It's strictly off of what we have seen from him since 2014. He still has 9 game left in a wide open season and we have one of the easiest upcoming schedules, so it's definitely now or never. He may pull a Flacco and win the Super Bowl and force the teams hand on a long term mega deal.

I'd be lying if this thought didn't come to my mind as well. I have always said winning that Super Bowl set their franchise back for years. Is it worth it? Tough to say. I'd be really upset if we had to pay Bortles what Flacco got paid. Even if Bortles had an identical post-season to Flacco you can't let 4 games overshadow a whole career of below-averageness. They should've traded Flacco, but the optics on that move is really hard to justify to the fans.

I think a franchise who has never been to a SB much less won one would gladly take the Ravens problems.

I certainly would take a SB victory followed by a few years of playoff contention before the wheels start falling off lol

Sure you'd like a more sustained success, but honestly outside of Brady... no one wins 3 SBs in 4-5 years
