Would you have rather just signed big ben or joe flacco?

Flacco isnt nearly as good as he was 2-3 years ago either.

Flacco stood on the sideline (healthy) and backed up a rookie. (Marginal rookie)

I’d rather have Big Ben over Flacco but Ben will never be made available and Flacco was obtained for a 4th.

Idk why it’s so hard to see that acquiring a guy with 10 playoff victories and the only active QB to beat Brady in an AFC Championship game can’t be better for the Broncos then Keenum. Flacco also had one of his best seasons in the Kubiak west coast offense and our new OC came from a Kyle Shanahan coached offense which is very similar.

I pretty much always agree with your Sabres posts.

I hope were not looking threw the same rose colored glasses.

Flacco maybe better then Keenum.
Upgrade from qb40 to qb38.

I'm just glad the Bill's aren't playing that game....

Bovada has moved the Broncos from 100 to 1 to win the Super Bowl, to 125 to 1 following the announcement of the Flacco trade.

Actually makes sense, they want more people betting. It's psychology, fans will be like, "we got worse?! (frank) you! I'm going to bet even more now!", look at all the rationalizing we've seen here today. Flacco is better than Keenum, they got better, for sure, but Flacco does not put them ahead of the Chargers or the Chiefs. The South is getting the second WC whether it's the Colts or Texans. I think a 10-6 team or two miss next year in the AFC and the Broncos could be one of those teams.

That's just it. No one is saying Keenum is good. But everyone is saying, for the most part, says flacco is bad. And if they're just gonna run and play solid d, why bring in a guy who for more seasons then not has struggled to be average. For a fourth, guess it's worth a shot. Just saying maybe don't plan the parade because you traded for "a SB MVP." Because like you said, you only traded a fourth.. Usually, good SB MVPs do not get that treatment

No, no I’m know where near planning a parade. I think with Flacco they have a better chance at the playoffs then with Keenum. I expect the Broncos to address the QB position either this year in the draft or next year at the latest. I think Fangio is the one that moves the needle the most for the Broncos. When we lost Wade Phillips our defense took a step back. With Fangio here the defense will keep us in every game no matter who we are playing. Flacco doesn’t need to be Mahomes, he just can’t be the worst QB in the league either. If he gives us Alex Smith type of production (doesn’t turn the ball over and makes a play when he needs to) the Broncos can win 10 games this year.

Case Keenum is bad
Joe Flacco is servicable
Sam Bradford is a con artist
Brandon Pirri deserves to stay in the NHL
Jack Eichel is one of the best possession players in the entire league
Bryce Harper remains unsigned, he should sign with the Bisons
I own a signed Joe DiMaggio bat. (frank) you.
LeBron is a traitor.
Anthony Davis seems to love his team.
Jordan Spieth is the (frank)ing man and everyone should know it.
(frank) Tiger, he's (frank)ing weak and so are you for liking him.
(frank) Ottawa, twice
(frank) Toronto as many times as you possibly can.
I love Hillary as much as I love Trump.

Don’t jinx yourself Boss ! I like what I saw from Allen the last few weeks but it’s a lot easier to play when you’re out of the playoff hunt and a majority of the teams you’re playing are in the same situation. Osweiler went 4-2 for the Broncos and made $17M with the Texans and flopped. Sanchez took the Jets to two AFC championships once upon a time. Vince Young won a rookie of the year. Deshaun Watson isn’t the same player that tore up the league in the 7 games he played before tearing his ACL the year before.

Allen has the traits you want to see in a QB but until I see it day in and day out I wouldn’t say you guys are out of the woods just yet. Getting him an O-Line and guys to throw the ball too will definitely help though.

Probably not likely but looking forward to golf season. Heading to Scottsdale next month to play TPC and a few other courses. Thinking about getting a new driver.

I hope your year is full of pars and birdies.

From an articld on The Athletic in which each of the 31 teams was pegged for pressure to make a move ... Buffalo was ranked 3rd ( maybd 4th) most pressure packed.

When y'all go to the Bills or Sabres games, do you simply walk into the arena or stadium as you please or do you have to go through the gate and hand them a ticket in order to enter? Wondering if fences, walls and barriers work. Asking for a friend.
