The benefit of having Joe Flacco on the Bengals, outside of his play on the field, is also being an asset for Joe Burrow.
Burrow has never had someone like Flacco mentor him in the quarterback room, and all of this can be a good thing for a guy who’s had guys like Brandon Allen, Ryan Finley, and Jake Browning for backups, none of whom hold a candle to Flacco.
Bengals offensive coordinator certainly thinks Flacco is an asset to Burrow.
“Guys like Joe Flacco, there aren’t that many of them, and how many times will Joe Burrow get a chance to share a meeting room with that guy, share a practice field with that guy?” Pitcher told Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “I don’t know. I know I’ve learned stuff being around him, and it’s an experience that will inform how I coach and think about the game and the type of skills and approach that I value at that position. I think, sure, anybody that spends some time with him could take something away.”
If the Bengals can pair what Flacco is doing with the Bengals offense and combine it with Burrow’s genius on the field, this offense could be scary when he returns and even harder to stop than it was before.
