Quarterbacks:

Joe Flacco

Ryan Mallet 

There shouldn’t be any surprises here. The Ravens almost never give Joe Flacco more than one understudy, and the Ravens seem to like Ryan Mallet. Flacco is going into his tenth season as the starting quarterback in Baltimore. It seems like just yesterday it was 2008 and a new era was starting.

Flacco’s cap hit is astronomically high this year. The Ravens have to hope he delivers. Last season Flacco put up over 4,000 yards but he averaged less than 7 yards per passing attempt. What the Ravens need more than anything, is Flacco to start being more aggressive and efficient.
