I'll be full-on rooting for Tyrod - from week #2.

It's crazy how these QB's are getting paid all this money and they really have not accomplished that much. Flacco's contract came respectively after the SB win. Now we got guys like Cousins and even Tyrod that are getting paid astronomically just because of the Flacco effect. Congrats to them, just know the pressure is real now.

Totally forgot we play them week 1

That is going to be a strange homecoming of sorts for Tyrod. Hopefully, we keep him in check and that Jimmy can limit any damage that Sammy Watkins may do. After the debacle that was the first 2 games in 2015, winning out of the gate - especially since we're at home - is going to be critical this season.

I told everyone Stanley dominated last Thursday.

The new CBA allots more money to veteran contracts because rookie deals are set contracts, and the league has continued to raise the cap limit. QB is the most valuable position and teams are desperate for solid guys that can win. Now the market has inflated because teams know how valuable a good QB is. Average/Upcoming guys will hit jackpot.

Show those Steelers fans the difference between the color GOLD and yellow,

I doubt it!  I fully expect Tyrod and the Bills to be a handful for the Ravens in week #1.  Unfortunately, I see this as a "L" for our boys on opening day!

LOL, you act they just won the SB, they were 8-8 last season. With us playing at home, much healthier, and an overall better team, I wouldn't expect a ravens fan to say something like that.

I don't know what you thought I meant by strange ... I'm just saying it is going to be strange seeing Tyrod here as a starter playing against us.

Surprised Taylor has done so well with the Bills. He was not good with the Ravens. Guess he just needed a chance. Hope TT, Rex and the Bills pummel Carol, Chick and the Patsies this year.

Haha, still better than Ed Reed and Derrick Mason - both had no less than two such homecoming games the season after they left the Ravens - and oddly enough, both with the Texans and the Jets
