I have no idea how you would cover a newly drafted QB, unless it's Ryan Leaf, and not say something positive.
Every Ravens fan can be conflicted at this time of year. We are all hoping that this guy Flacco plays half as well as Johnny U. (BTW how does he rate only 5th on NFL Network's list of top ten all time clutch QBs?) We are all hanging on every expression the guy makes during plays and want to find some good in each moment he does something right.
This, however, is the Ravens and we are the team that had Vinny Testaverde for a Pro-Bowl season and that was it. We are the team that could not live with Trent Dilfer because all he did was not make mistakes--what does that say about Billick as a coach. We are the team that gave Scott Mitchell a chance and then threw Boller into the starting role as a rookie in one of the toughest divisions, not to mention schedules, in the NFL.
Spring is tough if you are Ravens fan because we are also the team that drafted some of the all time great players--J.O., Ray Ray, and now Reed the Deed. We have hope, because QB seems to be the only position that eludes us and that can't go on forever.
