The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets’</a> once-promising season didn’t last long. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a> tore his Achilles just four plays into the campaign, and they went from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl </a>contenders to postseason hopefuls in the blink of an eye.



Still, the Jets managed to win their first game of the season, and they had plenty of opportunities to address Rodgers’ absence by trading for or signing a veteran, yet they chose not to.



The weeks went by, and it became evident that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zach-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zach Wilson</a> still wasn’t ready to lead the way for them. Even so, Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh stood by their decision not to pursue another signal-caller, and they kept rolling with the former No. 2 pick.



Fast forward to today, and former Jets QB <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> sits on a 3-1 record with the playoff-hopeful <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns,</a> all while the Jets won’t make the playoffs at all. However, despite that, Saleh has no regrets about his decision.

<h2>Jets Have Love For Flacco, But There Are No Regrets</h2>



“I don’t think I ever let myself go there,” Saleh told Newsday. “We love Joe, first and foremost. We spent a couple of years with him, love him, love the way he prepares, really pumped for him and the success he’s having. It’s just the decision we made in terms of the quarterback room and the way we developed it over the course of OTAs and training camp. It was just a decision we made.”



Flacco wasn’t at his best during his three-year stint with the Jets, but he could’ve at least given them a veteran presence and leadership in the locker room. Now, he’s become a fan favorite in Cleveland and is having a movie-like career resurgence:



“I enjoyed my time while I was there, and it is what it is,” Flacco said. “I’m happy to be where I am, that’s for sure. There’s 32 teams in the NFL. They’re just another one. I got a lot of guys over there I really respect and had an awesome few years in that locker room. So a lot of respect for those guys.”



<h2>Football Isn’t That Simple</h2>



Of course, it’s not like Flacco would’ve led the Jets to success right away. They don’t have the same elite offensive line the Browns have, and with his lack of mobility, chances are he would’ve fared as poorly as Wilson did, but that’s something we’ll never know now.

The fact that he’s been the best quarterback for the Browns this season speaks volumes about him not being as washed as some fans and analysts said. It also proves that there was a lot more the Jets front office could’ve done to solve their situation.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231227#BUS#94459"></div>


Now, Flacco and the Browns can clinch a postseason berth with a win over his former team. And while the defense won’t make it easy for him, this Browns team has been the opposite of the Jets; they’ve been the most resilient squad in the entire league, constantly finding ways to win regardless of who’s hurt and who’s playing.

Joe Flacco is the man of the moment in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> after leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> to a new victory that brings them closer to the playoffs. The quarterback threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-27 win over Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars.



Three weeks ago, Flacco was comfortably sitting on his couch when he received the call from the Browns to sign him to their practice squad. With injuries to Deshaun Watson and the concussion suffered by Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the veteran was given the opportunity as a starter.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> champion with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> is 38 years old, but in an incredible story, he is experiencing a second wind with Cleveland. Now, the team has hopes that, backed by a great defense, they can spring a surprise.



“It feels good when people have confidence in you. Whenever you’re in a locker room, you want to gain the respect of everybody. It was a lot of fun today. It feels awesome to go out there and get the win.”

<h2>Cleveland Browns name Joe Flacco their starter for the rest of the season</h2>



After another great performance for Joe Flacco, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed the veteran will lead the offense permanently. It’s a massive announcement for the Browns as they control their destiny to get into the playoffs.


 

 


During the press conference following the victory against the Jaguars, a reporter asked Stefanski if he was ready to name Joe Flacco the starting quarterback going forward. The answer was immediate: “Yes.”



“Joe played well. You expect him to get better as he gets more comfortable in our system with our players. We want to be playing our best football in December. That’s our goal.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231126#BUS#87989"></div>


<h2>Will the Browns make the playoffs?</h2>



The Cleveland Browns are currently the No.5 seed in the AFC with an 8-5 record. This means they control their destiny to clinch a wild card spot. However, the Browns still have a shot at the AFC North chasing the Baltimore Ravens (10-3).



Their remaining schedule is pretty favorable: Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengas. If the Browns win out, they’re in at least as the best wild card.

