IMO, this is stupid. Flacco isnt worth this much and how are the Ravens going to put more weapons around him to win more Super Bowls?

LOL at the Ravens

Jebus, that seems stupid to me as well.

Ouch. That's a lot of money to dole out for one month of elite QB play. I guess time will tell on this one, but if I was a Ravens fan I'd be a little queasy. I just don't think you can count on Flacco to carry a team. I've seen him disappear too many times in the regular season to have much confidence in him. As long as he's backed by a strong defense and running game then maybe it works out, but what's the Ravens D going to look like next season missing as many as four starters from the 2012 defensive unit (Williams, Lewis, Ellerbe, and Krueger)?

They did this for a guy who was a question mark until the playoffs? Even as other teams are restructuring crazy contracts to free up cap space? Makes sense...
