Stats dont mean everything imo. Some stats are garbage time stats . Some ints are not even on QBs like a pass that hits a wr in the hands and bounces to a defensive player. There is no way anyone can sit here and post that Keenum and Flacco are on the same level . Anyone who says that are just so ticked at the Broncos getting him instead of who they want . So your being stubborn and closed minded . It's not my favorite pick up by no means but until Flacco fails I'm not gonna torch him or Elway . What about Ellis , hes in charge also . Keenum has been a backup his whole career. To say hes as good as Flacco shows you just dont know or your trying to kid yourself

Last season, when Keenum's attempt number went over a specific number passes, we lost, period. Last year our running game went through periods of being ineffective or under utilized. A big part of this was that nobody in the world respects Keenum's deep arm. He's a noodle armed weakling.
Even if Flacco puts up similar numbers to Keenum, he can lob the ball down field with velocity and make deep throws. Keenum can't. This forces defenses to be honest and will help the run game by limiting the stacked boxes they'll see.
Look at the end of last season the way our run game really tapered off... A lot of that was the fact that Keenum SUCKS trying to throw over 15ish yards.
Flacco's not a great option at QB, but he is an upgrade in our offense because he will have the ability to stretch the field from time to time to keep defenses honest and allow Lindsay, Freeman and Booker to do their jobs.
We don't need Flacco to be a world beater, we need our running game and defense to be strong. Flacco does help the running game because of his arm.

Flacco is not a significant upgrade, certainly not a 28.5m and a high 4th round pick level upgrade.

Originally posted by Oust_Elway View PostGood point on the O-line. Flacco is very immobile. Munchack will have his work cut out for him, especially now that it looks like Paradis is walking. I don’t think we have stability at any of the 5 positions now. Bolles still holding/tackling guys all the time, Leary is probably gone, Veldheer will maybe be OK. I don’t know. You can’t look at any spot on the line and say, “That spot is taken care of.”
Injuries resulted in shuffling lineman several times. All things considered the line adapted fairly well. Turner, Wilkinson and McGovern gained valuable experience. Drafting one to two talented prospects would go a long way toward strengthening the line. I think Flacco can have a good season if Elway invests in the line.Last edited by Fantaztic7; 02-18-2019, 07:40 AM.

He's making 18m towards our cap after the Ravens eat their portion and it's not a "high" 4th, it's the 4th we got for DT from the Texans. so we basically traded DT for Flacco...
Even if it was a high fourth, name one 4th round draft pick that Denver's had since 2012 that's had an impact? Max Garcia and Booker are the only two still on our roster.Last edited by Freyaka; 02-18-2019, 08:24 AM.sigpic

One thing I noticed and its real obvious when watching CK and JF games is the difference in DB reaction time to passes. With JF it is obvious his passes have more velocity. Give JF a new head coach, running game and O-line and I believe Elway has us headed for another SB.

I shake my head that some on this board have become so Invested in seeing Flacco fail Similar to Chubb, who after his spectacular rookie season, still sees some of his critics hanging on to a lost cause. I sure as heck don't want Missouri's Lock on this team. And I have argued against Drafting him. But, if we do Draft him then he will be a member of this Team, no matter how I may feel, and I will support him. Imagine how good he would have to be to beat out Flacco! It would be great for the fans and great for the Franchise.
