What if Flacco plays well?
I mean, oddsmakers and sharp sports bettors see no difference between Darnold and Flacco. I'm not expecting Flacco to be much of a downgrade. But while Darnold alternates being very good and very terrible, I expect Flacco to just be mediocre and throw short passes all day.
And if he plays great, it's not a great sign for Darnold.
Hey, if we win, the Chargers are somewhat beatable, too, and maybe we can make something of this season.
