Joe Flacco

You’ll hear moans and groans when talking about Flacco as a starter at this point in his career — or really at any point in his career — but that’s not what the Titans would need him for.

The truth is, Flacco is on the upper-echelon of backup options still available with his mounds of playoff experience and Super Bowl ring, and he’s still a competent quarterback who can utilize an offense’s weapons.

Flacco wouldn’t have to do much, either. Like Tannehill, Flacco could thrive off of play action with defenses so focused on stopping Derrick Henry.

The only problem is he doesn’t have anywhere near the kind of athleticism Tannehill has, which would limit the Titans’ offense a bit. But if Flacco can keep the Titans afloat with his arm, we can overlook his non-existent mobility.