Cleveland Browns confirm who will be starting quarterback in their Super Bowl run - Bolavip US

It appears <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> is seamlessly integrating into the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a>. Confirmed as the starter for Week 13, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/amari-cooper" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amari Cooper’s</a> praise for the quarterback has sparked considerable optimism among fans.



Before the start of the 2023 NFL season, Browns fans were eagerly anticipating <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deshaun-watson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deshaun Watson</a> leading the offense. However, his season-ending injury a few weeks ago triggered the alarms throughout Cleveland.



Dorian Thompson-Robinson immediately took the starting quarterback role with Watson out for the remainder of the season. However, the rookie suffered a concussion in Week 12 and now everything will rely on a veteran player: Joe Flacco.



<h2>Amari Cooper has high praises for Joe Flacco, new starting QB of the Browns</h2>



Joe Flacco has made a return to the AFC North. Having had a remarkable career with the Baltimore Ravens, the quarterback is back in a division he knows inside out, now suiting up for the Browns.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231130#BUS#88850"></div>


When the team received news of Deshaun Watson’s season-ending injury, they made the decision to sign Flacco as backup for Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Unfortunateluy, the rookie hasn’t had the strongest start, currently holding a record of 1-2.



Regrettably, the Thompson-Robinson won’t be available for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams due to being in concussion protocol. For this reason, Joe Flacco has been named the starter for this crucial matchup against the NFC West team.



Amari Cooper, the star wide receiver of the Browns, has offered a glimmer of hope to the team’s fans. Having practiced with Flacco throughout the entire week, the wideout believes that the veteran quarterback is an ideal fit for their team.



“He throws a very pretty ball,” Cooper said, via Pro Football Talk. “I don’t know if it’s intentional or what, but when he drops back and lets it go, the whole motion is like poetry in motion. It looks good.



“When you’ve been playing a game for almost 20 years, you have so much knowledge,” Cooper added. “That knowledge is power and it just makes things easier out there. So the game is going to be very slow to him, 100%. It’s just better.“


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231130#BUS#88783"></div>


These words definitely give Browns fans high hopes. The team is currently on pace to be in the playoffs as a Wild Card round team. However, if their last games are perfect, they could still aspire to win the AFC North title and avoid this phase.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> are still in the hunt for the AFC North title. The team wants to have a perfect end of the 2023 regular season, and now they are preparing a bold roster move involving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-flacco" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Flacco</a> to fight for it.



The Browns have had an incredible year, earning recognition as one of the top teams in the AFC. Their formidable defense has showcased dominance against some of the league’s most formidable offenses.



However, it’s been the offense that faced numerous setbacks this season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deshaun-watson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deshaun Watson</a>, their starting quarterback, sustained a season-ending injury a few weeks ago, prompting the team to seek the best replacement to fill the void.



<h2>Report: Browns set to use Joe Flacco as starter in Week 13</h2>



Cleveland is still aiming to secure the AFC North title. To achieve this, they require a near-perfect end to the season while relying on the Ravens and Steelers to stumble, allowing them to avoid the Wild Card round.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231127#BUS#88280"></div>


However, making the playoffs via this route wouldn’t be the worst outcome for the Browns. Their last trip to the next phase was in 2020, when they defeated the Steelers in the Wild Card game but ultimately fell to the Chiefs in the Divisional match.



It seems like, even though they don’t get the AFC North title, the Browns will be in the playoffs as a Wild Card team. Unfortunately, they won’t have their starting quarterback available for this big challenge.



Deshaun Watson’s 2023 season came to an abrupt end after suffering a high-ankle sprain and a right shoulder problem a few weeks ago. Dorian Thompson-Robinson stepped in as his replacement, but the rookie might also be sidelined for their upcoming game.



As per ESPN reports, the rookie quarterback, who has started in three games for the Browns, is currently in concussion protocol. Consequently, the team has promoted Joe Flacco as the new backup, and there’s a possibility the veteran could start in Week 13 against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a>.

