Thread: Joe Flacco is now a Bronco

Im not sure if its really up to any vet QB to hold the rookies hands no matter the position.

no but if the rookie reaches out, you should at least return the call its part of being a leader.....

But we dont know if Lamar reached out or not that is kind of my point. I mean, i live here and i heard nothing of any friction or issues between Lamar and Joe personally.

You should probably read the last line of the tweet again. Calm down.

Yea, it may be true but again rumors so im not going to go full blast on the guy when i dont really know the details. Like i said, Favre did the same thing and no one questioned his leadership abilities.

that's fair to each their own...just seen, heard, read enough over the years to be pretty pissed with the move...is what it is at this point.....

Man, do I love the overreactions in threads like this.

Remember when the people who opposed, vigorously, the Keenum deal? Or TS starting, either year? And proven to be correct? At this point people probably shouldn't give the benefit of the doubt to QB decisions being made.

Were you saying the same in the Keenum thread last year when all the "overreactions" wound up being right?

your welcome.....

I don't think Flacco is by any means a top QB.

I do however believe he will be a better starting QB for us then Case was.

The biggest thing for me is that as I said earlier, he has the ability to test the defense deep. That will help free up the run game.

We absolutely still need to keep looking for the future franchise guy though and as we have said for far too many years now, need to improve the line.

I just hope they will still be looking for a long-term answer early in the draft. I'm not sure if that's the plan or not, but it needs to be.

Another benefit to the Flacco thing is it buys time. With Flacco, at least you know what you're getting. It may not be great, but it is what it is and you can play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Surround him with a good defense and a good running game and you have 2 or 3 years to figure out exactly who the future franchise QB is. With Keenum, you had no clue which guy was going to show up. And now you don't have to force things by taking a questionable QB in round 1 this year, or even next year if you aren't completely sold on a guy.
