Thread: Joe Flacco is now a Bronco

It’s what they should have done last year, as well. I don’t really think the plan has changed. This probably signifies he doesn’t like the top quarterbacks in the draft. Maybe they’ll go after better quarterback classes in 2020 or 2021.

I think that's part of the problem. What QB in this draft is the long term answer that they can get at 10? Even worse, which guy is worth the draft capital needed to move into the top 5 to ensure you get him? Like I said, I think Flacco buys some time

True.

I like the post Coach made right before yours. He laid it out pretty good.

I don’t understand your point. Every year we, the fans, do this with some scrub, and wax poetic about how if the offensive line were only good, the quarterback would be good, and that’s just pure nonsense. Denver had a top 10 line last year. The problem wasn’t the line, it was the quarterback. And here we are doing the same thing with this quarterback.

You win when you’re quarterback is good all the time, not just when he’s not under pressure.

I like Murray a lot, but understand the risk involved there.

Maybe the plan is to have the wheels fall of Flacco in 2 seasons and end up with the #1 overall pick in 2021. I would be down with that. Trevor Lawrence for the win.

Love you some White, Greedy, or Murphy.

Trade for a middling QB to replace a middling QB.

Yay.

I do too, but we have enough real holes to not be able to take that risk.

Not likely.....defense won’t let it happen. You gonna have to sell the farm if Lawrence continues to play at the high level from last season.

I don't think this move changes the draft strategy at all. If Lock falls to 10 and Elway thinks he's the guy, he takes him and lets him learn behind Flacco for a year or cuts Flacco. He has no guaranteed money on his contract once the trade is completed. If not, you take a guy like Devin White and go after your QB in next year's draft. Personally I don't like the trade but I don't know what the end game is either.

Luck had some tough seasons behind shitty offensive lines.

My point isnt that Flacco doesnt need to be good all the time. The tweet only mentions that if Denver can give him some time (which if they are a top 10 Oline) he should be serviceable. In no way was i saying he doesnt need to be good all the time. Lmao

Worth it.
