Twitter erupts over Flacco's reported trade to Broncos
Twitter had a field day after it was reported that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will be heading to the Denver Broncos in a trade.
The jokes were flying, with many of them aimed at Broncos VP of football operations John Elway - who's struggled to find a leading quarterback in recent years - and at Flacco, who's often underwhelmed since winning Super Bowl XLVII.
Over the last three seasons:

The NFL is playing on Xbox One and John Elway went out and got a Nintendo.
We're one year away from Elway and the Broncos trading for Andy Dalton.

gotta respect john elway’s efforts to make sure he gets a bad qb with a name every year, ensuring he will go to his grave as the franchise’s best qb ever