Flacco, 38, joined the Browns recently due to Watson’s season-ending injuries. He played the 2022 season with the New York Jets, but only started in four games for the AFC East team.



Thompson-Robinson’s rookie season hasn’t been stellar, with a 1-2 record in his three starts. Flacco boasts extensive AFC North experience, having played 11 years with the Ravens. It appears the Browns seek his seasoned expertise to aid their quest for success and a smooth playoff advancement.



<h2>How many Super Bowls has Joe Flacco won?</h2>



Joe Flacco, the experienced quarterback known for his tenure with the Ravens, notably secured a Super Bowl victory in the XLVII edition. His performance during that championship game was impressive, earning him the title of Super Bowl MVP for his contributions to his team’s win over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231115#BUS#85581"></div>


Since that memorable win, Flacco has been a respected figure in the NFL, renowned for his playoff successes and strong performances, even though he hasn’t clinched another Super Bowl victory since that impressive triumph.

The moment we’ve been waiting for is here. The 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season has finally started, and all teams are already looking forward to achieving the ultimate goal: to make the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>.



Of course, only two teams will make the big game, but no one can give up yet. 32 quarterbacks have the mission of leading their respective franchises as far as possible, which is why they’ll be under the microscope from now on.



In the meantime, other signal-callers who are still unsigned wait to see if an opportunity shows up. Joe Flacco, for instance, is not giving up yet as he still believes he can compete in the league.



<h2>Former Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco waiting for another chance in the NFL</h2>



After spending the last three seasons with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets</a>, where he mostly served as backup, Flacco hit free agency. Even at 38, the veteran quarterback believes in himself.



“Listen, I can still play,” Flacco told ESPN. “That’s me talking, obviously. I’m hoping that there’s the silver lining that I’m not anywhere right now and that I can be available to anybody. I’m not saying it’s going to be the truth, but if I was tied up with somebody as a backup and just didn’t play at all when all of a sudden three guys go down, well, I’d probably be in the back of my head be thinking, ‘Oh, man, would I have had an opportunity to go there?’



“So I do think that at the point that my career is in, it is a positive thing in a lot of ways that I’m not anywhere right now, because if somebody does need somebody, at least I’m available.



“I still believe that I have all of the athletic and physical tools to do it. In terms of the quarterback and the mental part of it, I’ve only gotten better over the last 15 years. So I feel just as physical as I ever have. I mean, not to say that I’m not 27, 28 years old anymore. But I’m in great shape and I don’t see a real drop-off.”

Vaccination status has raised plenty of controversies around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL </a>this season.

Vaccinated players need to abide by certain rules, while unvaccinated players need to follow different protocols. Simply put, being vaccinated gives you a bit of an edge when it comes to the players’ day-to-day routine.
That’s why former Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco didn’t want to leave any sort of room for speculation. Now that he’ll beback under center for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Jets,</a> he admitted that he hasn’t taken the jab.

<h2>Joe Flacco Says He’s Not Vaccinated, Wants To Avoid Being A Distraction</h2>
“I’m not vaccinated. I definitely have my reasons,” Flacco said, as quoted by ProFootballTalk. “Honestly, I probably like to talk about this topic more than anybody. It’s one of those things that you debate with all the time. But overall I’ve felt like it’s more of a distraction than anything. So I feel like to kind of talk about it too much and give you all my beliefs, is more of a distraction than anything. I think the most important thing is going to play the football game.”
 
<div class="ck-related-news">

<h2>Flacco Says He’ll Follow NFL Protocol</h2>
Flacco didn’t want to read too much into Aaron Rodgers’ situation. He wore a mask during his press conference and promised to follow the league’s health and safety protocols as long as he’s out there:
“I mean, we all know what the rules are,” the veteran QB added. “So when those things happen, we’ve all been told what the protocols are, and we’ve all been following the protocols. If you want to go out there and play the game you love, you have to do what you have to do.”
The Jets will need as much help as they can from Flacco to try and get their third win of the season. The third-stringer will get the nod over injured QBs Zach Wilson and Mike White, and hopefully, he’ll be able to turn back the clock and shut down the doubters.
