Franchise quarterback Joe Flacco signed a three-year contract extension worth $66.4 million with $44 million guaranteed in March. With this level of financial commitment, Flacco is not in any danger of being replaced as the signal caller and marquee player of the Baltimore Ravens in the foreseeable future. However, his performance will determine the direction of the franchise in 2016 and beyond.
In all honesty, Joe Flacco did not have a good season last year. Through ten games, Flacco threw 14 touchdowns compared to 12 interceptions while posting the worst QBR of his career and leading the team to a 3-7 record.
