Do the Ravens Need to Get Another Backup Quarterback?

I heard several local sports talk hosts say that the Baltimore Ravens need to go out and get a veteran backup quarterback to replace Marc Bulger.  The idea being that if Joe Flacco goes down, a veteran would be able to step in and still lead the team to the Superbowl.  I personally don't think that the Ravens don't need to do this for three main reasons:

Reason #1 - Joe Flacco rarely gets hurt.  Marc Bulger made a whole lot of money last year just to carry a clipboard.

Reason #2 - I would rather use that money to build more depth on the offensive line or to improve the pass rush.

Reason #3 - The impressive play of rookie Tyrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor has played so well in the preseason so far that I have no problem with him backing up Joe Flacco.  Remember 2008?  Joe Flacco didn't have much experience either when he came in as a rookie and the team went all the way to the AFC Championship game.

Ravens Fall to Eagles in First Pre Season Game

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday night but there was some bright spots.  I thought that  backup rookie quarterback Tyrod Taylor showed a lot of potential considering it was his first NFL game.  I also thought that Pollard and Kruger played very well on defense.  The offensive line still remains  a major concern however.

The Ravens will take on the Kansas City Chiefs next at home on Friday, August 19th at 7:30 pm.  Go Ravens!!!

Ravens Pick QB Tyrod Taylor in Sixth Round of 2011 NFL Draft

It looks like the rumors that current Ravens backup quarterback Marc Bulger is going to be traded are true.  The Baltimore Ravens have just drafted Virginia Tech QB Tyrod Taylor with their 6th round draft pick in the 2011 NFL draft.  Tyrod Taylor is a dynamic quarterback who can make throws both inside and outside the pocket.  Taylor is Virginia Tech's all time passing leader with 7,017 yards.
