The Cleveland Browns have named Joe Flacco, at age 40, as their starting quarterback for Week 1 instead of rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shadeur Sanders. Flacco, returning for a second stint with the team, is expected to offer stability, especially with Kenny Pickett sidelined due to a hamstring injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter indicated that this selection may grant the Browns time to evaluate Gabriel and Sanders for the future. Ryan Clark stated that Flacco's return is significant, likening it to a resurrection and highlighting the comfort factor with his experience.
Joe Flacco must have the faith of a mustard seed, right? Because this is the greatest resurrection since Jesus the Christ. Like, at some point, Joe Flacco was thinking about getting into TV, right? Joe Flacco didn't have a job. And then, now, you not only coming back and starting for the Cleveland Browns late in the 2023 season, but they came back around to you and you're now the day one starter for a franchise that just two years ago was in the playoffs.
The decision to start Flacco over the rookies reflects a choice based on comfort. This was about the devil I know. I know the stability I'm going to get in Joe Flacco.
