I wouldn't have budged if I were the Ravens. I would have non-exclusively tagged him and then let him go for 2 1st rounders. That team is getting old and no one can convince me you can't find the next Joe Flacco.
Look, if someone had a gun to my head and said Flacco or Alex Smith I'm taking Flacco.
But would I rather have Alex for 2/15 or Flacco for 6/120? OMG. Alex 10 times out of 10. Flacco isn't going to win us a Super Bowl by himself just like Alex won't...both of them need elite talent around them plus luck to win the big one.
So **** paying a guy like that Flacco money.
