Joe Flacco says he thinks it would be strange but is open to playing with the Steelers in 2026

This 100%, but is it the GM or the owner that is doing this stupid stuff??

 

This is what I believe also

 

I'd be ok with Flacco on the roster in 2026. He proved to be very serviceable this year. 13 TDs, 4 ints, 61.7% completion percentage with two bad teams.

I always think about how Flacco was Comeback Player of the Year in 2023 chosen over Damar Hamlin which goes to show Flacco got more credit and it was a greater accomplishment leading the Browns to the playoffs than a man coming back from being dead.

 

Look at the defense Seattle has

 

My point is that's why Sanders got his shot it had nothing to do with the GM wanting him to play.

 

And you guys are forgetting JSN had over 1,700 yards receiving and won OPOY, he wouldn't get that same production from a Steelers receiver.

 

Its reported that Berry wanted to and so did Haslam. It's not just the Watson trade though, his FA signings have been garbage too... giving good money to Njoku and Jeudy while they underperform heavily.

 

Yeah, but they aren't being carried by their defense... They have a really good offense too. 3rd in points, 7th in yards, 7th in passing. Darnold's play is a big reason for that.

 

Darnold's play helped JSN as much as JSN helped Darnold. Last year with Smith, JSN had 1,100 yars and DK had 1,000 in 12 starts (they had the same YPG). The uptick in QB play helped a ton. If JSN played with Rodgers and nobody else at WR on the Steelers, he wouldn't have gotten anywhere near 1,700 yards (or OPOY) either... He likely gets about 900 yards in 15 games like DK did.
