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.
