I was watching Flacco the other day in an early season 2018 game against the Steelers that they won. He actually played really well. I'm curious if he'll do anything for the Broncos or not, a the very least outplaying Case Keenum should be within his abilities

Then we came out the next week against the Browns looking miserable and were just never the same. You would never have guessed after that Steelers game Flacco would end up getting benched for a very raw rookie. I'm not even 100% sure what happened. Yeah we looked bad in the Bengals game but we are almost always trash in Cincinnati. The wheels just came off.

The way Lamar became the lead guy was somewhat abrupt so it's harder to judge if Flacco is actually toast or not... yeah he had a few tough seasons in a row but I feel like the team was letting him down just as much or more as he was letting the team down. Early this past season he was passing downfield pretty drat well. Then it was just a couple games where a lot went wrong and boom he's gone. But I didn't feel like there was a game or series of games where I was able to say "wow, Flacco just absolutely sucks, he's done"

I feel like on a different team with more league-average receivers Flacco would have looked better. I just like poo poo-talking him.

I also remember looking back at the stats what a terrible run game we had before Jackson came in with Collins/Allen. We just weren't doing jack. So Flacco had to do a lot of the lifting himself with no real relief from that run game. In that Browns game he threw 56 times. Dixon/Edwards was a better combo for Jackson. IIRC Flacco was hurt after the second steelers game where they handled us pretty well at home. Then we won a couple games with Jackson and Harbaugh was just like screw it. I think Jackson is cool and all but looking back at just the numbers I really don't see how Flacco's benching was justified. He had a 61.2 completion percentage and 12 TDs to 6 INTs. All with no real running game at the time to back him up. There's no reason to pin the team's struggles on that guy. I guess we just felt that we had to get Jackson in and I was all for it at the time but really looking back you can see what a total idiot John Harbaugh is and why he never had any business becoming an NFL coach. Also Crabtree dropped the GW TD pass at Cleveland I remember that now too. So another game Flacco won. Plus of course we basically tied the game against NO but Harbaugh wouldn't go for two. God I hate that dunce Harbaugh so much. But we can't just get rid of him right now. But if we have a bad year he's toast. He's on thin ice at least with me.

It's also worth considering that while Edwards and Dixon are better players than Collins and Allen (I'm especially a big Dixon fan, my big bowling pin of a running back), Lamar himself is a large part of the reason why the running game took off like it did. His speed, the constant threat to run with the option attack they were using, and the fact that defenses had to account for the possibility of Lamar keeping it and burning them bad for over-pursuing the RB was a huge factor. But yeah, early in the season the run game was absolutely being shut down and Flacco acquitted himself pretty well imo. I watched a few Broncos games the other day and I feel pretty comfortable saying that Flacco is a much better quarterback than Keenum. I hope he succeeds in Denver and also I really like what he said about mentoring Drew Lock.. basically just gently caress that noise, that isn't my job bitch

Jackson did play a huge part in the running game working absolutely. I guess in some ways I do see the dilemma. If we're going to move on from Flacco and have Jackson and he's raw what's better, to have him ride the bench for another season or two? Or see how he is right now this past half season and this one. It might be clear by the end of this next season that no Lamar ISNT the guy, and if we see that then we can move on quicker than if we'd waited. And dump Harbaugh out with him. And if he makes strides in his passing game? Then Harbaugh and co look like geniuses for getting him out on the field. I feel like the league is past the stage where we are overprotective of rookies. Maybe the more enforced contact rules also help with this. And that's probably a good thing honestly. If it's even true. So maybe I see more of a dilemma. And maybe I was harsh in my words. But still those performances didn't warrant a benching. The Cleveland and New Orleans games also were basically two late game heroics that went awry for one reason or another not related to Flacco. If those pan out there's no way he would have been kept on the bench after Jackson's starts.

At least he's in the last year of his deal if that's true, but that line seems like it's falling apart before a single snap. Historically, the Bengals' success on offense has pretty much matched up perfectly to the quality of the offensive line.

GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Folks, thats why you give Big Bobby the Big Bucks quote:For those who say you shouldn’t have signed Bobby Hart, who is going to play right tackle? Who? Oh, maybe you’ll draft one in the third round and he’ll come on. Really? You’re going to bet your season on that? We may still draft somebody. We haven’t had the draft yet. But you just can’t criticize. In our business you have to solve the problem. If you’re not going to play him, tell me who? Trent Brown at 17 million? Really? A seventh-round draft pick? Let go essentially by his team. Really? We can’t go to WalMart and buy off the shelf. A high quality starting right tackle? That doesn’t exist (in free agency). You have to deal in the universe of options you have. We ended up signing eight guys. That’s probably above average. Were they perfect? You’re not going to get perfect. ... There aren’t perfect options out there. We asked Willie Anderson if he could go to a time machine and come back at age 25. We’d love to sign him, but you have to deal in your universe of options. I think the data would say we signed more guys than most in line with the cap that we talked about. If there are surprises out there we’ll try to be flexible and aggressive, but normally there are no surprises out there.”
