So this is a pretty good move by the Ravens (if Willie can even stay healthy that is). Still, with Ogden retired, the vaunted defense banged up and aging, and with Joe-freaking-Flacco as their starting QB, I see the Ravens getting roughed up this season.

I still maintain he was one of, if not the best QBs in the draft last year.

He'll turn some heads in a good way once he plays for a real team. Playing QB for the Ravens is like playing any position for the KC Royals.

I've heard that too, but I'm not buying it. Maybe (and that's a big maybe in my book) later down the line, but almost certainly not as a rookie QB. And that's what my point was -- he'll be a liability for the Ravens this season.
