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???

Yep
Ozzie pays him 24 million more than the great Aaron Rodgers or 8 million a year more and Ravens fans loved (love) his contract.
BTW, it also twice what the Bengals paid AD as Katie and MB got ahead of the contract early versus being late like Ozzie did with Flacco, T. Smith and others.
