Hell, here he is getting blamed for only being able to produce one game winning late 4th quarter drive (not 2) in his first 5 losses...

Who has he been passed by with a weaker resume? The cap number has increased and the contracts after his are easier on the cap for guys like Newton and Ryan. The Ravens paid him like he was going to be Brady or Rodgers, and he has failed to produce on their level, that is the issue. You can't pay a guy top tier money when he isn't on that top tier. He is good, but he isn't going to do it alone. It was an overpay, and that cap hit is clear when you see them struggling to place skill players around him. 

His cap hit in 2016, 2017, and 2018 is actually higher then Aaron Rodgers.

Flacco cap hits: 2016 - 28.55
                        2017 - 31.15
                        2018 - 24.75

Rodgers cap hits: 2016 - 19.25
                           2017 - 20.30
                           2018 - 20.90  


The Ravens are paying more, for less, and you think he doesn't get credit???
