My favorite thing about Flacco playing well in Cleveland two years ago was he sucked so bad for the Jets the 3 years prior to that 

Yeah, and Rodgers kind of sucked too. I don't think QBs should be judged too harshly for sucking while playing there. Look at Geno Smith and Sam Darnold, too. Too Jets cast-offs who just signed $100 million contracts this offseason.

Garrett: I want out. I need to play for a competitor.

 

Browns: how about a truck full of money?

 

Garrett: Still not enough.

 

Browns: …what if we also bring Flacco back in April?

 

Garrett: GIMME A PEN!! LET’S GOOOO

He must not have anything better to do. He should just retire and enjoy his $180 million.

he seems to think it’s pretty cool for his kids to actually see him play 

 

and that’s pretty cool

Browns Bring Back Big Baltimore Baller

[Malazan]

How is he even alive?

[RyanC883]

Flacco has had 2 careers.  SB winning Flacco, and now journeyman Flacco.  Actually, quite interesting/impressive he has made it in both.

You can never stockpile too many bad QBs. The battle of Kenny Pickett and corpse of Flacco

I did a double take to be sure this wasn’t an old thread from a few years ago. I see he’s made $180 MIL so far playing football. Yeah, he’s got this figured out.

he's so slow...he had to ask for an exemption from having to run out on the field.

Flacco is so slow Beane wanted to spend the 33rd pick of a draft on him...

I imagine if Josh wants to stick around to around 49 he could probably still get signed. 

 

This reminds me of left handed pitchers in baseball. They basically stink, but can hang around forever.

Yet they haven’t brought Cooper back.. hmmm

It amazes me this guy is still kicking around the league at 39. And it amazes me he still finds teams where he can potentially start at some point in the season. He's really cracked the code on his to have longevity in the league and exploit the lack of QB talent League wide into parlaying that into a nice career for himself. Good for him...but the factory of sadness continues to pump out mass produced years of 💩 at the QB position.

Nice situation for Flacco... (not so much the Browns) but reminds me of a Testeverde... finish your career out playing a little bit, not needing to be the guy, mostly hanging on the sidelines not getting beat to death, and making millions... good work if you can find it...

I’m sure he works hard, as it takes a lot to be a pro athlete. I don’t want to dismiss that, but he’s another vet QB who’s just collecting a check at this point. You can’t blame him for taking the money as long as someone wants him. These guys are like the nostalgia bands of athletes. 

 

And in a slightly different flavor, I give you 38 year old Josh Johnson, who was coached by Jim Harbaugh while at the University of San Diego.

 

As a professional football player:

• 9 teams
• 3 different leagues
• 12 seasons (chose not to play during the 2 Covid Years)

In the NFL:

• 45 appearances
• 9 starts
• 1 win
• 13 TD passes
• 16 INTs
• $12 million in career earnings (before signing with the Commanders yesterday)

Brown’s should do something crazy like trade back a few times and see how many first rounders they can get next year. Then go for a qb. But they won’t

The Browns are on self-destruct autopilot

if only this was true...

Laugh now but Watson said he's coming back better than ever.  Look out NFL.

It was meant as a joke but if Watson did come back better than ever he'd be even better than he was his three straight years making the pro bowl.
