You have no idea

A lot of fans don't realize when a QB wants to play, how much of an insult they take it when asked to mentor. Yeah Kubiak, I get how he got into coaching. But Kubiak wasn't a pro bowl starter. I'm very happy Schaub will embrace mentoring.

At least I'm comfortable and confident enough to say I'm wrong. Your right I should have taken a minute. But what else was I to think he made it very clear just last year he wanted to start. When a QB wants to start they aren't usually keen on mentoring!! He must have decided he liked it working with Carr. BTW Houslers agent has broken off talks with other teams. If he helps get Rob Housler up to speed he double earned that $$.

A lot of vet QBs are not on board with that kinna stuff. They think its beneath them. But Schaub isn't only on board with it but is interested in coaching after retirement. Of course when I found that out it changes the signing. Doesn't change that Wenning could actually outperform him in preseason. However Schaub is going to earn his $$ in practices and the classroom. He will practically be an extra coordinator/QB in practices. Nobody knew he would help with all that. Many vets wanna play and will help minimally and take it as an insult.

Actually I heard some things bout Scaub and IM TOTALLY IN FAVOR OF SIGNING HIM!! I heard Schaub is very smart in the class and film room. And he is a future offensive coordinator and maybe even head coach. He isn't just the backup QB. THIS IS HIS COACHING APPRENTICESHIP!! He will be working with the players like WRs RBs and TEs. He will help introduce Rob Housler to the system and work with him on timing like he once did Owen. He knows the system as well as Kubiak and has always been instrumental with innovating and coordinating plays. Houston first traded for him cuz of how smart he was coordinating plays with the offensive players in practice and in the film room. He was very helpful to Kubiak even with the run game. He never had great arm talent but was successful due to how well he coordinated and executed plays. He was very instrumental designing and coordinating the offense with Kubiak and is said to be overall more innovative than Kubiak. He knows the system and how to detail it as well as Kubiak. Not to mention other teams were aware of his offensive smarts and other teams were interested in signing him cuz of his knowledge and command of the system. He isn't just a backup QB this is beginning of his coaching. He is a backup QB but will be working with players coordinating and detailing plays. He helped Carr a lot and it could hurt Derek's progress. He could end up ravens offensive coordinator eventually. The offense will not miss Kubiak with Schaub around and will make a smoother shift to Trestman. Its the reason he is getting the extra $$. He has agreed to help with the offense. He only will get an extra $mil for actually playing cuz much of his work will be in practice switching up with Joe working with different players. This was a great signing actually. I never heard b4 his immense savvy helping Kubiak and whomever is coordinating and designing the offense

He worked very hard on his route running with Fitzgerald last off season. Arizona just went with mostly 3-4 WRs sets and 2 RBs and he never got his shot. But your right its separates TEs and Housler has the raw skills to be an extraordinary route runner with very fluid hips and can accelerate in and out of breaks. SS and Schaub can help further his development. Raves structure will bring out his best toughness and blocking in practice with suggs and Dumervil. He is already a hard worker in practice and weight room.

Really?? Have you seen pick6 throw lately?? I haven't except his picks on sports center just b4 he gets benched. I hear WRs could have a latte b4 his throw gets there. Likely how he throws so many picks. His velocity was suspect even in his prime but he had Andre Johnson and Owen in their prime with a great run game. He is older now with and his throws most likely lost some heat.

That's very true. However they could have got him for a $mil. Schaub was likely not going to get signed unless somebody is injured. I like Wenning so don't get the wrong point. Last yr was incredibly deep for QBs and in my opinion will produce at least 3 franchise QBs. It was deepest draft ever for QBs. If ravens aren't confident in Wenning going into year2 then they should have drafted a QB in the place of Taliaferro or Urban who won't amount to anything more than back ups. There were some solid options at QB like Mettenberger,Murray,Savage that could become franchise QBs or at least effective QBs in the right system. Drafting a successful QB pays for itself as a team pays far better draft picks than used to draft theQB. If Mettenberger doesn't get injured consistently he is a pro bowl QB that would bring the ravens some really nice picks. Also watch Tom Savage as he could be a franchise QB with some work. Murray could be prolific if surrounded by talent. I dunno how anybody could call last yrs QB class mediocre just cuz it didn't have Andrew Luck. I like Bridgewater better than Winston.

Schaub has been benched for being terrible the last couple teams he played for. How is he getting us any wins?? Wenning will outplay him just like every other young QB he has competed with of late!!

Another brilliant move by Ozzie. $3mil more on a useless player. He has been terrible and benched by everybody who signed this scrub thinking he had some good play. His arm is the weakest. Is this what they meant by proactive in free agency?? I would bet $$ that Wenning outplays him in preseason!! Wasted $$ like this is why the team could not sign anybody in free agency to help this team!! Yeah Ozzie really had something up his sleeve. If they don't bank this draft the Superbowl is very unlikely. I actually thought they would sign a player or 2 that would actually help the team. But Ozzie's at it again. More useless cap $$ If this team struggles Biscotti is going to lose more of his patience. The great Ozzie can't find anything better to do with cap $$. Can't wait to see this loser play in preseason and get beat out by Wenning. Then everybody will see it is another terrible decision!!

Why compare to the AFC North?? Who thinks beating them is an accomplishment?? Anything less than a superbowl is failure!! So we need to compete with every other front office in the NFL. Not just AFC north. Had the ravens handled free agency better to allow resigning Corey Graham and drafted better with the Elam, Arthur Brown, and Upshaw picks we would have won the Superbowl. Fans are really doing cartwheels over resigning Canty. Many fans had Canty below average so why resign him??

He has fixed his blocking. Just was underitilized this year. He isn't a great blocker just like most receiving TEs but he he is effective. Even Gronks blocking is overrated. His big blocks are all blindsides. I dunno how that coward gets away with it and he doesnt get called out 4 it. He backs off when he has to go man up with a nasty edge rusher. I like Housler and Gresham. Both could be really good with a QB. Housler has WR speed and routes while Gresham should look faster after getting his back fixed. He was the best TE in that draft. He actually can block big time with 4.6 speed at 260 lbs. Bad QB has held him back. Consider this, AJ Green who is the most talented WR considering his routes speed size but has been viewed a notch below the elite now like Dez and Julio. Sanu borders a #1 but has underperformed. Are all these very talented players underperforming or is it the QB.

He runs wrong routes. But then again it's the raiders. Give him credit for even knowing what a route is.

That's correct he did plead guilty. Had him confused with hardy 4 a sec. In Washington's case he wants to prove he has changed. I would sign him in .0000003 seconds!! If he messes up u cut'em. Otherwise u have an all pro player. I think LB is going to be a need. I think Daryl Smith is going to really show his age next year. Its football not the boys choir. And in my opinion its bout winning. Do patsie fans care they were charged with cheating?? Nope they are flashing the trophy saying count'em and calling everybody sore losers. Did Seattle care bout all their suspensions?? Did anybody care bout the names that Ray was called coming from jail to lead a superbowl trophy?? Nope just cared that the ravens were champs. All the complainers saying they should have cut Ray were just brushed off as sore losers. The super bowl champs nor their media or fans care bout allegations from the losers or their media and fans. Having a wholesome team of choir boys that go 8-8 I don't think other teams or their media or fans will respect or allow not having any players with character issues as an excuse for not winning the Superbowl. All I'm really saying is if the patsies flash the trophies and brush everybody off as sore losers which proves its really bout winning, then y shouldn't the ravens try to fix players with character problems to get the player at a bargain and steal. I don't think any Superbowl winner really cares how many players they have with drama issues.
