Thread: Joe Flacco is now a Bronco

That is my whole point. Sean McVay and Les Snead are secondary to it. But you look at the way that players underperformed with Fisher and Shane was touting Fisher as this amazing guy who made all the pics.

NBC Sports’ Peter King, NFL insider Adam Schefter and ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio discuss what Joe Flacco brings to the QB position for the Broncos.

It was a lateral move at QB, we simply got a guy that throws harder lol

I guess we're solving the QB issue in baby steps. haha

"I spoke to an opposing head coach after that trade was made, and he said the Broncos 'stole' Joe Flacco — his word, not mine. And he will turn out to be the exact quarterback that they needed," Schefter said. "This guy is very good with quarterbacks, knows quarterbacks, and believes the Broncos stole a guy out of there that's really going to benefit their offense."

Rather than knee jerk reactions with the negatives, give Flacco a chance to prove himself an asset, or liability. Keenum was given that chance. Manning was given that chance. One was successful, and the other, not so much for the Broncos.

Yes, but that is an upgrade. Especially when our strength going forward is going to be our running game. The guy who had a noodle arm was getting stacked boxes which eliminated our strength and put the games on noodle arm's shoulder. In theory, HOPEFULLY we won't have a lot of games on Flacco's shoulders to win.

Adam Schefter talks to NFL GMs and Team Presidents and coaches almost every day (his words). This quote is the league position on Joe Flacco.

I still don't necessarily buy it. Flacco was playing well until he got hurt last year, but Denver really doesn't have a great OL and he's old and immobile.

As for whether he's better than Keesum, of course. Keesum was a one-year starter who had a career year for MN. Joe Flacco is a former SB MVP who has started almost every game for 11 seasons. There's no comparison.

Unless Mike Munchak is a miracle worker, this could get ugly fast. The key will be whether LT Bolles can learn to stop holding. Up till now his technique has been horrible, which is why he's holding so much. He uses bad technique, loses leverage on his opponent, and has to tackle him to prevent a possible injury to his QB.

If we can add a solid guard in the draft, stay healthy and get even a moderate improvement from the coaching of Munchak...then I think our line is capable of being top 10. Can't really ask for more than that without investing a huge chunk of your cap into it (Cowboys)

We'll see the results, but common sense-wise this acquisition was stellar. Makes me glad to see who posted this and who hi-fived it.
