Even though the Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has remained quiet publicly about who will start at quarterback in Week 1, the tea leaves from training camp so far suggest Joe Flacco is firmly in the pole position.

The Browns will be hoping he can recreate his late-season magic from 2023. Cleveland signed Flacco off his couch, and he started five games, going 4-1 and throwing 13 touchdowns. The playoffs were a nightmare, but it was still an exciting run.

Joe Flacco hasn’t won the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback job yet — but as his competition falls by the wayside due to injuries, the veteran signal-caller finds himself in an increasingly commanding position.
