Browns Sign Joe Flacco to Practice Squad
-
The YouTube clip @neo posted is only from one year ago like he said, and Joe accurately carved up our secondary like a friggin Thanksgiving turkey!
Once again, in almost 200 attempts last season, Flacco completed passes at a paltry 57% rate for a miniscule 5.5 yards per attempt.
Basing your enthusiasm over one game vs a Joe Woods lead Browns defense that at the beginning of the season was blowing one pass defense assignment after another is possibly a little optimistic.
That being said, there has to be definite progress in DTR in the coming weeks, or a move to Flacco has to be made. We can't depend on the defense to be great every week.

I don't think anyone expects Flacco to start when they signed him. The plan would be to keep him on the practice sqaud as long as possible so he can learn the offense. It's going to be DTR unless he can't go or COMPLETELY shits the bed which I don't expect given his progress from the Baltimore game. Then it will be PJ Walker, then if need be Flacco. If we do make a playoff run, we will need that experience to have any kind of chance.
The video I posted wasn't about hyping Flacco but more to show that he can still lead and make throws. I can sleep easier knowing he's around if it comes to that.

Browns dont activate Joe Flacco. Its DTR & PJ Walker at QB v Broncos.Browns dont activate Joe Flacco. Its DTR & PJ Walker at QB v Broncos.
Smart move. I don't it would be a great idea elevating him until they feel like he has a good grasp of things. No need to rush things.

But you know what will have you sleeping well ? well let me tell ya. on offense Watson and Chubb will be back . on defense everyone is locked up except Delphit(contract year) and Z Smith (only signed a one year deal) and of course are coaching staff. will = A Super Bowl Run. so ya you should have sweet dreams for over a year

Just another thought, this team has fully bought in. You can tell by their play and the kind of games that we have won. This is starting to feel like a move that will keep them believing if we continue to have adversity at QB. A Super Bowl MVP that can step in and lead and make plays. They need to do everything they can to get Flacco up to speed and keep DTR in as long as possible.

To me, the only questions are rust and playbook. If Flacco shakes off any rust, and gets familiar with our playbook (possibly tailored slightly more to him), choosing of Flacco over DTR to win us games this year seems self-evident.
Get JF familiar with WR/TE speed/ depth of routes in playbook.. (not easy with DTR getting most the starting reps)
You'd think Stef would be wise to get Flacco running parts of Brissette's playbook ? (Our two new tackles and few, would need time to learn it)
These are a huge pair of road games for DTR... (rookie QB starting on a 50 man playoff teams roster? tons of pressure..
Adding Flacco feels a hell of a lot better as a QB safety net option, than where we were at weeks ago..

Completely agree that the playbook will have to be customized for Flacco, who is a lot less mobile than Watson or DTR.
Probably also explains why he hasn't been activated yet, because that will take time. Fully expect him to become the starter at some point in the season though, for reasons mentioned in my previous comments.

It's kind of a bummer DTR got hurt. I didn't think he was the real reason behind our struggles today. He wasn't GREAT, but I thought he was progressing. Get Ready Joe, you won't have long to throw and you can't move.

I think Joe has never had an issue getting rid of it quickly, his problem is more of getting it delivered accurately. Except in the playoffs where he became Tom Brady and got a fat contract

And your receivers will keep dropping balls.

It's high time to find Njoku's replacement.. His awareness.. Or lack thereof.. Is downright frustrating.... His ME's come by the bag full.. I'm sick of him...

He’s so great, when he actually catches it. Unfortunately, catching it is more important than what you do after you catch it.

The browns losing to Denver is what it is, I don’t think we can point fingers at stefanski at strong at Walker. Shit happens. If this team doesn’t manage 3 more wins and a wild card they would be the biggest collapse in NFL history.
We’re destined to be a wild card, Joe Flacco is destined to meme the ravens at M&T bank stadium in the playoffs.
Joe Flacco knocks out the ravens on the way to his second Super Bowl MVP. Ultimate fan fiction

Just for the record, nobody really wants Flacco starting. It's unfortunate DTR got hurt. Now the Browns may have to start him just to stave off any kind of losing skid. If Flacco gets hurt, then what? Does anyone really want PJ Walker or Harrison Bryant starting a playoff game for the Browns? We can only hope DTR is back ASAP.

Didn't want to see any of our players get hurt, but definitely done with DTR starting. That leaves Flacco, because PJ is just a train wreck. Hopefully DTR recovers soon, but only to be Flacco's back-up.

Well when you eat Butterfingers for breakfast it tends to make you Swartzlike in your yards after no catch.???
