It's not fair. It's just not fair. In the year 2019, there is absolutely no reason for football fans to still be going out of their way to dump all over the demise of a Super Bowl MVP who put together one of the most...ahem...elite postseason runs in relatively recent memory. We should have been moved on from giving redundant flack to Flacco, as there are only a select few idiots betting against the obvious downward trajectory of a long-time starting quarterback whose career median was mediocre. Both unfortunately and amazingly, however, one of those select few idiots just so happens to also be in charge of making the foremost executive decision on who to entrust with the fate of his franchise. I know, what are the odds, right? At this point, we're basically screaming wildly underwhelming stats into an empty void while John Elway has his soundproof headphones plugged in to cancel out the noise while watching decade-old game tape. Doesn't matter how many times we yell at that same cloud, because John Elway's head is buried far too deep in it to make out anything that's gone on down on the football field the last few years. After pumping every last pass out of Peyton Manning's arm, the proof is in the pudding that Joe Flacco appears to be trudging through whenever he's asked to navigate the pocket...
The Broncos (and, ironically enough, the best quarterback they've ever called their own) have absolute no idea what a quality quarterback looks like, and it's resulted in decidedly bad quarterbacks getting absolutely brutalized in the process of every Tom, Dick, and Harry trying to hammer home the same damn point that every Brock, Trevor, and Paxton has already proven. I've grown as tired of mocking Joe Flacco as I have of watching him play football, because those frustrations have been taken out on the wrong target. He, himself, wouldn't care to come up with a feasible argument in favor of him still starting in the NFL, so it feels unnecessary to blow the dust off a long-crafted counterargument. John Elway has turned Denver's pocket into a quarterback purgatory, and I wish there was a way to rightfully kill him for incompetence without continuing to beat a bunch of dead arms.
