“Good enough to be a starting quarterback” Joe Flacco believes he has ability to be the starting QB

The New York Jets have a dilemma in their hands, they have two quality quarterbacks but only one can start each day. Though Zach Wilson is the No.1 QB in the team, Joe Flacco is also supremely talented with lots of experience.

Joe Flacco was signed by the Jets in March to mentor the youngster Zach Wilson and help him reach his potential. “That’s my role, and I embrace it,” Flacco said, via the New York Post. “It keeps you engaged, keeps you a part of the team. I’m not just willing to do it, but excited to do it.”

The 37-year-old QB thinks he is still capable and skilled to start in the team. “I do believe I am still good enough to be a starting quarterback. That’s what still drives me to work hard and be the best I can,” Flacco told The New York Post.

The veteran QBs statement was also backed up by coach Robert Saleh who he said. “He could start in this league, I believe that,” Sometimes this league has a tendency to pigeonhole people or put labels on people, and then their opportunities get limited, but Joe Flacco is a starting quarterback in this league. He is really, really talented.”

Flacco believes he has the skill to play as a starting QB on the top level but also embraces that his focus right now is to mentor the young QB Zach Wilson who has a bright future in front of him.

Zach Wilson also has a great relationship with Flacco. They are seen having dinner together or playing ping-pong.
