The Cleveland Browns may finally have an elite quarterback.
It’s funny that for the most part of his career, there was always that debate about whether Joe Flacco was elite or not.
Sometimes, the eye test made you feel like he was undeniably one of the best in the league.
Regardless of how one might feel about him or not, numbers don’t lie, and the numbers put him right there near the mountaintop in several categories.
As pointed out by NFL on CBS on Twitter, he’s one of the few players to log at least ten playoff wins and 25 passing touchdowns in the postseason, joining the likes of some legends like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Patrick Mahomes, Terry Bradshaw, and John Elway.
Needless to say, the fans had plenty to say when they found out about Flacco being a part of this very exclusive list.
Joe flacco is also awesome

Flacco wins a Super Bowl w the Browns. Good weapons offensively. Great O line. D is solid. Well coached. He’s on the 19th hole of his career (or his Mother’s couch) but he’s fearless. If he limits the TOs they can make a run. Crazy but he strolls into Canton if that happens. 💪

Flacco leads all NFL starters with 15 postseason games

It’s crazy to think that Browns fans would be rooting for Flacco, of all people, in 2024, but here we are.
He was sitting on his couch just two months ago, and he now has the team’s postseason hopes hanging on his shoulders.
Flacco proved that he was far from done, and while he obviously wasn’t the first or even second choice for this team, you could definitely do a lot worse than having him under center once the playoffs start.
