If you're referring to the post Super Bowl deal, they're actually very different in terms of cap distribution.
Flacco's was low for a few years and ballooned to unreasonable amounts in the last few years. The idea was you get a discount early on to fill other needs and deal with the big hit later.
Luck's is fairly stable the whole life of the deal (his cap hit never strays more than $5m from the per year average).
