He was on the Eagles because the jets did not offer him a contract then we had to trade to get him. A big fail by Douglas. I think it went down like this, douglas wanted him back, saleh and his guys said don't need a vet then once we had the injury the jets panicked. Flacco is awful and should not be on this team at all. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was absolutely a catastrophic mistake to not have a veteran QB on the roster to mentor Zach Wilson. Say what you want about him, but he was still a 23 year old kid from the suburbs of Utah. Everyone pounded on the Jets for going through the summer without a safety net guy. Hughes reported recently that Douglas tried to get a veteran (Hoyer, iirc) to sign here in that role, but nobody wanted to do it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to go out and pay a premium in-season to bring John Beck in to be his binkie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacco is awful and should not be on this team at all. Lol I’m well aware of what happened. Just of curiosity who would you have wanted over Flacco? I agree trading for Flacco was silly, they should have just resigned him last offseason. Flacco imo was better than any of the FA’s available and the cost to get him back wasn’t that high. It was only what a 6th round pick, right? He brought the Vet presence JD wanted and also, was a proven super bowl winning QB when he was in his prime. So, for Zach that’s an ideal situation, getting to pick the brain of a former super bowl mvp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I just hope we have a better #2 when games start to matter, because Joe "2-11 the last three years" Flacco just isn't a reliable backup QB at the NFL level anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
