Is Joe Flacco a starter in this league? He thinks so.

Joe Flacco isn't mad about re-signing with the Cincinnati Bengals on a one-year deal. But if it were up to him, he'd be competing for a starting job elsewhere in the NFL.

After being traded to the Bengals last season to replace an injured Joe Burrow, he had one of the most productive stretches of his career. But teams ultimately opted to not sign him to compete for a starting role. And he isn't shy about voicing his belief that teams made a mistake by passing on him.

"Believe me, I wish I was a guy somewhere," Flacco, 41, said Wednesday. "And I think teams are dumb for not having me be that guy."

Added Flacco: "Not being one of those guys to go sign somewhere, yeah, it pisses me off a little bit. But at the same time, I'm very happy to be here."

Surely the NYJ could have signed Joe over Geno. I mean Flacco had much better results than Smith did last year. Granted Flacco played some for Cincy with a solid wide out room. But give me the guy who won a super bowl.

Is this going to be his last season?

good ? Genie. He is 41. So not much time left to play the game. He is a statue in the pocket but can still sling the rock for sure.

At his age, he is more qualified to be a coach now lol

No, he’s too slow. You can’t win with guys like him.
