All things considered, this is a solid signing for the Eagles. The last thing Philadelphia wanted to do was crush Jalen Hurts like Carson Wentz was crushed.
Flacco isn’t going to start over the former Alabama and Oklahoma star. It’s just not going to happen. There’s no pressure on Hurts of losing his spot.

At the same time, Flacco provides tons of experience and is serviceable if Hurts goes down with an injury. In terms of a backup, Flacco is more than competent.
Remember, the man led the Ravens to a Super Bowl less than a decade ago. He’s not as elite as he once was, but he can still spin the ball.
