we are stuck with flacco for at least one more year
I know we have to PAY Flacco for one more year but that doesn't mean we have to PLAY him next year. I don't understand why everyone assumes we have to start him.
He is rated as one of the worst QBs in the league this year ahead of a few rookies we may never see again after this season, and I think that's an accurate position for him. I really think we should try Woodrum, even if he ends up playing worse than any other QB in the league, the sad thing is that it wouldn't be much of a drop off from what we're getting out of Joe. And it could be better - at least he's mobile.
Even if we're not in postion to pick a rookie starter in the draft, we'd be better off playing a journeyman back up like Keenan or Fitzpatrick than the Flacco we've seen for the past 2 years. He looks terrified whenever he sees a rusher ever since the ACL, even though it wasn't a hit that injured him. I've never seen a QB play more afraid since the Jacksonville version of Gabbert.
We have to pay Joe but I'd have him as the overpriced backup until he shows some improvement.
