Agent thinks Flacco should be highest paid QB

[58_VONDOOM_92]

Just saw this on espn. I guess thats what happens when you get lucky and win a Super bowl.

I really do hope the ravens give him all this money cause I think it will bite them in the long run.

Of course he does, he's his agent. A bigger payday for Flacco means a bigger payday for him as well. It doesn't hurt that Flacco tied an NFL record for postseason TD's and I believe he didn't throw a single pick...oh yeah, to go along with that Lombardi trophy.

I doubt it happens but you can't fault his agent for trying.

[SBboundBRONCOS]

no way is he worth 20+

but obviously his agent is sayin that , its his job and pay day too.

why does he deserve more than Eli?

[ruksak]

As Chronic said....no news that an agent is vying for top dollar with any player.

Flacco...man I really like this guy, solid QB, smart, skilled etc etc....but I don't like this hyperbole. Nor do I enjoy this trend of SB winning QB's seemingly defaulting into top-dollar status after the win.

Brees, Peyton, Brady, Rodgers....these dudes earned top-dollar status through consistency over a number of years. Flacco is the Ravens franchise QB, granted. Flacco just won the SB, granted. Flacco had a tremendously consistent post-season, granted.

But I feel the $100 mil range is over the top considering his consistency over the course of a given season. This reeks of another Rob Johnson situation under the scope of a far greater financial burden.

At least the Broncos screwed the Ravens' salary cap.

"Get lucky" lol.... guy just had one of the best playoff runs ever. Sure he isn't worth #1 QB money but he's a good QB. And he doesn't play in a dink & dunk system so his stats are going to look a little worse than the top guys.

No, Joe Hail Mary Flacc-o just throws it up for grabs and has his WR corps make him look good.

U know, as ticked off as I am. Why does he not deserve it? Call it luck, ref's helping or whatever, but he's earned $20mil more than every other QB in the NFL. He owned the 2012 post-season. He outperformed Brady, Manning, Rogers, and any other QB u want to compare his numbers with. Dude earned it, anything else is just butt-hurt hate.

And you think he is as good as a qb that you listed above? Now if we see this from him next season and stays consistant then I would agree, pay the man.

This is how alot of franchises get screwed up by over paying players that played great in glimpses but never can stay consistant like a manning, rodgers, brees etc....as a bronco fan I hope the Ravens make him the highest paid QB out there

[GoManning]

Give him the cash. More pressure for him to perform at a high and consistent level. Guys like Reed will demand a high payday if they want to keep him.

[BroncoFanBoy]

I think he's just trying to get Flacco more money. He's not gonna get Manning money, I guarantee you that. Most I'd pay for him for a year would be 12 mil.

He did win Super Bowl MVP, but I will not put him in the same category as QB's like Peyton, Brady, or Rodgers. I think he just got hot at a really good time.

How much more consistent does he have to be? 5 years, 5 post-season appearances, a winning playoff record, 1 AFC championship, 1 SB victory, etc......... People need to stop raising the bar when good players progress. Post season wise he's been a better QB than Manning if you compare them in relative years, or now if u want. He's on pace to be one of the best post-season QB's and there's no reason to think he won't continue to win and keep his team a constant contender when he's on the field.

And talking about franchises screwing themselves by overpaying, lol!!! Maybe we should look in an orange mirror! Because its Manning, it's a safe check?

He got extremely lucky. His receivers probably bailed him out making amazing plays 10+ times over the post season. They were amazing... they deserve to get paid.

Exactly what I was thinking, almost word for word.

Will it happen? I have no idea. Do I think he deserves it? No. Highest paid QB should be the best QB. I know that's not how it always works out, though.

It's funny remembering what the fans were saying about Flacco after the regular season Bronco/Raven game. Things I can't repeat here.

[beastlyskronk]

Go for it Baltimore and then I'll laugh next season when Flacco looks bad because all his WRs aren't there to bail him out anymore.
