Joe Flacco was signed by the Eagles to provide a veteran presence in the quarterback room, but the former Super Bowl MVP has his own ideas when it comes to possibly being named the starter.
Flacco echoed the sentiments of head coach Nick Sirianni when he mentioned “competition” and how it helps a team develop from within.
Asked if he’ll play the veteran, mentor role to Jalen Hurts, Flacco made it clear that guys in the quarterback room “always help each other”, and he’ll do “his part” to help the team win, but he only knows how to be a “competitor”.
Flacco said he was given no assurances about having the chance to compete for the job, and his tone was more about a mindset entering training camp more than anything.
