Thread: If Brandon Allen Makes This Looks So Easy...

Manning had his chance in OT and went all Cutler with his Int.

How about Chauffeur Julio and the Countessa?

He outplayed PFM.

I never thought of that but you're right. Flacco parlayed that improbable SB win into a huge contract, and then threw 22 INTs in 2013. After that it was mediocrity from there on out -- until they got tired of his act in Baltimore and shipped him out.

And Elway being an egotistical idiot just swallowed the whole "Joe Flacco beat us 7 years ago! He's still in his prime!" I'm not sure how Joe Flacco in 2018 -- 12 TDs and 6 Ints = "in his prime!" But, whatever.

The whole think in retrospect is so strange. Nobody in the NFL was buying the whole Joe Flacco experiment. Elway has just doubled down and doubled down on a losing hand.

Why is Drew Lock not ever practicing? "They have a plan!" An Elway plan to start Lock in the last 2 games of the season!

Of course this will permit Elway to trot out Joe Flacco or some other veteran retread for 2019 because he's always in "win now!" mode and "Lock isn't ready!"

And he won't be given a chance to "get ready" either. Because that would commit Elway to the dreaded "rebuilding team" model he hates.

And he hates it because it clashes with his ego "I'm a winner!" He simply doesn't have the humility to admit "I have to start from scratch, learn from my mistakes and move on."

QB’s play well into their 40’s so saying Flacco was entering his prime was accurate ... from a certain point of view.

There is a case you could make for that, Flacco was 18 of 34 for 330 yds and 3 TD's. 70 of those yds were on the Rahim moore play including that 3rd TD......Peyton had had 290 yds and 3td's but threw 2 picks. Flacco's QBR rating was 65 and Peyton's 56. take away that last play and they are damn near even for QBR calculation.

Flacco basically heaved a ball in the air praying to the heavens....I'm not so sure outplayed is the right term. Beat Peyton yes, but he got lucky to do it.


Also lets not forget the lucky 59 yarder to Torrey Smith On Champ.....

What's really Funny is after Flacco got paid after he had his worst year in the reg season, followed by one of his top 2 years in reg season, then a 4 mediocre years up till now, which will be 5 counting this one.

Sure. I'm a lot older than that and I'm in my prime! That's what she said!

But, Joe's prime, 6 TDs 5 Ints in 2019, 2018: 12 TDs 6 Ints, 2017 his last full season: 18 TDs 13 Ints, 2016: 20 Tds 15 Ints.

It just don't get any more mediocre than that! He's the NFL version of the Mendoza Line.

And it's totally not true to say "Qbs play well into their 40's." Wrong. Tom Brady plays well into his 40's. Nobody else does though. Peyton Manning sure fell off a cliff and so did Eli. It's not looking like Phillip Rivers is going to "play well into his 40's" the way his play has declined this season. Flacco sure isn't going to be in the NFL at 40.

He might not find a team when he's 35.

Brady's just the freak outlier. Drew Brees at 39 might possibly play well into his 40's but he's not there yet.

This is John Elway’s plan, surely you’ve heard it from the horses mouth by now.

No, Fucco is more like an aging .250 hitter. The Mendoza line is for players who can barely keep a job.

Brian Hoyer could be the NFL's Mendoza Line.

in the last 100 years, 19 quarterbacks out of over 1000 played to the age of 40 or beyond. Only one person got “well into his 40’s” George Blanda at 48... was this a troll post? I am fine if it was because you have seemed more knowledgeable over the years than this statement indicates.

There. I've fixed it for you.
