Ideally, Joe Flacco will never take the field for any meaningful action in 2024 for the Indianapolis Colts. Ideally, Gardner Minshew wouldn’t have either, but obviously that wasn’t the case. While you never want to see the backup take snaps when it matters, having a competent backup could prove essential. Look no further than 2023 in what can be dubbed as “the year of the backup”. While he didn’t start out with the Browns when the season started, Flacco proved to be king of the backups as he won the Comeback Player of the Year in 2023.
If needed, the Colts are hoping they have the 2023 version of Joe Flacco on the roster
