Flacco Traded
-
I'm not into people being unemployed but my goodness, trading within the division? These guys are Ivy Leaguers?
Is this 2017 all over again( Kizer,Kessler, Hogan)?
That’s rare, but seriously how much longer is Flacco playing?
And I’m more convinced now than ever that Kenny Pickett would’ve been the starter if he hadn’t got injured in training camp.
And I’m more convinced now than ever that Kenny Pickett would’ve been the starter if he hadn’t got injured in training camp.
I believed that all along. They traded for him before doing anything else at QB. I'm confident that they expected him to start. Later when they brought in Flacco it was the thinking that hey, he's available, we're going to draft Gabriel (or someone like him) and that would be their 3 QB's. But we all know what happened on draft Saturday. Adding Shedeure necessitated a plan B strategy.
I'm guessing what happened was, Pickett injured his hammy and it didn't get better in time...and during that time they saw Gabriel practicing and felt like he was doing pretty well...certainly absorbing the playbook and being mature. If Pickett wouldn't have gotten hurt things would've been a bit different. I bet they'd have kept all 4 QB's going into the regular season.
I also feel that they wanted to see Gabriel at helm at some point (if it turned out that Pickett was NOT going to be the next comeback player of the year). But they really needed him was for the beginning of the season...and when it looked like he was too far behind with the injury they just decided that Flacco would be the early season QB.

Cincys Oline is, across the board, measurably worse. Especially on the IOL.
Unless Joe shaves off 15 years along with Chase and Higgy catching every single 50/50 ball imaginable, Joe is going to take as many, likely more, hits and sacks than he did in CLE.
If he doesnt, then expect another high turnover stretch from him.
Per the usual, he'll have one decent game... fans will go nuts on both sides for different reasons, then he'll fade back to the mean and people will magically forget their uproar.
Yeah the twilight is passing right before Joe's eyes.. I thank him for what he's done here but it's time for him to ride into the sunset... He's a good dude!

Yep!! Amazing injection of energy in 2023. Too bad they cut him loose in 2024, dumb move.

He may be the only QB in NFL history to have played for 3 teams in the same division.
Next stop Pittsburgh for a clean sweep? Not a chance. They ain’t that stupid. But I’d love to see him fuck up there.

I just read that there's only been 3 QB trades in NFL history within the division.
*McNabb from Philly to Washington
*Bledsoe from New England to Buffalo
*Flacco from CLE to Cincy

Although not a trade, Packers QB Brent Favre signed with division rival Vikings as a free agent.
So I did a quick search and Flacco wasn’t the only one. AI says that Jim McMahon had also played for 3 teams in the same division.
Jim McMahon: Spent time with the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers, all of whom play in the NFC North.

Part of the trade was QB Dick Shiner, who went from the Browns to the Steelers.
Yes, Dick Shiner.

Its like no one watched him in Indy last year, or Indy this year with Daniel Jones.

I fully expect Flacco to crush it in Cincy now
That might be the final nail in the coffin that gets a lot of people fired in the organization

Until then, Jimmy's FO continues to celebrate unchallenged tenure in Cleveland while the musical scapegoats continue. Anyway, last year the Colts signed Flacco and after an impressive 1st 3 games - see the rest as well as the volume of sacks (slow processing). I didn't include his rushing stats because he didn't have any TDs. More specifically, a Cinderella story starring a 39 year old QB is gonna have a very early midnight.
I'm not saying I saw this coming; but 1 year later - the Colts signed Indiana Jones. Here's how he's done as their QB fwiw (notice the change in sacks from quicker processing of passer). In fairness, I don't think anyone projected this for Daniel Jones. That said, the 1 team that put in the research looks to be rewarded for doing so at least for now. I think Sam Darnold's season in Minnesota last year proved the right situation/fit for a QB can improve the QB's chance for success:
-
I bet he wanted to go somewhere he can play, it's probably his last year before retirement.
We suck and wanna ride with the rookies the rest of the way.

So long Joe and best of luck, but not too much luck since it’s the Bengals and all…
The sequel to Flaccomania wasn’t nearly as good as the original, but that is often the case with sequels.

Isn’t it funny how Pitts and the Browns essentially swapped places.

Is @dutch-oven right about you? It is true that anyone that is tough doesn't need to hide their head under a white sheet when they leave their house.

I don’t know what that was supposed be all about but yeah, they suck! Tomlin sucks!
They hadn’t won a playoff game since what 2016?
All those fuckers have are “Tomlinships” … no losing seasons …well big fucking deal. Thanks Rooney, keep what many perceive as “the greatest coach ever” in Pittsburgh.
