syhuang Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Joe Flacco: I’m here to win games, not be a mentor I remember quite a few wanted Flacco especially two years ago to replace Tyron, I guess Flacco is not a process guy? ? 1
IgotBILLStopay Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Headline is deceptive. All he says is that he is concerned with helping the team win. He did say " I hope he does develop." So it is not like he will work well on slippery roads (he is not "Anti-Lock"). 2
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 He views himself as the starter Not a QB mentor. Im not sure you’d hear different from Rodgers Brady Brees etc. not that Flacco is at that level..

DJB Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Dont worry Flacco, Lock won't want to mentor you either after a few games of you playing like crap. 4

"Flacco was asked about serving as a mentor to the rookie and said that he hopes Lock does learn from watching him, but made it clear that he’s focused on playing football while offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello is charged with developing the young quarterback. “It’s kind of Rich’s job. It’s to be in that quarterback room and watch. That’s how you can develop. I got so many things to worry about,” Flacco said. “I’m trying to go out there and play good football. … I’m not worried about developing guys or any of that. That is what it is. I hope he does develop. I don’t look at that as my job. My job is to go win football games for this football team.” TBH, I view the mentor question as a class of "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't questions for a vet who is still starting. If the guy says "you betcha, I'm gonna devote myself to mentoring" then you're a has-been whose competitive fire has dimmed to embers. If the guy says "I hope he learns, but I'm trying to win games for this team and play good football, it's the coach's job to develop him" then you're not a team guy. 3 2
aristocrat Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 It’s on the qb coach to coach lock. But it’s not like flacco isn’t going to work with him like normal qbs in the room do.

Malazan Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 I don't see any problem with this. He wasn't brought in to be a mentor. It's not like signing an aging backup. 2

He made it look like a quote and it was not. And in the process, made Flacco look like a total a-hole. Even if the link was copied, the quote shows up. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/13/joe-flacco-im-here-to-win-games-not-be-a-mentor/ That's dirty, Bush League, crap. And who the hell is Josh Alper?? 1

Did he really? They say he’s smart, but.......smart comes in different forms. They also say he’s full of himself, but..........did he really???
