Quote:and despite qualifying for that many playoff appearances.. he still had to play for another contract..  Tom Brady or Manning.. or other QBs he's paid like, would not have had to do that.

 

I'm not saying he sucks.. he simply isn't worth the salary he gets paid, but that's the nature of the beast.  Good starting caliber QBs are hard to find so a lot of times teams are stuck having to over pay for some of them.  Still though, he should cut Moore a check or at least take him out to dinner.  His mistake (something that is drilled in your head from High School on) literally gave Flacco millions of dollars.

 

   Taking Joe Flacco out of the discussion,   I strongly agree with the following that you expressed:

 

 

   Good starting caliber QBs are hard to find so a lot of times teams are stuck having to over pay for some of them.

 

 

  The demand for good starting caliber QB's noticeably is greater than the supply.  Coupling with that with the ultra importance of the QB position on the NFL level,   agents and their good starting caliber QB clients,  have tremendous leverage in contract negotiations.
