Seems as though I owe somebody an apology. Here I was assuming that all John Elway did by trading for Joe Flacco was further his annual streak of starting new and disproved quarterbacks that happen to be insanely average, at best, in the most basic of skill-sets. How could I have been so careless to do so without keeping some toast handy to make use of any potential egg off my face? I mean, who could forget that the young and spry 34 year old is only now entering the prime* of his career as someone who has already put together an extensive resume of near flawlessly snatching the ball directly from the taint of an offensive lineman in just 11 short years of playing the quarterback position professionally? Me, that's who. I somehow let the indisputable fact that Joe Flacco is still 16 whole years away from being eligible for an AARP card slip my mind, and thus lost sight of the idea that he's still yet to have played out the promise of his golden years. For that, I offer my deepest apologies to John Elway, the whisperer of all tall quarterbacks who can throw a football far, have the discipline in their inherent lack of mobility to never stray too far from under center, and are just young enough to understand all-too-well the value of a full eight hours of sleep. And they say his personnel decisions in the passer department are too heavily influenced by his own career path, HA! * ...or is it twilight? I always get those mixed up. Whatever, they both sound good, right?
