Maybe Flacco Isn't Wacko

I think it is pretty apparent that I am a Skins fan. But a little known fact about The Hungry Actor is that I love seeing the Ravens do well-just not as well as the Skins. I lived in Maryland when the Ravens moved there and was obligated to follow them and have became intrigued by the way they were putting their team together. I definitely had multiple offseasons of jealousy when Ozzie was making smart trades, picks and signings and my Skins were floundering. After being reasonably happy with my Skins this offseason I turned my attention to the Ravens and I was perplexed by the drafting of Joe Flacco. The first round seemed kind of high to draft some unknown out of Deleware who couldn't even get any time at Pitt. I came to the conclusion that Ozzie simply could not evaluate talent at the QB position (see Kyle Boller, Elvis Grback, Tony Banks and aging Randle Cunningham and Steve Mcnair.) I watched the game on Monday and I have to admit I was impressed. Flacco actually throws a good ball and despite being slow for the NFL he has a good ability to run with the ball as demonstrated by his 13 second play as well as that 30 yard TD frolic he had in the first game of the season. Give him a season or two and I think the Ravens might just be contendors again-if their defense can hold up. So good job Ravens-may you win all your games unless you play the Skins.
