NFL hot seat: 5 quarterbacks who could lose starting jobs in 2019
By Peter Panacy
No. 3: Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
Gosh, the Baltimore Ravens need to turn the page on veteran quarterback Joe Flacco. And it’s probably time to move on from head coach John Harbaugh too. He’s tied to Flacco’s performance, which took another hit in Week 9 after going 23-of-37 for 209 yards and no touchdowns in the Ravens’ 23-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Ravens made overtures they were going to move on from Flacco sooner than later, moving up to grab former Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson at the tail end of Round 1 in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Flacco must hate Jackson. If you’re wondering if that’s the case, just watch this.
That’s either Flacco being totally inept, or it’s an example of just how disgruntled the veteran is about the promising rookie.
Either way, it’s a direct indication Flacco’s time in Baltimore is coming to a close.
And, boy. 2012 sure seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it.
