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. 

Who cares why Ozzie made a bad business decision?

In the end, Ozzie ignored regular season Joe and paid him like the best QB in the NFL. The facts told Ozzie he was average for 16 games each year, he ignored it and paid him anyway. Ozzie could have franchised him for 2 years versus paying him top tier money for 7 years. You can keep defending the great Oz all you want, but his decisions post new CBA are biting the team in the rear on all fronts, you homer in you just will not allow you to see how the best GM in football has become a mediocre GM the past 4 or 5 years.
