Reason I can think of #1
Elway thinks Flacco is smarter than Keenum.
Keenum played good in three straight weeks against the Chargers, Steelers and Bengals getting the team to 6-6.
Zero INTs in those 3 games.
Keenum then played like ass and lost three straight games to the 49ers, Browns and Raiders to get them to 6-9.
4 INTs in those 3 games.
Elway prob feels like if he had a healthy Flacco this is a 10 win playoff team right now.
#2
Elway wants to find another young QB. Having Flacco locked up on a contract for the next 3 years means he can draft one this year or wait until next year. Flacco can help with teaching the new kid the ropes.
#3
Vance is gone and Keenum may be traded. I think Vance made a strong push for Keenum. Spending time with him at Houston. Elway agreed. Didn't like what he saw. Moving on.
All good points.
But #3 implies Elway can't actually evaluate QB talent and relies on what DC Vance Joseph says lol
Well, his record with qb's Is pretty dismal.
