And, unfortunately for the Ravens, it came just when they had to negotiate a new contract. At the time he had 9 playoff wins in just 5 seasons, and I am sure they were thrilled to lock up a QB who could perform like that in the postseason.
He only made the playoffs one more time in the 7 years since then and just won one game.
Agreed. I think people really go overboard in ragging on Flacco and the Ravens for that contract. I can't quite imagine Burrow tearing through the playoffs, hoisting the Lombardi, and being a SB MVP in his 5th year and Bengals fans demanding that Mike Brown let him walk in free agency.
