As Ravens fans, we have generally made do with little talent behind iron-man Joe Flacco at quarterback, and it worked out just fine for the team until this year. The backup to Flacco has ranged from veterans like Marc Bulger and Matt Schaub, to Ravens late round draft picks, like Troy Smith (2 years) and Tyrod Taylor (4 years), who most Ravens fans had little confidence in at the time but is having success in Buffalo.
So why are Ravens fans so upset that the team signed a player in Ryan Mallett who many around the league think can be a successful starter in the NFL?
