tiamat63 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Didn't see that coming. Not sure how it's much of an upgrade either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broncos now can find their QB of the future while Flacco keeps them competive with a good defense. Kinda like he was with the Ravens.

runyon27 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 This is probably a marginal upgrade for the Broncos, but its still an upgrade. Looks like this is the first domino in the off season QB market to fall. I love that Flacco is gone, means the Ravens are all in with a QB who can't throw.

Nero Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 It is a surprise for me, I didn't think of the Broncos as a possible destination for Flacco, but it may work for both parts. If it doesn't, I think Elway will lose all the credit he had: how many quaterbacks has he brought as starters? The only one that worked was Peyton freaking Manning.

choco Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Broncos fans don't seem too happy, its basically giving up a mid pick, adding salary and dead money (when case is cut) for an immobile statue who's posted worse stats in almost every category than case over the last 2 years. They need OL helps or Joe's retiring in a stretcher. Alot of worry about elway continually kicking the QB can down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermeck08 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Ravens are banking the rest of the NFL won’t adjust to Lamar. Plus , it’s only a matter of time he gets injured. we should have swept the ratbirds last season... we got hosed. Now that we are more respectable - look for that Raiders fiasco and other horrible officiating to swing in our favor.

tiamat63 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 With Fangio on board and a good pass rush + Chris Harris, the idea is probably to reload/ retool the Dline and Oline then let the defense do the heavy lifting while for offense is efficient if unspectacular. Good defense and a great turnover differential is probably the idea, I would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo What's surprising to me Z, is the Redskins didn't make a serious offer- or got out bidded or not enough cap room. Smith isn't playing this year, or maybe ever again. With that ilizarov device still on his leg months after the injury tells me that leg was shattered. They have our old pal Colt McCoy, so connect the dots.

Peyton had only won 1 SB until he was picked up by the Broncos. I see Elway trying to accomplish the same as with the Manning pickup.....see if a guy that has been there, done that once can do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5150k9 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I heard 4th round pick. But some think this is an upgrade. I do not. Flacco is older, less mobile, injury prone, and actually had worse stats and performance then Keenum over the past several years. Plus his Salary is huge. I have several friends that are going ape-$hi! over this. But it couldn't have happened to a better franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Still stings a bit Elway? Denver ranked 8th in most pass attempts last season. Denver also ranked #22 in sacks allowing 34..Fangio's best coaching hire was his OL coach Munchak from the berg..It's early, but Denver got better starting with Fangio..Not Elway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Elway's QB expertise ain't holding up so well... Word is that Flacco saw Jackson as the team's future and basically ceased to give a shit about the Ravens. Stopped working with WRs after practice... never helped Jackson... and at 34 he's not playing forever. Great move, John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike It will be interesting or maybe just fun to see who ends up being the best quarterback in the AFCN in 2019 season. Sounds like a question for Dutch's '19 Browns.
