Stephen A. Smith went off on Gronk.

Yeah I think they will make him the highest paid player. I keep hearing people say they should just franchise him, but I thought that you cant use the tag on a guy 2 years in a row. If Flacco has another good year on the tag next year he could just walk and they would be fucked.

All the partying he does.Theres a new video of him on stage at a club bodyslamming a friend and he falls on his broken arm.
I assume for his latest drunken adventure aka wrestling on top a bar. Vince should do something with gronk like wcw did with karl malone and jay leno and dennis rodman

Tag actually might not be a bad idea. Ideally you don't want to draw up a contract for a player at the peak of their career. I don't think Flacco will have as great of a season as he did this year what with winning the Super Bowl and SB MVP. I also don't think the quarterback market won't be so awful next offseason so that should decrease Flaccos leverage.
The fanbase would kill their owners if they did not pay Flacco after this season. The Ravens have nowhere to go but down and if they don't pay Flacco the blame will fall on the ownership. If you pay Flacco then the blame will fall on him for not living up to his contract. Just make it so that he gets most of the money in bonuses and in the first 3 years so if it doesn't work out they can Dilfer him.
I was thinking about that last play for the Niners in the morning and man did they fuck up on that play. The Ravens came at them with an all out blitz and if the Niners reacted corrected it should have been a really easy TD. No one on the Niners seemed to see what was obvious to about 50 million fans and Kaep was forced to throw up a prayer (and as prayers go it was decent, the throw was horrible but at least he had the sense to get it up). TMQ hates all out blitzes and an all out blitz won the SB. Granted they usually work a lot better against green qb's. Experienced qb's eat that shit up. I think Smith would have scored a TD on that play, but would not have been able to bring the Niners back.

Just some things I'd like to add...
The Redskins hadn't won three games in a row since 2008.
The Redskins hadn't won three NFC East games in a row since 2005.
They were just 3-12 on Monday Night Football since 2000.
The Skins had lost four-straight Monday night games against divisional opponents.
And... They hadn't won a Thanksgiving game against Dallas at home..., ever... I think.

That list is unbelievable. It's crazy how good of a season RGIII and Wilson had.

They just let people rush the field. They were playing uncensored Watch The Throne, but just switched mid song to Chicago: Sweet home Alabama. Lol

Flacco has the same amount of playoff wins, super bowl victories and super bowl mvps as Peyton. And hes 8 years younger.

And you can't really say he pulled a Dilfer, either. He was a key player in their playoff run this year (and in many of their playoff wins in recent years).

lol Romanowski killed Randy Moss
He also doesnt have a 1 and done yet like Peytons who had 3 at this point in his career

These are things we already know, or at least I do. I've said it forever that the reason Flacco has as many Playoff wins as he does, or as many regular season wins as he does is everyone except him. At least that was the case the first four years of his career (playoffs only, in this case). The first three years, we won despite him in the playoffs, and last year, he was pretty ok. People like to say he outplayed Tom Brady last year in the game, but fact is, you hold the #1 offense to 2 TDs, you win the game. Except we didn't. If your point is that Joe Flacco has had an inflated playoff record, and therefore an inflated value, due to the rest of our team, you'd be right....until this year's playoffs.
Come on Squicken, this is me, BaltimoreLarry, I hate Joe Flacco, remember? I think he had a very average year all year long. I've shit all over him even after his best games, but give credit where credit is due. Joe Flacco was the best QB in the playoffs this year, and put up one of the best playoff lines as a QB ever. He's the anti-Matt Ryan, and this year he was elite when it mattered.
If you're making the case that Joe Flacco is not an elite QB and doesn't deserve to payed like one, you're right. But he was elite during these playoffs, he did just bring us a ring, and he will get payed. I'm no fool, this will tank our franchise for five years, unless Ozzie can pull some magic (which he can), or if Joe might actually turn into 75% of what he was in the playoffs, which would be a very good QB.
Just answer me this, why does Joe Flacco make you so mad? I know why he makes me mad, but it definitely seems like you take real issue with him.
Fraudgers is not going to be in the league much longer so I am pretty excited at seeing the two of them pair up. Separate they are two of the biggest cornballers the league has ever seen. But combine them together and it will be like getting Chris Berman and Dan Dierdorf in their prime AT THE SAME TIME. I hope CBS pays these guys what they are worth.

So Ryan and Flacco came into the league the same year and Ryan wound up signing for 6 years while Flacco only signed for 5. Ryan gets $10m in 2013. Ryan must have the worst agent in all of sports. That extra year is going to cost him like $10m this off season.
God I hope you're right.
I usually am.
Maybe two more seasons with the Packers. After that the fans will revolt and they will trade him to Oakland or Cincinnati where he will quit on his teams and be on the fast track to being in a booth with RGIII.
So are you denying that flacco put us in position to win twice last year at the end of the game? He lead us down the field with ease both times. Sure he shit the bed against the texans but the New England game last year was anything but his fault b
An improved Ryan Leaf model? Sure! Hope they fixed his core processor. Ryan Leaf with a Tegra 3 would probably be pretty bad ass.
Tegra 4 man. Get with 2013.

Don't have a full list for Luck, but from Wiki:
I agree with bionic, though--a lot of records are meaningless.
TT would never spring for that, I'm being realistic.
I don't disagree. I only requested it because I wanted to understand the accomplishments of all three rookies, as opposed to being an uninformed idiot. lol

I think Ryan gets a new contract before this season anyway.

I will be really interested to see how the Falcons handle things. The Ravens basically made Flacco go out and earn his contract, and he definitely did.

It'll be about trying to clear some cap space on the front end with a new deal, if one gets done. That's my take anyway.
We actually need to move some money around this year, even with Tony and Turner coming off the books. And, yes, it's a foregone conclusion that Turner is getting cut.
There's the issue of Grimes for one. If he's 100%, he's going to get offered a dumb contract by some team out there.
LT will be interesting because Baker played well this season, although he performed badly in the second half of the NFCCG. Clady and Long are both going to be FAs though.

I think we keep Baker. McClure is gone so either Konz or Hawley will take his spot at center and the other will be at RG.
Turner is as good as gone.
Defensive line needs the most work, IMO. Babs always plays above his head and Abraham (when healthy) still has something left in the tank. Just need a good to great DE opposite of Abe and a big body to go next to Babs.
