Let the Joe Flacco era begin with a heartfelt wish. May Joe Cool last longer as the Broncos’ starting quarterback than the errors John Elway made by trusting Case Keenum, Paxton Lynch, and Brock Osweiler to do a job far beyond their capabilities.
When Elway claims Flacco is in his prime at age 34, it sounds suspiciously like fake news. But Flacco has indeed won 96 regular-season NFL games and thrown 212 touchdown passes, as well as being named the most valuable player of Super Bowl XLVII, during his 11-season professional career.
