In an interview he tells the reporter " it's not his job to mentor rookie QB Lock!"
Joe continues to say " Look I have more things to worry about, winning games is the most important thing as for time constraints and all of that stuff I'm not worried about developing guys or stuff like that."

Denver got their guy!!!!

Flacco or Lock?

Flacco or Lock?

SACKO. He is their guy, he is going to turn around this organization! Couldn't start in Baltimore but he will do great things in Denver!

 

[mrschaney]

I think he will fare well in Denver.

 

[mrschaney]

Flacco

Clearly he's still a little butthurt that there was some rumors going around his Super Bowl win didn't really count since he was going against Colin Kaepernick !

Flacco's coming off an injury plagued season, he lost his starting job in Baltimore, he's with a new team, learning a new system and dealing with a first year head coach. He needs to focus on himself and helping the Broncos win some games this season. I'm fine with that. Drew Lock can watch and learn this year and get help from the coaching staff. Flacco has arguably been in decline for years, so I'm okay with him focusing on himself for now. If he plays poorly or gets injured, we'll all see Drew Lock soon enough.

Well said! Flacco needs to do Flacco at this point in his career!

LOL, no. I'm hopeful that Drew Lock can play but he's not even close to ready, from what I've heard. Flacco should be more stable until Lock is ready to roll. After three years of Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiller, Paxton Lynch and Case Keenum, Joe Flacco looks like an upgrade believe it or not. Broncos fans have been in QB purgatory since Manning retired.

What's that? Being painfully average

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Flacco the elite player and leader. So we've been told for years. Got to love rat bird fans.

How long b4 they all start telling us Joe sucked?

Glad to hear you say that, rumor has it when Lock wins the starting job, Broncos are trading him to Cincy!

No video so could be out of context and All good points, but none of which relate to him kind of coming off as a dick for no reason. If he did the same thing last year then he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. IMO he comes off more as a guy that still thinks he is as good as only he once thought he was in the first place...

U do realize his numbers consistently put him in the 23+ in most all
Metrics right, lock should start

Regardless of what everyone thinks of Joe Flacco, it looks like he's solidly in place to start according to the Broncos. Of course that could change after training camp but I know the Broncos really want him to start for a year if possible.

I know Flacco has been overrated for his entire career. I've never been a Flacco fan but when you're trotting out Siemian, Keenum, Osweiller and Lynch....it's hard not to see it as a slight upgrade. Minimally, he buys the team some time to get Lock ready. We'll see how this all goes.

oh i agree on that sense, but dalton has out performed him greatly. I think you can have a legit question of who is better, flacco, bortles, tannehill

 

[SideSwipe52]

I'm not surprised, he had the same attitude with the Ravens last year, not a team player.

I think since the SB win, the BAL franchise tried to purge the team of some vets and that had some impact on Flacco and the OFC in general...OL issues, they struggled to replace Ray Rice for a yr or 2, obviously never put a solid WR 1 & 2 tandem together....with that, they still had 2 top 10 OFCs from '13 to '17.

People seem to be counting the games that Flacco will start this yr before being pulled for Lock. If DEN puts players around him (they have some solid pcs) and not ask Flacco to carry the team...DEN can stay in the hunt, if so he might keep the job all season.

FWIW...I don't blame Flacco...he wasn't brought in to mentor Lock, he was brought in to be a stop gap QB...period.
