He’s seeing things for the first time.”" / Twitter

uh oh, JD is a goner

“I wish i could microwave myself”

 

best comment I saw.

What is the difference between signing Blake Bortles to take a beating for a few weeks, and trading maybe a 5th rounder for a rental QB when you team is 1-5?

 

This is such a stupid move and reeks of desperation

Jets doing something very Jets like.

Flacco should just refuse to go out there, he can retire now and only miss the game checks, bonus has been paid by Philly. 

I get the sense that he wants to play.  After a few weeks of getting pounded he will limp to the bench and into retirement.

Did anyone else get an "Earworm" from this:

 

"Flacco and the Jets"

 

to the tune of "Benny and the JEts" by Elton John?

Oh how the mighty have fallen...

 

Super Bowl winner & Super Bowl MVP to.... playing for Jets organization 🤮

 

It's like watching a 45 year old, former champion boxer hang on too long trying to get that last win, and just continue to get beat down by every up & comer trying to get a notch under their belt destroying a big name. I'm sure Anderson Silva or Tito Ortiz will come out of retirement to fight on some no-name promotion's main event, say they've felt better than they ever have, then get annihilated by some no-name.

 

Then after the match, they'll get popped for PED's to add insult to injury. Flacco playing for the Jets is sealing that same fate.

Maybe Flacco has to wait for the cable guy to show up. You all know how that can drain a day. Just hope Joe doesn't try and sneak in a quick shower because you just KNOW that's when they show.

I wonder if this move will at least somewhat boost the confidence level for @Jimmy Spagnola enough for him to stop in and share his thoughts  😁

Flacco is so confused. He thought his agent said, “do you want to play with the jets” instead of, “do you want to play for the jets”

I cant believe there was enough of a market to require a potential 5th rounder to get Joe Flacco for 8 games

What did Joe Flacco do to deserve this?

When it comes to squandering resources, the Jets put most drunken sailors on shore leave to shame. 😁

He looks like he can’t wait to get that sweatshirt off

Nope - that was the tune back with Vinny Testaverde on the Jets.

 

Then it was Vinny and the Jets, but not with Flacco.  He just doesn’t fit it quite right for me.

He does not look like a happy boy.  And on a functional organization, I would think by the point he has time to put on a team sweatshirt and sits for a presser, the coaches should have had time to talk to him and tell him what they have in mind.

Wow, good for Flacco. He will make a few million for nothing.

Actually he was making a few million for nothing. Now he’s going to have to work a little for it.
