What has Flacco shown in the last 4 years to make this true? Yes. Just in terms of scheming an offense, you can do more with Flacco because he has some physical gifts whereas Case had none whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is Kubiak whispering into Elway's ear last summer and signing the telegraphed bust Case Keenum. Flacco is a win-now QB, but to win-now we need a huge talent infusion both in FA and the draft. We need another 2018 draft, and 3-4 FA 'hits' to become playoff relevant. Having the salary of both Flacco and Case makes 3-4 FA 'hits' very hard to do. Anyone know what our cap space looks like after this? For all my pessimism, its going to be great to have a QB that can push the ball down the field for the first time since Brock in our SB season. Thats nuts. Say what you want about Joe in the regular season, but he turns into not only a different QB, but an entirely different player in the playoffs. I hate him for it!

OrangeNBlue86 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Maybe we got 2013 Peyton Manning part deux?!? We are gonna ride him to 2 SB appearances. He’s gonna pad his hall of fame resume as a bronco and ride off into the sunset for us to then try it again with Wentz after philly gives up on him after another injury.

Cutler06 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Interestingly enough, our Vegas odds of winning the SB dropped from 100/1 to 125/1 after we acquired Flacco. Do they know something we don't ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavensfanRD Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Long as y'all tender that center and the O-line isn't goofy, Flacco gonna give y'all some nice bump. This is a lowkey power move that the fans will be happy about in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the post that was riddled with excuses for why Flacco was so awful for the past 3 years? Other fans can buy that if they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real simple, Joe has a legitimate NFL skill set and a very strong arm, even by NFL standards. He forces you to defend all portions of the field on every down. Case can't do that.

Yeah, he has a stronger arm. I'm not convinced he actually hits on those throws - but I can buy that defenses will respect him more than Case. I think Flacco's mobility is a real weakness compared to Case, so hopefully the OL continues their solid play that they showed for part of the season.

thebestever6 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I like Flacco . I just don't think this team is built to win now cap, depth, holes, etc. I still don't think Flacco was brought in strictly because Elway is in win now mode. Flacco, opens up the offense which helps the young guys develop more. Keenum literally was a rich mans Trevor Siemian. I think its elway trying to get the best of both worlde we will see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah people say this, but his rank in YPA (a stat that correlates with how well you stretch the field as a QB) is dead last in the league over the past 4 years.

thebestever6 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I personally don't think Flacco is or ever was a franchise qb but he has and always had franchise qb traits that you like your young qb to have whoever you draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
