Terrible move for Denver. Wasting that much cap space on a has been.

Nwosu can get after it.

Agreed. Another upfield-type DL would be great. Jones in the 2nd?

No no, not seeing it: Flacco = next Manning. Genius.

Joe Flacco trade actually made the Broncos' Super Bowl odds worse for 2019

Apparently, oddsmakers don't think the Joe Flacco is elite

It seems that oddsmakers aren't very impressed with Joe Flacco.

After watching the Broncos pull off a surprising trade for the Ravensquarterback on Wednesday, Denver's Super Bowl LIV odds actually got worse at one sportsbook, which basically tells you all you need to know about how oddsmakers feel about Flacco.

Before news of the trade broke on Wednesday morning, Bovada had Denver's odds of winning the Super Bowl next season listed at 100-1. Those odds were made with the presumption that Case Keenum would be the team's starting quarterback. After the trade went down, not only did Bovada drop the Broncos odds to 125-1, but they also improved the Ravens Super Bowl odds from 30-1 to 28-1.

Not really comparing him to Dilfer skillset wise. Yeah he has a bigger arm. Older QBs. Not going to be relied on to lead this offense imo. I think they will do what the Ravens did with Dilfer and thats build a monster Run game and Defense around him. He isnt the Flacco of his youth. He will manage the offense like Dilfer did but he wont be slinging it imo. He will be Dilfer 2.0 imo. And thats an older QB who simply has to manage the offense and not carry it.

Monster run game and killer d is a recipe for any team. Flacco is better than he gets credit for. He was hurt last season and the Ravens fell in love with their shiny toy but those QBs rarely last in the NFL. I give Lamar another season maybe.

Really not debating Jackson here. I think Flacco is a stationary slow QB who is on the backside of his career. He wont move outside a pocket. His numbers are not even that great. He has never thrown more than 27 TDs. +25 twice. 4K yards once. He had some success but that was more about his D and Running game. I just dont see the upgrade you do. Its ok to agree to disagree. Nothing impressive about his numbers to be quite honest. I think hes 24W-27L over his last 4 years. I just think hes dwindling. They sparked pretty good when they put Jackson in there. Now its possible he has regressed due to the lack of a run game over those years but he just doesn get the ball out fast enough. Takes a lot of uneeded sacks. And has put the ball on the ground 81 times over 163 games. Im just not as high on him as you are.

212 TDs vs 136 INTs over his career. Not exactly great.

Flacco is the perfect average QB, does not suck but is also pretty meh. Actually Keenum played us damn good, I like our chances against Flacco better.

I basically said it was an upgrade in my very first post in this thread. I just think that he is being brought in to manage the game like Dilfer was in Baltimore. Aging Vet. Spectacular D and Run game.
