Snoopy, in the “Peanuts” comic strip, would often prance around wearing dark sunglasses and a red T-shirt with JOE COOL printed on the front of it in black letters. That’s Browns 40-year-old

All signs now point to 40-year-old veteran Joe Flacco securing the starting job, even as the team continues their four-quarterback juggling act. “I think it’s time to let Joe cook,” declared Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot during Wednesday’s Orange and Brown Talk podcast.

Beyond his talent, Flacco’s attitude is what sets him apart from past veteran quarterbacks who have come to the Browns and failed. He is not ill-fitted to the offense like Jeff Garcia in 2004, insecure like Trent Dilfer in 2005, or burdened with a knucklehead rookie like Brian Hoyer was in 2014.
