Joe Flacco: Browns never made me an offer for 2024

[Street Knowledge]

The 2023 Comeback Player of the Year almost didn’t have a spot to come back to in 2024.

Quarterback Joe Flacco, who reiterated in a post-game call to PFT that he plans to play as long as he can, came off the bench and got a win in relief of starter Anthony Richardson.

Flacco explained that he was interested in the Colts because of his shared time in Philly with Indy coach Shane Steichen. More importantly, and as Flacco said, the phone wasn’t exactly ringing off the hook.

It definitely didn’t ring from Cleveland. He said they made him no offer to return for 2024.

The reason is obvious: Flacco did too well last year. This year, Browns fans would be clamoring loudly for Flacco, four games into another unimpressive showing from Deshaun Watson.

It all flows back to Watson’s contract. The Browns had no choice but to continue to prop him up, even if there’s no clear evidence that he’s the guy he was in 2020, when we last saw him play at a high level on a consistent basis.

Choose your Taadow Hot Take:

A) There should be a building behind the Pro Hall of Fame for players who were anomalies like Joe Flacco.
I mean - they are famous, and it’s the Hall of FAME. Guys who were amazing just for a moment. Or guys like Flacco
who just won’t stay down. Put Okeye in there. Harbaugh. Rypien. DeBerg. Alstott. Centers. Sherman.

Give them orange jackets.

Or

B) Joe Flacco might be a vampire.

I came to make a thread asking if Joey Flacco was making a greater Hall Of Fame case than Eli Manning. But then I decided "why invite being called stupid and a troll into your life this early in the morning?". Low and behold this thread pops up,and you expressed my thoughts with a much better idea


Eli felt more flukey to the point that I still dont know if he would make it into either building


Guys like Deshaun would be there though


One of the greatest fall offs that still cant be explained smh.

Browns fukked up. If they were always going to keep three QBs it would have made more sense to re-sign Flacco. Can Jameis provide a spark after Watson inevitably gets benched or injured? Sure, but he's going to turn the ball over like he always does. Granted the coach/GM aren't getting fired but why potentially waste a year with no Plan B....

I think Watson is done.

Browns are cursed. Should've never did Paul like that.

 

[firemanBk]

They didn't re-sign him because they're stuck with Deshaun and the rest of the team would've been begging for Joe to start by this point already
That locker room can't fukking stand Deshaun's bum ass
You could see it all over their faces when Joe was starting last year they were so happy to have anyone else throwing passes to them

Yeah because Flacco doesn’t turn the ball over

Browns should've kept him he serves no purpose on a rebuilding team (Indy). I'd much rather have Jameis at QB2. Make the trade Cleveland it's not too late.
