Being objective, Flacco would be marginally better as a passer than Bortles (probably make less mistakes), but Bortles is a better overall QB because of his mobility.
Flacco pretty much needs a great OL and running game to be a capable starter these days, otherwise he's going to resort to using terrible mechanics, stare-down his first receiver, get sacked, throw picks, and get injured. Plus Flacco seems to fail to make basic pre-snap reads for whatever reason. He's never been a particularly studious QB though, so that's not really surprising.
I don't think trading Flacco would cost more than a 6th or 7th though, and that's if he's even traded. I could see them releasing Flacco as a thank-you for the things he's done for the franchise (a courtesy you didn't see Jerry Jones offer to Romo lol). Or I could see all of this being a moot point with Flacco just retiring because he's a boring family man who probably doesn't want to leave the area to play half-assed QB for some non-contending team. He's lived his whole life in the MD/PA/NJ area and he's made a lot of money; he could just be content with what he's done.
Could change the bold to say Bortles instead of Flacco and it'd still be spot on lol.
Who knows what could happen. For all we know, Khan could decide to blow it all up and fire everybody in the front office. That'd shake things up. I don't think that needs to be done though.
