QB Joe Flacco, CLE (1 Viewer)

Joe Flacco completed 33-of-44 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns in the Colts’ 37-34, Week 5 loss to the Jaguars.

Doing the only thing he knows how to, Flacco ripped chunk gains all afternoon as his 359 yards were the third most of his “second decade” since his improbable 2023 Browns comeback. He found six different pass catchers for a conversion of at least 18 yards, and four for 20-plus. That includes 46- and 65-yard fourth quarter strikes to Alec Pierce, with the former ending up at the Jaguars’ one-yard line and the latter in the end zone. Flacco plays in-rhythm, pass-happy football in a way increasingly few signal callers do since the end of the Brees/Brady/Manning golden age. For whatever reason, he’s barely even having the turnover-fests that marred his pre-Browns years. You could argue he is easily the Colts’ best quarterback bet if they are actually interested in winning this season, but developing Anthony Richardson will probably still take the day. Richardson seems genuinely questionable with his oblique issue ahead of Week 6 against the Titans.

I mean, he's using everybody. Pittman Jr. is relevant again. Downs is relevant. He's still throwing deep to Pierce and Mitchell. Even MAC is relevant...


Joe Flacco?

I remember when Joe Flacco was drafted back in 1991.
 
When I watch him under center wearing #15 for the Colts I can't help but to get nostalgic and think of Earl Morrall. I'm even talking to the TV and my wife, saying "Come on Earl".

Joe Flacco to stay Colts QB1 despite offense's season-low output

Not exactly a confident definitive answer from the article:
"Right now, yes," Steichen replied when asked if Flacco is still his starter.

I imagine Steichen (or the bosses upstairs) won't want to immediately go back to Richardson just yet to save face. Granted, it was the Vikings in Minnesota, which is a tough matchup for anyone, but I can't imagine they'll continue to roll with Flacco for many more games if they keep losing and fall out of the race.
 
AR is one step closer to being back as starting QB. Maybe Flacco gets a pass for last night based on MIN defensive scheme is among best in the NFL. Still, there are serious questions on Flacco's decisions last night. If he lays an egg again next week and IND falls further behind the cries to let AR play through his growing pains will get very loud.

Breakdown of QB Joe Flacco’s contract with the Browns
Lots of details but a few 'interesting' particulars.
  • If Flacco is still on the 90-man roster for the last game of the season, he will get a $250,000 roster bonus.
  • The contract is a 1-year deal worth $4.25 million. He is getting the minimum base salary ($1.255 million), and his signing bonus of $1.745 million is spread out over five years (four of which are void years).
  • He’ll earn $75,000 per game in which he took 50% of the snaps and the Browns were victorious in the game. However, the first three instances that this happens, he will not earn the bonus. He’ll only earn it upon the fourth occurrence, and then also every instance thereafter.
  • If Flacco plays 80% or more of the snaps this season, he’ll earn a $1.5 million bonus. If it’s 70% to 79.9%, it’s only a $1 million bonus. And if it’s 60% to 69.9%, it’s a $500,000 bonus.
