Per Espn: "Flacco says he feels respected with new deal"

[lovefootball]

He will get paid because they have to. There are too many mediocre QB's starting now in the NFL. Ryan is not as accomplished as Joe but if he is allowed to hit the market or is tagged it will cost them more to keep him.
I heard an interview with Ryan's agent. He made the comment that Matt deserves more than Joe, even though he has had a little less post season success.
A LITTLE????

Is ryans agent the same one that got sanchez 13m a year? Ryan will still have stats this year, but less wins. Hopefully his division have fiqured the falcons out. Falcons won some close games due to them scoring a field goal on the last drive. Against the 9ers though, a field goal would not have done it. Ryan choking in the same stadium that he calls home, spoke volumes.

Speaking of all that money Joe got, too bad he isn't a pitcher. The Yankees would have given him more. Mussina made almost as much 13 years ago. He got $88M contract and for 6 years and that was a lot more money than it is now.

Joe said on TV that the money gives you the freedom to do some things you normally wouldn't but only espects to do 1 or 2 things differently with the money. Betcha he buys a Jet like Farve and a huge gym and workout center in his back yard like Cal and Mussina. When Farve signed with the Jets TV showed him landing in his plane but Rice said Joe is a conservative guy and doesn't spend much other than taking his blockers out to dinner and buying gifts for them. I remember when Joe signed his first contract for about $2M-$3M pr yr first thing he bought was a Escalade while he was still on campus.

If you were worth 20 million and just LED your team to a Super Bowl Championship, it's first in twelve years no less, only to be offered four million less than what you were worth for your services, wouldn't you feel disrespected?

I don't think Joe felt insecure, at least not about his abilities. I think it's more about being appreciated for the work he's done, and being compensated fairly.
