Aaron Rodgers signed a deal several years ago, and hadn't done much yet, so his contract isn't a good comparison. Brady and Peyton are both on their last deals. Flacco has 1 SB win, been to the playoffs every year (should have been to the SB last year, but for two fluke plays not on him). He is 28, and entering the prime of his career. And finally, all those contracts are at least 1 year old (not counting Brady's cap extension), he certainly should expect that he will be in the same ballpark, and had he had a bust of a season, the team would certainly have expected him to take the lower end of franchise qb money. He didn't, and he has the confidence knowing that he will get at least franchise tag money, and he should be pushing for every penny he can get.

Strike while the iron is hot, and it doesn't get much hotter than a AFC championship playoff game 2 years ago, followed up with a SB winning performance this year.

Should we franchise freezer dolls or give them large multi-year deals?

Mind you, I don't think Smith was the sole reason for his failures. It mostly had to due with his surroundings and changing coaches every year. Still, you are expected to produce in this league. "No excuses" is the phrase I hear all too often.




As noted prior, Mark Sanchez reached the NFC championship twice. Would you give up a 2nd rounder for him?



Besides, who is really in the market for Alex Smith? Buffalo? Cardinals? Chiefs? (can't add Jets due to their salary cap) I simply don't think the demand is out there enough to warrant a 2nd rounder. Also, not many teams pursued him when he was a free agent last off-season.

I'm with you, guess we'll see but I've always thought he was a bad QB and he's literally had 1 good year his entire career. So did Jason Campbell

I'd take Flacco over Eli's streaky ass. After 9 years Eli still throws passes I would expect from a rookie.

[NC_Skins]

Anybody saying they'd take Flacco over Eli is either high as **** or they've bumped their head recently. It's not even close.
