sb will happen if the team he plays for has players to make it happen. Like Marsha's girlfriend said"he can'throw and catch it too". If the Ravens get outbid, can't blame Flacco for leaving. He surely isn't going to get a decent contract from the Ravens, according to the armchair coaches and know it alls that have been bashing Flacco for his bad games.I'm sure there have been plenty of elite QBs who have had bad games who are making big bucks. Time will tell after this year, hope the management gives him 100 million plus for 6 or 7 years with incentives. If not, hope management brings someone in that the armchair coaches like. Betting tghey will not only bash the new Qb but management also. Been a great 5 years with lots of twists and turns, but still better then most teams in the league. How about them steelers, great year for that team who has 6 SB rings.LOL

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
I did. And you answered none of my questions as to what is a "measurable" incentive that could take the contract up $28 million that isn't influenced by other players on the offense.
Again, none of that matters. There is no way the front office is stupid enough to throw that number out there. And if you want that contract, and you think that's "fair" for a QB that's gone to the playoffs every year he's been in the league, then you want Flacco to walk. There is no other way to justify it.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
NYJ? How would they afford him and anyone else to throw to when they're already paying Sanchez stupid money? Not likely to make the Jets better. Oakland? Not sure how the Palmer deal is structured, but if they still owe him significant money, same deal. Plus, let's be real--most dysfunctional franchise in football. Arizona? Maybe if they keep Whisenhunt--if not, it depends on who they get to coach, and that's the toughest division in football right now. Not likely to make the Cards a contender immediately in those circumstances. KC? Also in turmoil, and expecting a new coach, and in a division with Peyton Manning. Not likely to go places anytime soon. Buffalo? Same deal as KC.
Of that list, only Jax seems like it's in a weak enough division, and has enough cap space, that Flacco would walk in and have a pretty good deal overall. The rest of them have too many other issues for him to walk in and be a game-changer, IMO. YMMV.

Re: Joe 'Manned Up'
Prove it.
Teams have been offering ludicrous contracts to QB's who have proven nothing for years. Just look at the NFL draft.
Not only did the Cardinals give up draft picks for Kevin Kolb, but then they paid him a contract with a value of $65 million over 5 years...or roughly 13 mill/year on average. Are you REALLY willing to claim that Kolb was worth 13 mill per year...but Flacco is not?Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

The Jets make the playoffs this year with Flacco. Flacco even in his lowest year was never as bad on the field as Sanchez. Nor does he have the wins.
Yes, the Jets owe Sanchez 8.25 million next year. But that is for the Jets to deal with. Flacco still makes them better.
Oakland? Not sure how the Palmer deal is structured, but if they still owe him significant money, same deal. Plus, let's be real--most dysfunctional franchise in football.
Flacco I think can make them better, but not as much as Arizona or the Jets. I don't think that's the best place for him either.
Arizona? Maybe if they keep Whisenhunt--if not, it depends on who they get to coach, and that's the toughest division in football right now. Not likely to make the Cards a contender immediately in those circumstances.
All the places in question all have QB issues that make it all the more flummoxing that we're here in Baltimore arguing over Joe Flacco. And the FO has to know that. That's why he will get his deal here anyway, no matter what we think they will or won't do.
