Just some devil's advocate spitballing.
Flacco uttering the "here to help Sam" company line is to be expected right out of the box and especially since he has a history with Joe Douglas. At the same time he still wants to play (believes he's got something left in the tank) and with $3M in incentives, exactly how will his "clipboard-holding / help Sam" hold up over an entire season? Further, he's an immobile big-arm QB whose skill set doesn't exactly align with Darnold's. Lastly, while he's dinged up, he saw Peyton Manning come back from a wrenched neck, and, he's the same crank who made a point of saying his job was not to serve as Drew Lock's mentor. just sayin'..
