Fbkid's Baltimore Ravens snapshot

Big ups to my man Fbkid from the Yard, who wrote an AFC preview, which of course included a blurb on the Ravens. It's syndicated below in its entirety. To read the rest of his AFC preview, click here.

Great job, FB. Thanks for sharing this with the Yard, and for allowing me to post this here on Blogimore. Stay solid.

Baltimore Ravens: Until the quarterback situation is settled, it will be hard for the Ravens to be a successful team. Kyle Boller led the team in passing last year as he had 9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Boller has had lots of opportunities to prove to the team that he could be a successful quarterback. So far, the Ravens haven't seen any results. Troy Smith was solid as a rookie last year as he had very good game management skills and in two starts threw for two touchdowns and no interceptions. Then you add rookie Joe Flacco into the mix who the Ravens traded up to get in the 1st round. Flacco could be the Ravens quarterback of the future, but as of now is still raw and shouldn't be thrown into the fire right away. Willis McGahee had another solid year as he had 1207 yards and 7 touchdowns. Look for McGahee to have a big season this year as the new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is known to make running backs the focal point of his offense. Ray Rice was picked in the 2nd round and if McGahee gets hurt, Rice is a solid backup option who proved to be very durable in his 3 years at Rutgers. Derrick Mason proved last season that he is one of the most consistent receivers in the game as he had 103 catches for 1087 yards. Cameron also loves using tight ends in his schemes and if Todd Heap is healthy, it will give the Ravens offense another dimension. The defense is still productive, but it is aging.
