This year forward its where flacco proves he is worth the money. I think most qb's are over paid and I hope the trend ends when most of these new contracts don't pay off with wins because your average qb is pulling down super star money that could be spread around filling obvious gaps.

I think a lot of them are overpaid in the sense of what percentage of the cap their deal takes up, making it harder to put talent in place around them...but in reality if you don't have a decent QB, you aren't winning in this league anymore unless you have a monster like Peterson to carry you to a wild card round loss.

Yay, another chart for stupid people. You should throw QBR in there and call it a dayJust going to leave this here. Stats are first five years of respective careers.

There was a time in Carson Palmer's career when he was an absolute badass. After he was Von Oelhoffen'ed he started sucking. But you could not deny his play before then.
In three years, Andy Dalton will be topping many of the stats on the chart posted too - assuming he keeps it up. Especially TDs, regular season wins and total wins. Probably Super Bowl wins too.
Yeah and that chart doesn't include the amount of games each player needed to get to that point, Aaron Rodgers sat his first 3 years. Dan Marino missed 9 games in those first 5 years etc.
Everything impressive in that Flacco stat pic are team stats.
Until last year's playoffs, Flacco was an average quarterback bus driving a team with a dominant defense. He got hot and a little lucky (Denver game) for 4 games and rode it to a huge payday, nothing wrong with that.
But if he goes back to his normal stats of the previous 3 years (including the 2012 regular season) he won't be worth his contract.

Maybe when he throws for for 1k more yards than his running back rushed for and can manage to throw more than 6 TD that his running back ran for.

You do have to give Flacco credit for the TD to INT ratio and simply being as consistent as he has (along with being injury free) to pile up the amount of yards he has. No, he's never thrown for over 4,000 yards in a season, but he's consistently put up decent to good years. Agree he's getting paid on those 4 games, but if anything would give a guy confidence to step his game up, it's last year's playoffs by him.
Now frankly I don't know how he's worth his contract unless he's performing at that level game in and out and that's just too much to ask from anyone.
I'd rather have a QB like Flacco/Eli Manning who are pretty average during the regular season and then clutch as fuck in the post than Romo/Ryan who put up great regular season stats and can't deliver in the postseason (other than Ryan this last postseason)

Someone said it earlier, they are worth it because they fill the seats and sell merchandise and give their team hope. Other teams would pay them more and the teams that let them go would end up like the Jaguars trying to show the Redzone channel on the big board because they cant manage to fill the seats.
