Browns QB Joe Flacco to Remain Starter for 2023 Season
Flacco's Remarkable Season Earns Comeback Player of the Year Award
The Cleveland Browns have announced that quarterback Joe Flacco will remain the team's starter for the rest of the 2023 season. This decision comes after Flacco's remarkable turnaround, which saw him lead the Browns to a surprising playoff berth.
2023 Comeback Player of the Year
Flacco's resurgence has been nothing short of spectacular. After struggling in recent years, the 38-year-old quarterback has rediscovered his form in Cleveland. He currently leads the NFL in completion percentage (67.5%) and has thrown for 15 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions in 10 starts.
Injured NFL Quarterbacks in 2023
In contrast to the injury-plagued Browns of recent years, the team has been relatively healthy at the quarterback position in 2023. While Deshaun Watson remains sidelined due to suspension, Flacco has proven to be a capable replacement.
Browns Offseason Strategy
The Browns' offseason strategy has been centered around providing Deshaun Watson with the best possible support when he returns. However, Flacco's strong play has given the team a viable option for the foreseeable future.
