Fun Time. Lotsa moves before opening day. Wouldn't you think a billion $ organization like the Ravens could find a way (much like an opposing team of the Panthers, uses ONE guy, whose only job throughout the game is to shadow Cam Newton) to utilize ONE guy whose only job it is to keep the DEPTH CHART updated on this site. How hard can it be. What's the point of having it, if you don't use it, especially this time of year. The chart they have now, is the same as it was before camp. Well, I guess I'll have to take over the responsibility.

people on this site overestimate the value of our players. I've heard people upset that we didn't get anything for A. Brown, T. Brooks and now Johnson. Im not sure if you know but Josh Johnson signed with the Giants as the number 3 quarterback. No one is going to give us anything for a third string quarterback it just doesn't work like that.

he wasn't eligible for the practice squad which is why john gave him a ton of reps not only for the backup position behind joe but to get his game tape out their for someone to grab.....it was successful

It's probably unfortunate regardless of one's occupation.

Ryan Succop knows the struggle is real.

I agree on not another quarterback

...Not just any quarterback; look at you tube Fresno state (Derek Carr) Vs SJSU (David Fales) 2013... Jim Harbaugh was there and wanted to sign him. Trestman was at Chicago and wanted him there and in Baltimore. Pats jumped to sign him when he went down to practice squad at Chicago, whence Bears signed him back on. 'See a pattern here?

As a Bears fan, I'm disappointed that they let Fales go, I guess Loggains (OC) likes guys with big arms. but you will like this kid, he makes good decisions and is extremely accurate, has a super quick release.
