He's freakishly tall, big armed and not good at football. I'm imagine Elway is now celebrating with a 46 ounce steak and a Coors, shaking his head in wonderment that he found a guy who checked off all his boxes.

Cas Stark Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 weird, but then I'm still surprised that the no arm Peyton Manning was able to win another superbowl, I think Flacco is better than Manning with no arms, but I can easily be wrong about that. Elway should quit while he's still ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantw Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I assume the thought process was, "Well, Case Keenum is all right. Surely we can do worse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @Jaime L need to partner up for a comedy act. He set me up with a good chuckle and you fucking slayed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys laugh at Elway now, but when he trades for Matt Stafford in two years, you'll all be... Laughing at him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 A 4th round pick is pretty much a sign that nobody thinks Flacco is the answer. He's a patch. Denver is still drafting a QB IMO, in the first round. And yes, they'll be dropping Keenum like the bag of hammers he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 A 4th round pick is actually WAY too much to give up for him. I think Antonio Brown is only worth a 3-4th rounder, and he actually has value. Flacco has no value. Have they confirmed it's one of the Broncos' two 4th rounders yet or is everyone still just assuming it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can announce the exact details until the trade is finalized, so the 4th round pick is just the rumor based on Shefter's "mid round pick" comment. And I agree that a 4th round pick seems like too much for Flacco. He has three more years of his contract and is grossly overpaid. I think the Broncos just traded away a valuable pick in order to make their salary cap much worse. And for what? Even if Flacco plays as well as he ever has, that team is still nowhere near taking the division from the Chiefs and Chargers. It's a very questionable move.

Antonio Brown is first round talent with a 50-cent head. Flacco hasn't the talent but if nothing else, he's a role model with a history of winning and a great attitude. The Broncos' cap situation seems pretty safe to me. Especially without Keenum and Brandon Marshall. Even better if they restructure Emmanuel Sanders.

I think you mean he has a history of being on a team that had like 5 All Pros and Hall of Famers at every level on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His history is 163 games, not 51. And yes, all you get from him is the knowledge of how winning teams play. Not how he personally carried teams to victory. This is valuable.

DMC Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I really don't think his knowledge has any value at all. Certainly not enough to pay him $18.5 million next year, and 20.25 and 24.25 the next two years - although it's important to emphasize the Broncos can release with no cap hit during the offseason(s). You can find old vets with comparable experience for much cheaper. Minimum wage, really. And they can still play that roll in the locker room if you think that makes a difference (I'm not sure it does). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, are you saying the Ravens have been allowed to play with 30 guys on defense all this time? No wonder they've been so dominate. It sounds pretty savage, but that is the Jace's wont.

Elway had one, and I'm sure watching Tebow and Peyton's noodle arms have severely scared him. He was having a PTSD moment when he placed the call for Flacco.

And Emmanuel Sanders. And Chris Harris Jr. And Derek Wolfe. Are you seriously suggesting Joe Flacco, who attended minicamp for the first time in fucking years only after the Ravens took a QB in the 1st to replace him, is some kind of leader of men who can transcribe a winning culture like Joe Montana or something?
