Mentioned as a candidate for comeback player of the year, reflecting on his career resilience.

Joe Flacco, a former Super Bowl MVP, has had a lengthy career but is now facing the twilight of his playing days. Despite showing flashes of brilliance during brief stints with the Jets, Browns, and Colts, his recent performances have been marred by inconsistency and interceptions. After joining the Colts as a backup and mentor to Anthony Richardson, Flacco's time on the field revealed that while he can still throw the ball effectively, he struggles to maintain that level of play consistently. With the Colts losing four of his six starts, it's becoming increasingly clear that Flacco may need to consider retirement before his performance declines further.

Joe Flacco is slated to hit free agency this spring, leaving his future with the Colts uncertain. Given the team's turbulent quarterback situation, there is speculation that the Colts may seek a different direction for Richardson's backup, which could mean Flacco's departure from Indianapolis.

Flacco was brought in as a veteran backup to mentor Richardson, but the Colts are now considering looking for a more credible starting option for the future. His presence was intended to provide stability, yet the team may seek a player who can step in as a starter if Richardson continues to struggle or faces ongoing injury issues.

Joe Flacco, in his 105th career victory, completed 23 of 40 passes for 263 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown pass to Alec Pierce. This performance may mark the end of Flacco's 17-year career as a former Super Bowl MVP, as he continues to navigate the twilight of his time in the league.
