For the past four years, the quarterback room at the Ravens’ practice facility was populated by Joe Flacco, the starter; Tyrod Taylor, Flacco’s backup; and rookies such as Keith Wenning.
In other words, it was Flacco and younger guys with less experience.
That won’t be the case in 2015.
After Taylor became a free agent and signed with the Buffalo Bills in March, the Ravens filled the No. 2 job with Matt Schaub, a veteran who has thrown for more than 24,000 yards in the NFL since 2004.
Flacco, 30, is obviously still the starter, a franchise cornerstone and the dominant figure in the quarterback room, but Schaub, 34, has a lot to add to the conversation.
