Joe Flacco to the Broncos.
The NFL is playing on Xbox One and John Elway went out and got a Nintendo.

So much Flacco slander in my timeline by people who can’t name a successful first round pick the Ravens made on offense for his entire career in Baltimore.

Joe Flacco move is brilliant.
-he has no guaranteed money
-You can see what he has and release him before the season if he’s got nothing in the tank.
-you create competition at the QB position.
You just got a former SB MVP for nothing.

Outside of the win/loss record the stats say Keenum/Flacco are nearly identical. Even still a 4th rounder for a guy with no guaranteed money left is nearly risk free. A 4th rounder is nothing. You just got a 4th rounder for DT. Good gamble. Swing until you hit.
