Why Joe Flacco Doesn't Deserve to be Top Paid QB in NFL
So let’s begin the argument by comparing him with the 1st player I named, Drew Brees. Not only has Drew Brees won Super Bowl MVP himself back in Super Bowl 44, but he’s also set, then broke his own passing records, passed for over 5,000 yards 3 times in his career, won NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and has led the Saints to being one of the top offenses in the entire NFL. Has Joe Flacco ever come close to accomplishing half of those performences? I think not.

NFL Rumors: New Orleans Saints Could Release Another Player
Ellis was a top 10 draft pick back in 2008 when the Saints took him with the seventh-overall pick. However, Ellis never lived up to his potential and with his rookie contract expired he most certainly will not be back with the Saints. With the Saints switching to a 3-4 defensive alignment Ellis does not seem to fit what the Saints want to do on defense.

Goodell: 'I'd Definitely Let My Son Ruin Football' | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

"If my son wanted to make a series of catastrophic rule changes that destroy everything people enjoy about football, there’s no question: Yes, I would let him do that," said Goodell, who argued that the value of defiling an American tradition far outweighs the risk of public backlash. "I myself have been ruining football for almost seven years, and nothing in my life has been more rewarding. I certainly would want my son to have the same opportunity to mangle and dilute the game that I did." Goodell added that, unfortunately, his two children are both girls, which means neither can ever be NFL commissioner.
