Not only is Flacco an elite quarterback, now his throwing is “poetry in motion”!

The hyperbole is at an all time high.

The team is on their 4th QB of the season (probably), defensive star Denzel Ward and defensive PoY candidate Garrett are out or unlikely to start, the league's best RB, Nick Chubb, has been out since Week 2, yet somehow they sit at 7-4. Of course they're going to say the guy who was sitting on his couch last week is 'poetry in motion'.

Who had Joe Flacco starting a game for the Browns on their 2023 NFL bingo card?

I mean ... I think everybody? This is the Browns, after all. For the record, Cam Newton is still in play for week 16.

Edit: that reminds me. Should we start a pool for which quarter of which game Flacco gets broken into multiple parts and goes on IR? Totally serious. Or are we all just going to pick quarter 3 of this week?

I mean, they're playing Aaron Donald and Joe was eating cheetos in the barcalounger last week. I'm saying that poetry in motion gives way to PJ Walker by at least halftime.

Then the question is, who's more football ready: Cam or Kaepernick?

That made me laugh

Still waiting on Miles Garrett news. Trying to decide whether or not to start Kyren WIlliams in fantasy against this Browns D this week. If Garrett is out, its a definite yes. Dude allegedly couldn't lift his arm up to put a shirt on 5 days ago, could he play on Sunday???

[BmillsSkier]

A quick google shows me this has been under serious consideration for at least a couple years. This pic from a 2020 article titled, "Why the Browns signing Cam Newton wouldn't be such a dumpster fire". Gotta love that optimism in Cleveland.

The Browns have found their quarterback.

Atta boy, that's the spirit.

ELITE

The announcer just said that Cleveland’s tush push would be called the “Brown Pound” um……..

[BmillsSkier]

Motherfucker, shit damnit fuck ass fuck shit.

[EWG]

The Browns have found their quarterback.

Welcome back BMills. I hope you had a nice couple of quarters.

That said, that was not bad for a first game. Without Cooper. Or Garret.

Or Ward.

Or Conklin. Or Wills. Or Chubb.

Trouble is they are running out of games.

Not going to lie, the ball ELITE quarterback Flacco throws is probably the prettiest I’ve seen in a Browns uniform since Tim Couch.

He looks fucking poised back there scanning the options too. Again, not a familiar sight. Just like the play action 35+ yard deep balls. Do other teams get to enjoy such things?

But as you correctly point out, we’re running out of playmakers, and time. You can only go so far with your 4th QB and 2nd, 3rd or 4th option at key positions.

Ugh. I hope it’s a fucking blizzard this week and Jacksonville shows up in flip flops.

Pass the Woodford.

Flacco bringing you all down the field just to miss the kick was *chef’s kiss* heartbreaker

We do things different in brown and orange.

We do things different in brown and orange.

To illustrate this:

Right now, 6 of 11 offensive starters for the season opener are either hurt or no longer with the team. Of the 6 replacements, 2 of those are hurt.

On defense it's only 2 of 11 missing, but both of those guys are pro bowlers.

It's almost like Navin Johnson's favorite cans in The Jerk; every time a new player steps up to fill a void, someone just shoots them because... the universe hates the Browns.

There's no way in hell this franchise could weather an 18 game season. We'd have janitors, work-release inmates and some of the Cavs' bench players out there just trying to field a team.

Crazy football stat - Jacksonville is 1-12 since 2018 in games played under 45 degrees.

Cleveland is going to completely crash the playoffs, aren't they?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Crippled up Trevor Lawrence starting, Myles Garrett is going to eat very well today.

[RShea]

The Browns have found their quarterback.

Which one? ;-) Seems like unless you are doing fantasy football picks or reading their weekly Browns articles and injury reports you never know which one of 4 or 5 Quarterbacks could be the starter for the week and who knows what the depth chart looks like at any point.

The Browns QB depth chart is a circle.

And it’s working today.

ELITE.

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Browns QB position is a meat grinder.

[Diamond Joe]

Joe Flacco = Elite

[EWG]

Compared to every other Cleveland QB since their return to the league?

Yes. Absolutely ELITE.
