If Flacco can't hold onto the starting QB job in Baltimore, who is going to step up and trade for a second string quarterback with a base salary of 20 million dollars? If there is anyone on that list, it's got to be a really, really short one. Over the last four years the STATS arrow has been pointing straight down for Mr. Flacco, but there is talk that the competition has revitalized him. We will see! The problem with this bet is it might be dead money from right out of the gate as Jackson is relegated to back up duty, and if Flacco does crap the bed, and it's possible, we might see Jackson get off the bench at mid-season. Would that be enough to get some hardware?
