Northern Green Wings 720 Report post Posted February 13 Well there goes one destination for a potential Foles trade. I guess they didn't like their odds of landing him if he walked in free agency either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downundermike 14,454 Report post Posted February 13 Wow. A former QB that is horrible at choosing QB's now that he is a GM. Without the known quantity of Peyton Manning, Elway would have a 100% failure rate picking QB's. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

20dawk4life 8,764 Report post Posted February 13 Meh. Maybe he becomes serviceable with a strong running game and good WRs. I still like Sutton and Sanders. Plenty of people thought Peyton was done when he went to Denver, of course no one will admit that now, but we all seen it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was because of a sever career threatening injury, not his play on the field. Kurt Warner might be a better example. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ckudrick 1,962 Report post Posted February 13 The Broncos should try to flip Keenum to the Giants. He worked with Shurmur in Minnesota & is more mobile than Eli, which is needed behind their atrocious OL. If they can get a 5th or 6th for him, and dump his salary, it would be a win for them. And for us because that would solve the Foles to NY dilemma. 😉 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toolg 4,165 Report post Posted February 13 Flacco is supposed to make $18.5 million this year on his current contract. Foles reminds me of a younger version of Flacco; they have a lot of similar abilities. It makes me think the price for Foles should be higher. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madriver 1,042 Report post Posted February 13 Bad move, but they were desperate and on that team is on the verge of becoming a dumpster fire. Flacco is done. Something like 24-27 over the last few seasons? 34 years old? Forget about it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toolg 4,165 Report post Posted February 13 Obviously a win-move for the Ravens. They are all-in on Lamar Jackson at QB. Moving Flacco's big contract means more $$$ to sign the players they want to build around. And they should get one of the Bronco's 4th-round draft picks to help get started. The Broncos get a veteran QB, presumably to help coach up whatever young QB they take in the draft. At least Flacco is better than what they were working with at QB recently. It also means they could wait another year or so to draft one, if they choose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MH1989 Report post Posted February 13 Over the last three seasons: Joe Flacco (41 starts) 50 TDs, 34 INTs, 63.8 CMP%, 82.6 QB rate, 242 yards a game. Case Keenum (41 starts) 49 TDs, 33 INTs, 63.8 CMP%, 86 QB rate, 235.1 yards a game. — Josh Eberley 🇨🇦 (@JoshEberley) February 13, 2019 Interesting comparison. Nearly identical stats for Flacco and Keenum. Granted this doesn't include the win-loss record, but since the Super Bowl Flacco has mostly been mediocre. So I'm struggling to see why Denver traded for him other than them pinning their hopes on him doing enough to get them to the play offs and having another magical run, but I'm not convinced that will happen. For me, they might have been better off sticking with Keenum as a stopgap, while drafting and developing the long term quarterback (e.g. Lock, Haskins) and trade up for them. As it stands they'll take a hit getting rid of Keenum while paying Flacco. They can still draft someone, but it's difficult to see them really benefiting from this trade. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeach_Eagle 24,891 Report post Posted February 13 Anyone think that the Ravens faith in Jackson to be their future, is misplaced? I didn't see a whole lot of him last season and I don't follow college football, but the tiny bit that I did see, I was far from impressed. If this was the Eagles trading away Carson Wentz, or Nick if he was our starter, in favor of making Jackson the starter... I'd be pretty pissed. Granted, it's Flacco being traded, but I don't know that I'd be excited about Jackson. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
