The rest are JAGs and so is this year's group.

Don't get me wrong; I hope to all hell he DOES blow his pick on one these guys. It means he is as directionless as ever and has learned nothing from his past mistakes.
It also makes the Flacco deal look reeruned as **** and sends a mixed signal to their newly acquired vet.

Knowmo has already begun counting the training camp INTs that Flacco won’t throw

Well, I can't imagine Flacco at 34 and his last 4-5 years thinks any team is really looking at him as a 3-4 year long-term fix. He's near the twilight of his career.

Flacco is marginally better than Keenum... Denver won 6 games last year and there were 6 losses that were by a TD or less. 3 losses by a FG or fewer, one was by 4 to KC. So, I can only imagine they look at that and believe Flacco could have won 2-3 of those. Right or wrong, I'm fairly convinced that is how they view it.

None of it matters really unless they fix the OL. They have a bit of work to do before anyone should be too concerned one way or the other about what Flacco can do.

Nothing quite like developing OL talent by putting an old statue behind center...

Brilliant plan by Elway to ditch the mobile guy and spend money and a pick on a downgrade

Losing Harris and Sanders did more harm to the Cheating Donks than Keenum did. If those 2 didn't get hurt, Denver had a really good shot at the 2nd wild card spot. I really don't see any way that Flacco plays any better than what we saw from Keesum.

Is he?...are you basing that off a hot streak he got on 6+ years ago? He has averaged 16 TDs over the past 4 seasons. Case is better than him at this point...as at least he is mobile.

Keesum's QBR was higher last season than Flacco's last completed season.

It's amazing the amount of rope Donko fans give Horseface...he just totally failed on bringing in Keesum after totally failing on Lynch. His hand picked HC tanked and is gone...Bolles is a bust.

Flacco is just a name change....in hopes people forget his epic QB choke job last year....and the one the year before (Lynch)...and the one before (Sanchez/trying to sign Oz)

Literally his two best drafted players (outside of a the first round, top 5) weren't even picks...so that's just plain luck... otherwise they would have been selected in the 7th.

Sanders is done...Achilies for an older WR is a death nail.

I hope he picks a QB from this draft...so he can continue the cycle of bad choices.

You are looking at 7-9 tops next year.

MHM, you are so desperate

In your desperation, don't try to convince us that your used retread of qb is better than what you had.
Elway has been a failure at choosing Qb's before and since Manning.
You and the football world know it.

That fluttery, noodle-arm ain't doing shit.

All it has to do is guide Elway into his mouth

PFF say "Buyer Beware" on Lock...so you know Horseface is all in. I really hope he drafts him...and puts them 3 more years behind.

I assume that was taped pre-Flacco?

I wasn’t offering my defense of the move... I’m not a fan of Flacco.

I love how Cheating Donx Fans always point out how they won 6 games last year, BUT when discussing the losses, they always talk about how "close" they were to winning 4-6 of them... As if to suggest they were really better than the suck jank squad that lost double digit games two years in a row... Let's take a look at those 6 wins - 3 of the six wins were by 3 points or less - and one was by a TD. Any one of those 4 wins could have resulted in losses, especially the first two games of the season (played at home of course) and the game in San Diego. Bottom line is that Denver is exactly the 6-10 team that they proved to be last season.

Flacco is a QB who is trending down. One who might even be worse than Keesum now, especially since he is a statue. Signing Flacco to be your "Transition QB" was dumb as **** - since Denver already had one in Keesem.
