Jets Make a Trade to Bring Back Flacco

[Ian]

Because this was too funny to bury in the Jets thread:

Eagles trade Joe Flacco to Jets, Gardner Minshew promoted to backup

The Eagles have traded backup quarterback Joe Flacco to the New York Jets. By Dave Zangaro

It's funny, I groaned when he originally went to Denver because I felt like he still had a few good years left and with their defense, they'd be a problem again. However, for everyone talking about "the cliff" - talk about a guy who fell off it, and fast. Fortunately, he stayed out of Brady's way and wasn't an issue while he was there. But it's amazing how he plummeted at the end...seems fitting he'll be back there again and I'm sure White isn't pleased.

they should have tried to get Minshew instead of flacco

what's the problem...you mean Vinnie Testaverde wasn't available?

This is going to be Jimmy bouncing around the league as a backup when the 49ers finally cut bait with him.

I hovered over the laughing emoticon then thought no, there has to be a mercy rule even for the JETE, and picked the crying one. But lullz. Shh. Don't tell anybody.

The best part would be if he outplays Wilson

The old pass interference rule made Joe Flacco. The revised pass interference rules tore him down.

Noone more than Jump Ball Joe benefitted as much from that spot foul than that guy. Talk about integrity of the game? I imagine Harbaugh told his receivers, run 30 yards down the field and when you feel the cb on your back, stop on a dime and run back into the defender. So, so glad that rule was revised. NFL doesnt get much right almost ever. But that one finally was made right.

Was it revised? The DPI was basically half of the Colts offense last night.

Super Bowl of course.

But I like it. Someone with the experience to at least let the youngins (oline, WRs, RB) still develop. Yet not good enough that fans will call for him to start after Zach has a 4 INT game.

In fairness to the Pats, this may be more damnation of the desperation of the Jets than the Pats not getting value for Gilmore.

I was a person that felt that the Pats should have traded Gilmore away in the offseason in 2020 after Brady left, but Gilmore had no trade value on PUP and in the last year of his contract.

Desperate to do what ? While I agree that it's irrelevant to the NE convo, I would say the NYJ aren't desperate at all. They are going nowhere. They should save all their ressources and rebuild. Not waste them to lose with a vet. In fact, you have a guy on the practice squad - a vet - you can lose with...
