2. Chemistry with Flacco is nothing to laugh at:

When a receiver has chemistry with Flacco, Flacco is a better quarterback. The Ravens franchise quarterback has always had players he liked to lean on. Flacco loved playing with Steve Smith Sr. and he trusted Dennis Pitta in any situation. Remember also that, Joe Flacco had great chemistry with Derrick Mason. That chemistry helped develop Flacco into the quarterback that won the Super Bowl. Speaking of the Super Bowl, Flacco trusted Boldin so much that he checked out of a run and threw it to number 81 in crunch time. Chemistry with Flacco is so insanely important and the Ravens always seem to forget that.

The 2017 Ravens had the least amount of talent a passing game has ever had (or at least it felt like it). Flacco had one receiver that he would throw it to in any situation. Flacco had one player that he trusted every step of the way. That player was Wallace. Wallace has for the most part been a model teammate in Baltimore. The Ravens needed to add talent to the offense. They need Mike Wallace to not be the number one threat, but they don’t need to get rid of him.

Reward Wallace for his commitment to the Ravens:

The Ravens have had a lot of swings that have missed in recent years. One player who has not been a miss was Wallace. The Ravens signed him as he came off a bad 2015 season. He turned his career back around. It would be nice to see Wallace have the final stretch of his career be in Baltimore. He earned that by being a rock for a bad offensive team. Flacco likes throwing Wallace the ball and that is nothing to take lightly. Wallace should come back.
