Let’s not forget about Joe Flacco

Joe Flacco is alive

By: Jake Rajala

Philip Rivers is all over the news for being a “44” year old QB. Even the “42” year old QB, Aaron Rodgers, got in on the fun by giving his take on the “mainstream” news. Well, let’s not forget there is another old QB that deserves attention. This would be none other Joe “Cool” Flacco, also known as the QB who has a Super Bowl trophy, which can’t be said by Rivers.

Flacco could be competing at a place that could be his true home for a couple of seasons. Joe Burrow has expressed that he is no longer having fun throwing a football for “hundreds of millions of dollars”. Wouldn’t it be a scene to witness the 29 year old, Joe Burrow, pass the torch to 40 year old Joe Flacco? Many may say it’s a lock to get a future first overall pick. Well, I believe Flacco would be more competitive than someone like Rivers or Justin Fields.

Then again, it wouldn’t be a complete surprise if Flacco hung up his cleats after this season. If this comes to fruition, then they are stuck with Jake Browning right now. I believe the Bengals fan base would rather see Carson Palmer come out of retirement than Browning play another down for them.

If the Bengals decide that they don’t want Flacco, who has a 2-8 record for them, and he decides to play another season, he will have to seek another home. Perhaps he could be the backup to a team that has a real chance of winning the Super Bowl. This team could be the Indianapolis Colts! If Rivers can come back from the dead for them, then Flacco could follow in the footsteps of Matt Ryan and Rivers by playing a few seasons for them.

Joe Burrow isn’t having fun anymore

Burrow is sad

As widely reported, Joe Burrow doesn’t appear to be having fun with the game of football anymore. He has a Top-3 wide receiver tandem (in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins), and he would be pushing for a playoff spot if he didn’t get hurt this season. Yet, he has Andrew Luck syndrome and could retire at 29, which happened to be the same age that Luck hung up his cleats.

Perhaps Burrow would be having fun if he could smoke cigars in the Bengals locker room (just as he did after the CFB Championship). It’s not fair that he can’t couldn’t rip a stogie before a game.

Hendrickson and Burrow can’t be happy with their defense, which gives up more points than any other team. Burrow knows how his idol, Drew Brees, felt after he had many years with the worst NFL defense.

I know Burrow would be having more fun if he wasn’t missing his second former LSU pal, Justin Jefferson. Let it be known that Jefferson isn’t exactly having a lot of fun with the potentially worst starting QB in the league in J.J. McCarthy. The swap would still be a pipe dream, given that Jefferson is the Vikings best player by a long shot. The potential Jefferson trade from the Vikings would have to be more dull than the Cowboys shipping off Micah Parsons.
