4 Quarterbacks That Could Replace Patrick Mahomes in 2026

2. Joe Flacco

The ageless wonder keeps bouncing around the league and played well for large stretches of time this year. While his stint with the Browns was relatively unremarkable, he looked like a legitimate starter during his time in Cincinnati. Flacco can’t carry an offense on his own, but he can get the most out of talented playmakers.

There is no Ja’Marr Chase on the Chiefs, but Rashee Rice is one of the league’s better wide receivers, and the supporting cast isn’t too bad. Flacco wants to be a starter, but if he can’t get a full-time job, perhaps he’d settle for keeping the ship afloat while Patrick Mahomes recovers.
