Josh McCown isn't a saviour, hes just a solid QB, the perfect backup, but can still play well. Even if you say this run is a total fluke, Josh McCown's 3 seasons that he played significant QB before this season are:

11TDs, 10INTs, 59%
9TDs, 11INTs, 60%
10TDs, 11INTs, 58%

So...pretty much exactly what you're getting from Joe Flacco right now. Except for $3 million a year (if that). As to great message to send, well how about the fact Peyton ####ing Manning got released. One of the top 5 QBs ever...released. That's 50 times more egregious in terms of disrespect than not giving a top 15 QB top 2 QB money. Respect is nothing in the game where no contracts are guaranteed.

And as a Viking fan I'm sure now you're wishing they went with Matt Cassel from day 1. Is he great? Not a chance, but a solid veteran who knows the game, combined with a good team around him, can win in this league. It doesn't take spending $20 million on a QB if he's worth $10 million.
