Overcoming adversity is key, but the winner is supposed to return to a remarkable level of performance.Hamlin has barely seen the field this year.Ru sell Wilson was building a decent case, but getting benched for the last two games will likely take him out of the conversation. Baker Mayfield appears to have found a new home as the starting quarterback for the Buccaneers.Several players have played well in returning from an injury, i.e., Mathew Stafford, Tua Tagovailoa, Breece Hall, etc.Then theres Joe Flacco.Joe Flaccos Mitch Wishnowsky Jersey downfall began in 2015, three years after winning Super Bowl 47 and being named Super Bowl MVP.Injuries limited him to ten games that year; the team went 3-7.

Injuries and poor play opened the door for Jackson to start about midway through the 18 season.Flacco bounced around the next few years, starting eight games for Denver in 2019 (2-6) and four for the Jets in 2020 (0-4). During his stay with the Eagles in 2021, he did not play Austin Blythe Youth Jersey but got traded back to the Jets, where he started one game in 2021 (0-1) and four in 2022 (1-3).There wasnt any demand for a quarterback who had not played well in years heading into the 2023 season.
