ColoradoBills Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Wow, with the Flacco benching out of the top 10 highest paid QBs in the league (average per year) there are only 2 as of now making the playoffs, Cousins and Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it. Same reason Jacksonville might be a long shot. Those two teams are destined for rookies IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those, I would say Cousins is also not a certainty. Panthers may still sneak in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Not a good time to be a vet and lose your job as there are not a lot of job openings right now for guys like Flacco. Most everyone has a starter they are committed to or a young QB they are developing already. Looking at the 32 teams, I only see 2 that really could be a landing spot for him where he can start for sure. Jacksonville - Gotta be the favorite Giants - Prime candidate to go QB in the draft, but they are also winning a lot right now behind Barkleys dominance. So could see them maybe grab Flacco as a stop back, then draft defense, and see if they can compete for playoffs with him, Barkley, OBJ, Evan, Sterling, etc. These 2 could be possible places, but I think they are more likely to address the QB position in the draft since the guys they have now are still under expensive contracts next year. Denver Miami Honestly, I dont see a lot of other options out there. And RG3 makes more sense to stay and backup Lamar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I live in Baltimore and it’s intereating to hear the talk radio shows. They remind me of the Bills after the 90’s where they just assume change will be for the better. The fans even acknowledge that he can’t throw from the pocket. If they move on from Flacco and Harbaugh, which I think they will, I don’t think they realize what they could be in for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Lions have a very good shot. Carolina has to play NO twice, and the Lions play the Bills, Minnesota (in Detroit), and close with GB. I think an 8-8 team gets in this season. Alternatively, if GB beats Chicago in Chicago, they have the Jets and then the Lions at home. They could get in at 8-7-1. I don't think they'll beat Chicago, but they have an X factor in Rogers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Flacco is only good during the playoffs anyway. They should have kept him on the bench all year and then start him in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Not a smart move at all imo. While I don’t think Flacco is great I always thought he was better than a lot of people gave him credit for. Aside from Boldin for a few years he never really had any WRs to throw to. I still think he gives them the best chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
