[BR News]

Ryan Mallett has been in Marty Mornhinweg’s system for more than a year and filled in admirably for Joe Flacco after he went down with a torn ACL in 2015.

Very important signing. Unheralded but critical.

What are the numbers?

Very important signing. Unheralded but critical.

I agree. I like it a lot

[bioLarzen]

Great news.

[cobrajet]

We need a decent backup so I like it.

[BigUgly]

Great news.

Agreed. Browns or Niners would have been well-suited to pick up Mallett as a bridge starter. Better for us!

[The Greek]

awesome!!

Curious on how much we offered him. I'm glad we're keeping him because we need a good backup but surprised that no one else snagged him up.

Similar skill set to Joe's. Underrated move. We could've ended up with somebody from the bottom of the barrel.

Well that's unexpected. I thought for sure he would be snatched away and we would end up with a warm body in pads bscking up Joe. Great signing. I wonder how long the contract is for

Mallett can be the starting Qb for the Ravens. Cutting Flacco and promoting Mallett will give us the ability to put together a team that can win the super bowl.
So Joe, take the hint and do what Tom Brady did for his team...take a pay cut and let them put together a winning team.
We need 2 more top tier OL to play with Stanley and Yanda now that Wagner is gone, Mosely needs a partner in the middle. We need 2 top tier corners since the china doll (Jimmy Smith) can only be counted on as a luxury item. (like hookers and cocaine at the Crease in Towson).
We also need 2 top tier OLBs that can rush the passer and stop the run (Dumervil is gone and Suggs is done). We also need a run stopper in the middle now that Williams is gone...a terrible decision by Ozzie to let him go by the way.
If you don't care about winning enough to take a pay cut then just retire and give the franchise some hope.
