Look, Flacco might be ok, but from a little bit of distance it looks like a very temporary move, which means we still do not have our QB for the future. Therefore, for me, the clock starts ticking at the draft. Neither of Flacco or Keenum will take us where we want to go. And not that it matters what others think, but I am confident that most will be looking at this trade as a secondary news item, given Flacco is nearly done, is not mobile, and we have an Oline that is not going to protect him.
So...I fully expect us to draft a QB, hopefully early, because that young man will be our only possible long term QB, given the players we now have on our roster. And this is back in Elway's hands. He needs to hit a home run with a drafted QB. Plus he needs to shore up the Oline, "for once and for all". Now, expediency may not be critical, but at some point our O must be as good or better than our D....because the D as we know it may not be above average in a couple of seasons. It may be a dilemma in the making....trying to improve an O but also needing to give some TLC to our D, with the same piggy bank for both.
Flacco is not the future. Neither is Keenum. And our Oline needs to be better, for them and for anyone who takes over the job.
Now, one qualifier....if our new coaching staff brings a load of value add, it may soften some of the transitioning. It may maximize the resources that we "do" have.
