So "White is the starter" is the line for now. See how he plays, and if he is Luke Falk/Bryce Petty/Greg McElroy/Matt Simms level bad, then go to Flacco in another week or two. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of the Darnold trade, Douglas’s handling of the QB room has been puzzling. I never knew you to be one for euphemisms.

I mean, it's one thing to bring him in to start, but if Mike White is the guy then why not just promote Josh Johnson? I mean how much worse can he be than Mike White? Only thing I can think of is Flacco needs a couple of weeks to learn the ropes and will start if ZW is out an extended period of time. everything about this staff is a head scratcher.....if you were looking for a backup QB and didnt want to promote the practice squad guy...why not sign Cam Newton?

RevisIsland610 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Could have signed Flacco or a number of vet QB's for no assets for 6 months before the season started. Major fail by JD. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesr Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 There's not enough time for Flacco to start vs Cincy, then we have a short week before we play Indy. I'd guess it's White for these two then reassess after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTL Jet Fan Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Who cares at this point, agree with above posters let White play until JF is up to speed. Hopefully he can help Zach out in some way and he can be on the sideline with ZW when he gets back. We might as well sit the kid until this OL can stop the Black Friday Walmart door breach.

The Crusher Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I actually wanted Flacco out of Delaware. Got to see him play in college a few times. Not sure if I still buy the mentor myth, but if he could help Zach play up to 70% how he played in the pre-season they won the Super Bowl? I’d take it. Not trying to be funny, but he threw a lot to Steve Smith Sr, so maybe he can help Zach learn to throw to Elijah Moore better. If Moore can be 70% of what Steve Smith Sr. was, that would be nice too. Hmmmm, Moore is an inch taller than Smith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdfodder Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 The season is over..time to count your inventory and see what you have to draft better. Flacco’s here to back up and mentor.

He is worse than Flacco. He is a running QB that can't run and has a bum shoulder. There is a reason he is currently unemployed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodGreen Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 My guess is this is JD admitting his error in not having a legit veteran backup to teach Wilson the ropes. Better late than never. Flacco may not be Brady or Manning but he still has a ring, Super Bowl MVP and Rookie of the Year on his resume, and has shown he can still be competent when called upon from the backup QB role. At his age and with this OL I am guessing he is not all that unhappy with being the backup to White for now, and his presence on the team may be more about helping both Wilson and White develop into their roles as QB 1 and QB 2. Even if Cam Newton didn’t possess a noodle arm at this stage, he would not have fit the role the way Flacco can. I like Newton a lot, but he would want to start and be “the guy” and I don’t think would ever take a spot as the guy behind the guy. Certain players would never sit still in a teaching role, Aaron Rodgers is another that comes to mind. No matter what team he is on, he would always in his mind be the man.
