Cleveland Brown has the most complex quarterback room in NFL, and it is rarely a good thing.
A Panchak of passers-by breaks into veterans-which Flacko, Kenny Picket and injured Dehan Watson-and the miscreants, third round pick dills Gabriel and fifth round pick Shader Sanders. Among the veterans, Flacco has enjoyed the longest career and can be seen as a favorite to start in 2025.

Just don’t ask him to become a patron. Or, rather, do not ask him about being a patron, seeing what he had to say on Wednesday.
Talking with reporters at Brown OTAS, Fleco discussed many topics but Being a guardian for youth quarterbacks dodged a question about his previous commentsEssentially, he looks at his job as a good quarterback and is free to follow his small team partners for example:
“This is a good question to give someone fodder to answer someone and no matter how they answer it, it makes a man of the kind that is answering.
“I try to be honest, and I said,” I am not a patron. I play football. ” And in a quarterback room, there is a lot of frequent – already, already a ton – where there is learning experiences and I have a lot of experience, and I can talk on things, and hopefully they hear that they hear that they have to hear me.
This is nothing new to Flacco. He was hardly the champion of Lamor Jackson when Baltimor Revenne draft future MVP in 2018. They. In 2019, Denver scoffed the idea of being a patron for Drew Lock with BronchosHe Said that he was fine with the role for Sam Daranold on New York Jets in 2020, but clarified that he still wanted to startHe Anthone said something about Richardson when he was with Indianapolis Colts last year,

Flacco, 40, is probably telling reporters to tell reporters to say a lot of aging quarterbacks. NFL players, especially a long -term quarterbacks, are not more excited about tuitioning a 22 -year -old child than ever playing.
Or as Flacco said:
“Because of what I just said, you are doing such a thing as I do not want to be a patron. Once again, it’s not really about it. It’s not just the main focus. I see myself as a person who can play in this league, so if your main attention was, ‘Hey, Kali, I am going to prepare you,’ You are not just taking care of business.
The best way to be a patron, honestly, shows people how you go to work. As I said, hopefully they pick up the stuff, but do not necessarily force you to take things that you do. ,
So try to win this plan for Flacco that currently win four-way starting battle. It seems that there is a role that is meant to lose, considering the picket has never been an average cuby, while Gabriel and Sanders were not drafts in the “Pro-Ready” part of the draft for passers-by.

It is difficult to say if Brown has kept the group completely on the purpose. Both Flacko and Picket were signed in the spring as it was announced that Watson could remember the entire 2025 season with another Achils tear. Gabriel was seen as a stunning access to the 2025 NFL draft, while Sanders was seen as a possible first round pick, then the draft perhaps in the fifth round in the most amazing slide in history.

Flacco accepted the “slight response” about what Cleveland did in the draft, admitting that he learned about the sanders pick when his wife told him, “He prepared only another man’s draft.”
Sanders will still enter their first training camp with an air of celebrity, however, and Flacco was nothing but praise about the big 12 aggressive player of the year, Via Cleveland.com,
“Shadurur has been very good. I mean, he has a lot of fun to stay around in those meeting rooms. I think so far, the meeting has happened at least once once in the meeting room that he has given me a smile, and that is all about. You are trying to learn some football and come out of those things.”
Flacko, who won Super Bowl MVP Honors in 2013, is currently preparing for his 18th NFL season, and in his second term with Brown. He enjoyed the best stretch of his post-rance career with Cleveland in 2023, when he posted 4–1 records as a starter in a run for the playoffs.
