Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

What we don’t get is that the numbers just don’t support the notion that he’s average, and yet you guys just keep insisting he is. It’s puzzling to say the least.
Denver's OL isn't helping Flacco much.
(Like QB's before him)
Do you think Flacco would perform better behind Dallas' OL?
If so, maybe that's his current potential.
Depends on which numbers you choose. Two quarterbacks:
#1 - 10 playoff wins, 5 losses and one Super Bowl Championship
#2 - 10 playoff wins, 7 losses and one Super Bowl Championship
Using outcomes as the ultimate statistic, which one is above, average, or below average?
You're...you're not using QB metrics here and I think you know that. 2015 proved that a lopsided team, if ELITE enough on one side can compensate for the other. We dont have that and that is even harder to do than just having a good QB
Put him on a solid team, and I think he would be better? The Ravens did not want him to get hurt and be on the hook for his contract.
That was one reason they didn't play him again.
They traded back into the 1st round to snag Jackson because they were desperate to move on from Flacco, and, even with Jackson’s struggles as a passer, they dropped him like a hot potato after the season was over. Why? Because he’s bad as a starting QB. That’s why.
Pressures, hits, pick your stat. None of them support the narrative that the OL is a bigger issue than Flacco, and certainly doesn’t support the notion that they are to blame for his poor play.
Denver is the 11th worst team in sack rate, and tied for 17th in QB hits, despite having the QB who has the 6th fastest time to throw. The offense which is just very similar to SF, has a eerily similar QB metrics, but our OL is way worse in all the categories. The 49ers are undefeated, and we are 2-4.
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care

The 49ers also have an absolutely monstrous defense. Like we're talking outrageously good. Sound familiar?

The pass protection is average. The running game is above average. An average QB would probably be getting average or better results with this offense. If a QB needs a great OL to be passable, he’s just bad. That’s the truth.
Not that good, if it were we wouldnt have lost against the bears and jags. If we had the 49ers D we too would actually have a winning record and perhaps only lost the packers game but its all theoretical

Statistics show, it is in fact below average in pass protection.

They haven't allowed a TD in 9 quarters, and are two terribly called roughing calls from 4-2.

So is it your position that being a statue in the pocket doesn’t make it much harder to protect a QB? In my opinion Flacco’s 0 score in athleticism or even basic pocket movement with his feet makes him probably the easiest QB in the league to sack. I mean you get that the league is full of guys who are paid to sack the QB right? It’s not easy to protect a slug like Flacco, not even remotely.

Statistics show you are wrong again, and he is not the easiest QB to sack. The offense runs quick developing routes, and gets the ball out fast. Yet the OL still is sub par in pass pro, and one of the more highly penalized teams in terms of holding being the 4th worst in the league. Flacco's lack of mobility may play a part, but the inability to sustain blocks is what's holding the offense back even moreso.
