Oh like I don't know how to survive a sh*tty Jaguars quarterback?

Lamar is the future

But can you survive someone else's sh*tty quarterback becoming the sh*tty Jaguars quarterback and all the pictures and videos we'll be posting once a deal happens?

I am looking forward to the Ravens bringing in Tom Osborne to help everyone learn the wishbone option.

Yeah, I really don't know what they're gonna do with him. They, clearly, can't have him run so much. Why they didn't do more play action is beyond me, but hopefully they'll have more time to develop a coherent offense for Lamar.

Denver will have $28.5 million on its 2019 cap for Keenum and Flacco, with no quarterback of the future on the roster. It's hard to fathom how the Broncos got here, but it's an incredibly unenviable position.

I guess we'll find out when they trade for Eli.

Sorry, NFL, you're never going to top the following signing, ever:

Online betting site Bovada updated Denver's Super Bowl odds following the Flacco trade, changing them from 100:1 to 125:1.

Better tell garion about that.

He doesn't read my posts. In the AAF thread he posted something I posted here, like he's special or something.

I skim past garion posts because I just assume they're unsubstantiated 4chan "leaks".

Red Steel 3 is real!

I disagree with this sentence: "Flacco's presence also makes it unlikely that the Broncos will draft Drew Lock or Dwayne Haskins."

Well first of all, they weren't in great position to draft Haskins if they wanted to. The chances he gets past both the Jags and Giants are slim, and they would have to win a trade up battle with less ammo.

But more generally, I don't think this trade reduces the likelihood of the team drafting a QB one iota. I expect their QB depth chart to be Flacco and a 1st or 2nd round rookie. Keenum will be gone and they will eat some dead money.

Flacco as the one to two year stopgap? I could see it, but I don't know why they wouldn't have just rolled with Keenum that way. Statistically they were in the same ballpark last season. Just seems odd. Because Elway's an idiot. Always has been.

Well because...

... that.

I agree that I would have just kept Keenum as the stopgap. This is Elway souring on Keenum and thinking he can pull another Peyton Manning final chapter out of Flacco.

Wasn't Flacco more or less a stopgap in Baltimore the last couple of years?

Not really, more like an albatross. He's captain checkdown now and his deep ball is dead.

Earlier, Warren dropped this tweet with a video of Adam Schefter "dropping him in one." I'll give you the short version:

Since Super Bowl win:

Flacco - Most QB money in NFL
Flacco stats - TD-to-INT ratio, Yards per Attempt - Last in the NFL

LAST

Steelers are reportedly looking for a 1st round pick for Antonio Brown, which they won't get. Remains to be seen if this is just setting a price to come down from, or if it's one of those deals where a player that's asked for a trade gets offered only at a high price, so that the team can say they honored the request.

The report comes from another NFL GM who could just be talking out of their ass though.

Flacco is Blake Bortles quality at Drew Brees prices.

That seems about right given how well they handled the Bell situation.. their asking price is inflated and they basically get nothing in the end.. Nobody will give up a first round pick for Brown.. oh sh*t the Patriots are totally going to get him arent they?

Well put.

Not likely with their cap space.

Colts, 49ers, Lions, Bills, Jets seem the likeliest destinations. That is assuming Pittsburgh comes down in their trade price. Still a very good chance no move happens, just like the Bell situation you reference.

The ATL Falcons are having too much fun with today's holiday on Twitter

Oh myyyyy, that's awesome.

Guru can officially rest easy.

Unless they ship him to the Eagles and there's a really bad relationship between him and Foles/Certis. Or the Eagles give up most of their draft picks to make the trade. One of the two.

Because Google keeps feeding me articles about Flacco to the Broncos, I keep reading them because I think they're hilarious. Elway the moron.

Ahem, anyway.

Flacco will cost Denver $18.5 million this year. If the Broncos choose to keep both Flacco and Keenum, they’ll pay $36 million for two bad quarterbacks in 2019. If they cut Keenum, they’ll still owe him $7 million, and if they trade Keenum, they’ll lose $10 million in cap space due to his $10 million dead cap hit. If they cut Flacco, they won’t owe him anything—the $60 million-plus on his contract is unguaranteed—but then they will have traded a draft pick for nothing. That’s probably what the Broncos should do. Trading a draft pick for nothing is Denver’s best-case scenario.

So true. Best thing for the Broncos to do is cut Flacco.

I love this sh*t.
