Shocking Revelation: Surprising Figure Secretly Wishing for New Browns QB Joe Flacco to Fail! You Won’t Believe Who!

When Joe Flacco, the new quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, stepped onto the field last Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, various expectations surrounded the 38-year-old signal caller.

Questions arose about potential rust, considering Flacco hadn’t played in an actual game since Week 17 of the 2022 season with the New York Jets. Concerns also lingered about how a 38-year-old would fare in a game dominated by younger players. These uncertainties were addressed during the game as Flacco displayed a solid performance, showcasing more than mere game management skills, despite an unfortunate interception.

Doubts about his arm strength were met with mixed results, as Flacco occasionally overshot receivers, including intentional throws to avoid sacks. However, his arm strength itself was no longer a question, evident in the tight spirals and excellent spin of his passes.

The inquiry into Flacco’s mobility revealed that while he might not gain significant yardage with his legs, he displayed the ability to navigate the pocket when pressured. His scrambles showcased good reads, allowing him to find open receivers, including a notable “butt catch.”

As Flacco remains on the practice squad and is considered the emergency QB3, the question of whether he can sustain a full season for the Browns was raised. Against the Rams, he demonstrated composure, adept progressions, and the ability to sustain drives.

Post-game, the reaction from Browns’ fans was notable. Prior to the match, a significant portion of fans leaned towards rookie QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (DTR) taking over for the remainder of the year. However, DTR is currently in concussion protocol, and it remains uncertain when he’ll be cleared to play. Even if he is, there is a divided opinion among fans on whether to stick with the seasoned veteran Flacco for the rest of 2023.

Adding an intriguing twist to the situation, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh openly expressed a desire for Flacco to fail against the Rams.
