It's not easy to find a QB as good as Flacco, when you do, you do what it takes to keep him. If it makes it more difficult to build the rest of your team, so be it, its better than having a lot of cap room but no QB.

With the way the NFL salary cap is set up, it won't be too difficult for Baltimore to remain competitive throughout Flacco's deal. Besides, I'm sure he will restructure his deal a few times like most big money QB's in his position do.
