Unfortunately true.

Plus we don't need another aging receiver.

This kind of crap always gets written in the summer lull before camps start.

Hit the nail on the head. Joe is best passing off play action and, like every other QB (even the Manning's and Brady's)' he needs a line that protects him. Success will hinge more on RT and the running backs. Kubiak's schemes seem tailor made for the kind of offense Joe can be effective in. The only question is the O-line and running backs.

A lot of people say they're over the old Colts being turned into crap and leaving but I'm not one of them.

Way too early for this. I need to see Rick Wagner at RT, Steve Smith, Joe, Rice and in general the overall Kubiak offense.

He was a head coach for the Colts too, briefly in 1972. He filled out the year that Irksay fired McCafferty in. I'm pretty sure he also coached O-line before that. Don't know if he ever played though for the Colts.

I think he's the best local sports guy on TV. But he shouldn't be doing live play-by-play. I remember when his Dad was a coach for the old Colts.

Right. That could very well happen. Hate to be 2 RB's down for the first several games.

Is there an issue with the court date?

I would think so too, but I haven't heard it even mentioned in the press.

Quite possibly he's done but before I pronounce last rites I want to see him in the pre-season.

Some of that decision making will have to be based on how effective our offense is scoring touchdowns. Usual pattern for Ravens has been that the FG kicker is vital (Stover and now Tucker).

Yup.

Glad we didn't pay those guys. Says a lot about how we coach. And how Oz rates talent. He was off on the Boldin call though.

Is Lawrence Taliaferro subject to being suspended? Seems like I keep reading he's going to be around.

Tucker has both earned it and deserves it. There just has to be a way to make it cap-friendly.

Yeah, I know it's only shorts and no pads, but I still liked the sound of who has impressed during the off-season: http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Ravens-Who-Boosted-Stock-In-Offseason-/bbe2c237-0c1a-4356-b4e4-2ea9ef61ac89

Yes, its definitely just an OTA, but we're not the only ones seeing positives: http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/11-Eisenberg-Thoughts-Joe-Flaccos-Command-Is-Apparent/03de5346-e0d4-431f-97f0-a0fa271a3188

Pretty good overall. Disappointed with the news about Hurst, though.

So I ask again: who would have qb'ed the Ravens in 2013? And for that matter, this year if we had cut Joe loose after the 2012 season?

Here's an article on Wagner: http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Gary-Kubiak-Very-Pleased-With-Rick-Wagner/70340df7-ad24-4b98-a2dc-ec63568fb4f0

Haven't you?

I don't have a good feeling about this. Sounds like a good way to get somebody injured just so the 2 Harbaugh brother can play in the sandbox.

This isn't fantasy football. And by the way, I really haven't been as impressed with the 2014 class like you are.
