But, he was mediocre in the regular season prior to Ozzie giving him a huge and I mean huge contract. Ozzie rewarded average and no disputing that now.
I was under the impression that he rewarded top tier playoff performance. Let's say Peyton Manning isn't intercepted by Corey Graham in overtime. The Broncos go on to win 38 to 35. Is Flacco offered $20m a year? If the answer is "no", and it is, then we can agree that your statement "Ozzie rewarded average and no disputing that now" is false.
Reports say that Ozzie offered him $15m at the start of 2012. I think it's safe to say that the Super Bowl, not the regular season, raised that to $20m.
