[News] Free Agency Primer: Ravens QB Ryan Mallett

[BR News]

The backup quarterback went 1-1 as a Ravens starter in 2015, and he could come at a cheaper price than some of the other veteran options. He also knows Marty Mornhinweg’s system.

Ravens should seriously consider resigning Mattett. Given the opportunity, He seems to have matured from his previous short comings. Flacco is not the answer, or draft a quarterback. Flacco is NOT COACHABLE.

very true. He is also getting paid, and in a league where QB's often find the street if they are not starting caliber, he could get another year under his belt with a solid organization. Ryan very well might find himself starting on a team if he shows just enough as a quality back-up on a playoff Ravens team.

What i don't understand is why we let Josh Johnson go in preseason,he looked good even though it was preseason. Mallett...ugh...

Bring in a rookie with a live arm.

I like Ryan Mallet he has that Fire I like in a QB! But if the Ravens can't keep him I'm in favor of getting a QB in the draft and making him backup like Tyrod did! We have the best in the business with Ozzie and Co. finding talent and is why I feel the Ravens are not a "Rest Haven" for veterans! Win Super Bowls and the players can go get the big contracts elsewhere! I'm just sayin

I would like to have Ryan back. Of course, he would almost certainly prefer going somewhere where he, at least, has a shot at a starting job. And, yes, as usual, the Ravens have precious few dollars to spread around. But, I think that we would be far better off with Ryan than with a rookie that we will pick up in the later rounds. And, from what I've been hearing, and reading, there is not a lot of QB talent coming out from the college ranks this year.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I read thought that a bunch of people were jumping on Josh Johnson's band wagon far too early, and much, and I couldn't figure out why. I do remember that he made that one drive and that it resulted in a win in exciting fashion. But, to me, his arm did not look all that strong and I felt much more confident having Mallet as our backup than I would have Johnson. We have yet to see him start anywhere else so, I guess, time will tell if we really did make a mistake, but I seriously doubt it.
