Thread: Joe Flacco is now a Bronco

Maybe he has someone targeted next year, I don't know, I just refuse to believe that Flacco is his answer for the next 5-10 years

I should clarify: I don’t think he drafts a quarterback at 10. And for the record, I don’t think Flacco is the one year answer let alone 5-10. Clearly Elway disagrees with me on the short term, and he’s the GM and I’m just some yahoo on the internet.

I think it depends on who falls more than anything.

Before Pat got sidelined with his illness his goal was to get back to the SB and compete for Championships. He never said how he felt how it should be done, just that he wanted the Broncos to be in the mix. Since Elway has come back we have done just that by any means necessary. Flacco is just another part of that, whether you agree or disagree with how the team is going about that you cant argue that Denver isnt trying. Sure, i would love to find the QOTF like most people on here but i cant argue that Denver and Elway arent living up to what they promised they would do. 2 SB appearances with a Championship has proven that already.

Thank you North.

Like in 2004 when the press asked Shanahan what he would do if Plummer wasnt the answer for Denver at QB, he said "Then we'll find someone who is."

His numbers are putrid? I don't think so, they seem to be consistent.

Consistently putrid

Some folks here will take a boot in the face from me when they try and jump on the wagon in Oct

My take: He's not going to be as bad or good as people think. He is an upgrade over Keenum - that's what we needed.

My take. He's going to be every bit as bad as Keenum.

No, not from what I've seen.

i hate that we're committed to flacco at QB for the next twelve years. . . really, what is john thinking?

Exactly. He doesnt need to be PFM 2013

If he's truly in his prime John should sign him to a 5+ year commitment now before the price goes up!

Ask Cugel, you should always sign guys a decade early to get 'em cheap!

Damn, and I thought his contract was for three years.

Highly doubtful, ive seen a lot of Ravens games and he isnt anywhere near as bad as Keenum. I mean shit, just in the last two years Keenum has been surrounded by better talent than Flacco has.
