The Cleveland Browns have named Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback for their upcoming game day. This is a major move for the Browns, as Flacco has been a successful quarterback in the NFL for over a decade.
Flacco is a veteran quarterback who has been in the league since 2008. He was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens and was their starting quarterback for nine seasons. During his time with the Ravens, Flacco led them to a Super Bowl victory in 2012 and was named Super Bowl MVP. He also holds the record for most passing yards in a single game (477 yards).
Flacco has had a successful career in the NFL, but he has been hampered by injuries in recent years. After being released by the Ravens in 2018, Flacco signed with the Denver Broncos and started eight games for them last season. However, he was benched in favor of rookie Drew Lock and was eventually released by the team in March of this year.
The Browns have been searching for a starting quarterback since they traded away former starter Baker Mayfield. They have been linked to several veteran quarterbacks, including Flacco, but it appears that they have finally settled on him as their starter.
Flacco will be joining a Browns team that is looking to make a playoff run this season. The team has added several key pieces this offseason, including wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., running back Kareem Hunt, and defensive end Olivier Vernon. With Flacco at the helm, the Browns could be a dangerous team in the AFC North.
Flacco is no stranger to success and he will be looking to bring his winning experience to the Browns. He has the arm strength and accuracy to make plays downfield, and he should be able to take advantage of the weapons that the Browns have added this offseason. If he can stay healthy, Flacco could be the missing piece that the Browns need to make a deep playoff run.
