If this winds up being Joe Flacco's final Bengals postgame podium session, it was a classy way to go out: "I feel really fortunate to have found myself in this situation."

@WLWT Joe Flacco - the Bengals fans appreciate you. You have brought joy to our season that we could not have imagined. WHO DEY! (Even if you won’t say it back😉)

@WLWT I’m a Joe Flacco fan for life. He’s first class all the way.

@WLWT He knows 9 is starting next week. Flacco is the best. Nothing but class. Gonna miss his pressers. Always great stuff.

@WLWT I’m glad Joe came to play for us. I have really enjoyed his play and press conferences. I have a new found respect for him.

@WLWT They need to see if he'd come back to back up Burrow for a couple of years.

@WLWT Flacco strikes me as a solid person handling a tough situation with class. Those around him should take note because we all find ourselves in situations that call for grace and maturity when it’s hard, but we don’t all have cameras around like they do.

@WLWT HOFer on class alone @JoeFlacco

@WLWT Joe Flacco is one of my favorite humans now. What a legendary guy and so happy he came to play for the Bengals!

@WLWT Not only is he classy, he's incredibly honest and has no regrets because he knows he has given his all... 100%

@WLWT One of the most heartfelt moments in this difficult Bengals season was seeing Joe Flacco step onto the field and give his all. His steadfast effort and integrity genuinely reflect what it means to be a true class act. Thanks for all that you have done for the Bengals and Cincy!

@thebengalboys @WLWT Flacco for GM!

@WLWT I have nothing but respect for Joe Flacco. What a class act. He has earned the right to continue in his career in an active role for another team.

@WLWT Flacco enjoys playing football... he could of retired years ago but sticks around to play 3-5 games every season for the love of the game and he does it still at a decent level. Who Dey glad you were part of the Bengals Journey for a littl while.

@WLWT He's such a great leader...can we get him a coaching position

@WLWT We’ve had so many gut punch losses this season but Flacco consistently comes out with class and insight—always feel better after hearing him speak. He’s had ups and downs , but I’ll never forget what a warrior he has been. Much love, 16. Hope to see you here in happier times

@WLWT Omg this guy is everything.

@WLWT Would love for him to resign him, but I bet he will get some starter offers.

@WLWT Never really cared for Flacco until he joined this team. Ultimate competitor. Tougher than nails! He's been bright spot on season that has been a disaster. Thank you Mr. Flacco!

@WLWT Gotta be behind that guy, great work in a terrible situation

@WLWT Joe earned a shitload of respect. Not that he needed any more.

@WLWT He made this more fun than it needed to be.

@WLWT Guy is truly a class act. I have a new earned respect for him and will always be a fan. He handles himself so well. He has come in and done a very solid job.

@WLWT Flacco has the respect of the entire league. Dude is legit.

@WLWT Flacco is the man!

@WLWT We love you Joe Flacco. You gave us hope and we appreciate you more than you know. You’re a stand up guy. Thank you

@WLWT Flacco for head coach.Taylor is not a good head coach!

@WLWT His stint as a Bengal will forever be one of my favorites

@WLWT He is all class-showed it in Indy last year

@WLWT Appreciate his efforts, he’s clearly a good human being, he gave us reason to hope for a month or so, but this franchise is such an absolute mess that none of it ended up mattering and his 2 pick-6’s the last 2 weeks killed any chance for victory.

@WLWT It’s really too bad we wasted some of his great performances as a Bengal. He is a class guy. But this stint could have been legendary if we would have performed on the other side of the ball.

@WLWT I love him so much. He needs to be the backup.

@WLWT He’s the bright spot of the season. Love his honesty!

@WLWT We want Joe Flacco as the Bengals backup QB until he decides to retire. Hell, make him a player/coach. Best insurance that a team with a great, albeit brittle, starter can have.

@WLWT Flacco fan for life. Never thought I’d say that.

@WLWT Forever the REAL Joe in Cincinnati
