John Elway comments on KOA interview: https://koanewsradio.iheart.com/cont...o-free-agents/

On Flacco:

I like his ability, he's 34 years old coming into his prime. He has had a lot of success. He's a better athlete than people think, he can move around. He brings the total package.

On Juwon James:

He solidifies our right tackle position. He's very athletic. He'll continue to get better. We have an anchor at right tackle for at least the next 5 years. He's a physical guy. He'll be a good guy in the locker room.

On the free agent process:

Free agency takes care of big holes so we aren't chasing players in the draft. With the draft picks we have we can take best player available.

Previously they had a brief interview with John Harbaugh and his comments on Flacco:

The Broncos are getting a hard worker. He's a strong competitor, a guy who loves football. He can throw the ball. He fits the broncos offense really well. he's got plenty left. He is deceptively mobile.

Another interview he says the same thing.

Fangio is the equalizer here, no more VJ bullshit and he alone would have been the differwnce the last two years. I cannot emphasize how badly i believe he dragged this team down. And yes, Elway has to answer for that, and after this coming Season i believe he has.

Elway was 37 when he won his first. Brady just won one at 41. Manning was 39 when he won with the Broncos.

Not saying Flacco is going to do the same, but having an experienced QB who has been successful in this league is valuable, and "being in your prime" means you're a student of the game and you've seen just about everything a defense can throw at you while still possessing the physical abilities to preform.

Some people think that all Denver ever does is move from one short term quarterback to another.

I get your point about age. However, the evidence the last 4-5 years supports exactly the opposite. It shows a declining player, with mediocre production, who hasn't played very well at all the last 5 years. I see nothing about Flacco the last 5 years that shows he is in his Prime. Its worrisome that Elway said this, but I think its just GM speak, if he does believe it were in trouble because we could see something stupid like a 3 year extension before the season or something and be in trouble long term yet again....

I'm gonna have to see some actual play before I'm sold...Keenum said and did all the right things when he got here too, that didn't transform him from a mediocre QB into the guy for the job.

So if Flacco is “just coming into his prime” maybe they should sign Steve DeBerg to mentor him.
