Joe Flacco Says, Misses The Obvious In First Comments Since Drafting Of Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had not spoken to reporters beyond saying soon after the draft that he would not be speaking to reporters that day. That is until the day that he did finally speak to reporters, which was yesterday, during one of the team’s early OTA sessions.

Why wasn’t he speaking? Well, he’s paid a lot while not playing particularly great, and his team just used a first-round draft pick on a quarterback. Apparently he wasn’t ready with the amicable comments at the time, as others in similar situations in the recent past such as Alex Smith have been.
