  • I think this is the best of the remaining veteran options. Cousins doesn't excite me at all, & Flacco is familiar with the coaching staff & players.

    Let's ink Chubb by noon.

  •  Had best invest heavily in fixing the Oline and running game now.   But it's nice to see old Joe. 

  • Sweet. Run it back.

    Is this what excited Garrett? Lol. 

  • Now do you see a QB in the second tier of QBs worth using a pick on to sit behind flacco or do we just wait until next year?

  • Just saw this news. Flaccomania is back!

    I think they have to draft a QB. 

    If, and yes given their draft record it's a stretch, they draft smartly by positions of need, they can get a QB at 33. I doubt they grab one at 2.

    Two would mean Sanders and he's not sitting behind anyone. 

    33 you've got more options. But that 33rd pick could still be a starter at another position 

  • #2 Carter , #33 Henderson , #67 Howard

  • #2 Carter , #33 Henderson , #67 Howard

    Not sure about Carter,,,I think Sanders.  Henders at 33 would be great...or any of about 3-4 more backs.  I am beginning to think Howard might be the guy.  He would certainly benefit from having Flacco in the room.  Flacco will be the best QB out there to help groom a rookie.

    I'm ok with Sanders at 2, but something tells me he would sit at least a month. It may depend on where the BYE week is. 

    He ( or whomever QB they draft) will definitely see the field in 2025.

    Health withstanding, you don't want your rookie starting until week 8, at bare minimum.  Preferably a full year. 

     But there's solid Flacco then *real* bad Flacco.   As much love as the fans seem to have for Joe- they're a fickle bunch.    Some back picks and blown games will erase all of that good will fast. 

  • With this news, I think there are two options I'd go with:

    1. draft Hunter, but he may actually be taken by Tenn. at one, unless they also trade down.

    2. Trade down. I'm not sold on taking Carter at 2 - it's a very strong Edge draft. So,

         trade down a bit, and as much as I want them to draft Tyler Warren, I also want them to draft Josh Simmons, LT. I would love Warren at maybe ten, and trade back up into the first round and get Simmons, who may not be there in the second at all. With a trade down, we could pick up an extra third round pick - giving us three. Depending on what we could get in a trade down, maybe an extra pick next year, which would help the Browns trade up to get the qb they want.

    Draft a qb with a third round pick, go defense the rest of the way.

    I just don't know, it's complicated this year. lol

  • Glad to see we have at least a viable option at QB on the roster now. My opinion is they should draft Carter, he is probably the best player in the draft. I would be OK with Hunter too. I think we don't have to worry about Sanders being the pick at 2 which in my opinion is a good thing.

    Flacco's got a one year contract.  Perfect for Sanders to sit behind.  IF...they like Sanders.  If they don't then give Flacco Hunter.

    I just see his dad making noise haha. A circus. 

    Sitting absolutely makes sense, just hardly happens these days

    Absolutely no way Hunter goes 1. If for some insane reason he does you take Ward at 2

    Certainly could be a circus because of sitting behind Flacco.
