We have spent years on this meme: Is Joe Flacco elite?
It was meant to be a joke (I think), but it’s grown throughout the years, in all sorts of ways we never could have predicted.
He won a Super Bowl and the championship game’s MVP with the Baltimore Ravens (elite!). He then became a veteran journeyman who struggled in Denver and New York with the Broncos and Jets (not elite!).
And then? Well, last year happened with the Cleveland Browns — he helped lead them to a playoff berth after four wins in five starts. He looked pretty darn good.
And now? He’s the starting QB for the Indianapolis Colts, replacing the struggling Anthony Richardson. The Colts’ passing offense looks A LOT better with him under center.
This late-career swing has reignited the debate: is Joe Flacco really elite? Guess we’ll see the rest of this year.
