I think he's a guy that when he gets hot can be really good, but I think he's too much of a product of what's around him for me to pay him that much. |

It means you let your aging players walk and replace THEM with draft picks. What you guys are suggesting is that you sell your horse (or let someone less have it for free) so that you can upgrade your cart because you can pull it with a donkey. |

If you pay said borderline qb that much you essentially have to hit draft pick after pick with potential eliteish level players. That's a lot to ask. |

While I wouldn't ever argue that Flacco is at the same level as the elite guys, he proved he could be a superbowl MVP with "b talent" around him on offense. Right now, Alex Smuth is surrounded by "b level talent" and isn't doing anything confidence inspiring and is getting 11+ million this year. |

And Boldin is a b wr now, but didn't play like it int he playoffs. Flacco got hot at the right time. Is that potential worth making him the 2 highest paid qb in the league? Time will tell. |

They sure as **** aren't AJ Green or CJ quality players, thus they are in the next tier.
I think Bowe is just as good or better than either of them...if given a similar QB situation. |

It's just an interesting talking point about team building.
Like someone else brought up, if Alex smith had a flacco type run this year and we win a sb, would you give him 20mil$? I sure wouldn't. |

Flacco used that to his advantage, and without Boldin, he would likely be getting paid a shit ton less. Personally, there's no way in hell I'd have given him that money, and I think he's well on his way to proving it was a bad investment.

Flacco is a scattershot in terms of accuracy, but can hit more deep balls. So get a big speed wr to go get it, Torrey smith. |

Actually, that's exactly what this article is discussing. The merits of winning with "overpaid b level guys" or going to battle with guys like Alex Smith that won't offer you as much, but are cheaper.

But, as I see it, we are looking at levels. Rodgers, Brady and Manning are here. Eli is here Flacco is here And Smith is here. That level just above Smith is not worth the price paid, and Smith isn't worth 11 mil.

Bit that brings in a good point. If you put enough premier talent around a guy like smith, which guys like his salary allow you to do, will he gap between those guys and the flaccos be that great? I dunno, but it's interesting. |

I don't know that I put Eli that high right now though. But I agree on everything else.

I can't put him on the same level as the elite guys, but I also won't dismiss his history and drop him to a level equal to Flacco.
