Is Joe Flacco really that much better than Matt Ryan?

I've been checking out both teams' forums and other sporting news sites.

The conensus appears to be that Flacco will indeed get $20 million a season, while Ryan should (and might) get $13-15 million a season.

Those numbers were taken from the falcon fans on their forum.

Is Flacco really that much better because of the post season wins? Would you take Flacco on your team over Matt Ryan?

if the falcons get ryan for 13-15M per and the ravens are stupid enough to pay flacco 20M per, the falcons are HUGE winners

I would take Flacco as well. But its close.

Flacco has a better defense, offensive line, and RB. Ryan has the best WR's/TE in the league.

In no world is Flacco worth $7 million more than Matt Ryan.

Today. Yes. He wins. He is one completion away from playing in two straight super bowls. Say what you want about him, but he wins. That is the ONLY thing that matters.

So, because Rahim Moore made one of the worst plays of the season, Flacco deserves $5-7 million more than Ryan?

I'm not talking about money. I would not pay him 20 million, no.

I was just addressing the part about taking Flacco over Ryan, which I would because of the wins.

Again, never said how much money I would pay him. I said I would take Flacco over Ryan.

I will say that if I am the Ravens, there is no way in hell I am letting him go.

Many Falcon fans believe Ryan will take less money to help out the franchise.

Wishful thinking or is Ryan a good guy who'll sacrafice his future for the team?

Wishful thinking. And it's not a judgment against Ryan's character. It's just business.

BTW, I'll take Ryan over Flacco any day of the week.

Flacco is at least worth $7 million more than Matt Ryan. But, only because Ryan's worth is right around league minimum.

This. I hate the Falcons as much as anyone, but he's a better QB.

I think we have seen Matt Ryans full potential.

I also think Joe Flacco has yet to reach his full potential.

Id take Flacco.
