I read somewhere Joe is already riding the stationary bike.

That sound pretty remarkable to me.

 

Yeah, but is he throwing passes to WRs that he may or may not play with next year?

Yea i think Joe is back and ready for TC.  Ill say it now i think he has the best season of his career next year....as long as we dont lose 50million to the IR

 

I agree with this. Many franchise QBs have come back better after ACL injuries. It's speculative, but I read somewhere that for most of these guys, it's the first time they are really focused on watching the games instead of preparing/playing them. It gives them a chance to reevaluate their mental game and pick out their mistakes.

 

Flacco's best seasons are ahead of him, barring any health concerns for him or the team.

I think Flacco may also be a freak physically because he's managed to stay healthy for so long. People like that tend to heal faster than others.

Wouldn't surprise me.  I am 31 years old and never had an injury in my life despite playing various sports and being a pretty active person and taking some risks climbing & jumping around, on/off, and between things.  I'd always considered myself pretty good genetically and not prone to injury.  Unfortunately about 3 weeks ago I tried upping the weight on my lifting routine and went a little above my head and tore an abdominal muscle as well as a pectoral.  The pain was excruciating for about a week, but it's 3 weeks later and I'm at about 90% on the ab and probably 60% on the pec, and feeling pretty good in general.  I should be back to where I was a month ago within another week or two I'm hoping.  My grandfather broke multiple ribs and punctured a lung in an accident when he was nearly 80 years old and healed good as new!  Flacco is on another level in terms of his physical gifts from me or anyone in my family, he's a big dude and has stayed healthy and healed pretty damn quickly from other more minor knee and hip injuries in the past, so I think he's got the genes to make a quick and strong comeback from this.

Flacco holds a bazillion records, carried this team to a SB (thank Lee Evans for costing us back to back SB on Flacco's arm), had probably the greatest postseason run in history, has historically been sublime in the postseason, and along with Ryan is the very reason teams now put high expectations on rookie QBs and start them from day one. sounds like "money" to me

Opinions vary. Flacco, in my opinion, hasn't been money since walking into the NFL. Very few players are money from rookie year on.

Who loses two QB"s? Not worth discussing, and it's fantasy.

 

It's your scenario, not mine. 

 

What I'm gathering from your response is that you don't have a firm grasp of this situation. Come back again when you can actually explain yourself.
