Bengals QB Joe Flacco on why he’s still playing at age 40: “You only get a chance to play in the NFL once, and I don’t want to take that for granted. I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror when I’m 50 years old and say that I gave it everything I had.”

Seeing him with the Bengals’ logo behind him still makes me feel like we kidnapped him or something.
He thinks he is making it to 50 behind our o-line. Quite the optimist.
Like him more every year.
Playing until 50 confirmed
Not the literal quote
Burrow at 50 years old
“After 3/4s of a season with the Cincinnati Bengals,41-year old retired QB Joe Flacco said, ‘I should have stopped at 39.'”
Incoming 12/32, 176 yards, 1 int, 1 td, and 3 rushing yards
I.. I just feel weird and conflicted not wanting to see this particular Joe get smooshed.
I hope our oline somehow channels Boomer’s `88 line to protect him.
Dear baby jeebus, please protect Flacco… shit, did I just type that?!
Breaking news! Bengals QB Joe Flacco retires midway thru the first quarter of week 6 after being sacked 5 times
Love this guy. Not sure it will help but still love him!
As a 40 year I relate to this so much. Trying to hold on and play bball at the gym for as long as I can because I know it’s only a matter of time before I’m not able to anymore.
