The veteran quarterback left Baltimore this offseason before the arrival of the consolidation of Lamar Jackson in the ownership of the Ravens.
Given the lack of results from his passers since the retirement of Peyton Manning, John Elway opted to make a trade with the Ravens to acquire Joe Flacco, who after an injury in the regular season lost the title to Lamar Jackson.
One of the great doubts Flacco woke up in the Broncos since his arrival was the age of the passer and if he could make the offensive of the organization could carburara again. This Thursday, the 34-year-old quarterback cleared the doubts.
"I definitely have something to prove, I still have plenty in the tank and I think I can do more than what I've done in my 11-year career," said Flacco for ESPN's Jeff Legowld.
Flacco is getting the tall stick. During his stay in Baltimore he came to Super Bowl XLVII against the 49ers to give his second championship ring to the Ravens. He also has a 10-5 record in the postseason.

Last Tuesday it was announced that second-year running back Phillip Lindsay, who had a wrist injury and underwent surgery in December, and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, Achilles tendon fracture, will rejoin the team for the training. camp. That's what John Elway did.
And it seems that the return to the grid by Sanders is excited. He even took time to talk about Flacco, whom he qualified as a competent passer and capable of leading the offense.
"Flacco is a great player, I think we're going to be fine with him, I like the way he throws the ball, I call him 'Chico Lindo' Flacco, that's his name," the receiver said.
