The Cleveland Browns ended the season with Joe Flacco as their quarterback, and many Browns fans would like to see him return next year.
On Tuesday, Ken Carman of 92.3 The Fan shared that he doesn’t think that would be a good idea (via 92.3 The Fan on Twitter).
“The fan base, they have Joe Flacco jerseys… the second Deshaun Watson goes out there and has a bad pass or has a bad game or a bad quarter, there’s going to be people out there yelling. But if they’ve got 15 [Flacco] standing on the sidelines there…it’s going to be a little bit more difficult.”
The primary reasons for Carman wanting Trubisky is that the quarterback hails from Mentor, Ohio, and Carman doesn’t believe fans will be howling for Trubisky if Watson screws up.
“If Mitch Trubisky doesn’t see the field then he’s just a local guy who’s the backup quarterback for the Browns. He’s a good athlete, I bet he could run the offense, you can take care of him.”
