Another glowing review of Tyrod. He's had a great offseason, too.

I think this sums it all up. Fortunately, Tyrod has had ample experience with this type of coach before.

We knew Tyrod was special when we had him and watched him mature into a vgood QB.

We also watched Watkins. Imagine if we had him in our WR corps along with the guys we had.....

This is going to be great for the ACC.

See "Eddie Royal". We all knew the guy was amazing but if you look at his college stats, not insanely impressive. Definitely was underutilized in my opinion.

I love Tyrod so much. Makes me so happy to see him succeeding in the NFL.

Never could figure out why someone didn't make him first string sooner, they wasted some good years with him on the bench.

Because he needed to get a Super Bowl Winner's ring first.

Bills: "So, Tyrod, why do you think we should make you part of the team?"

Tyrod: "Do you have one of these?"

You know, he got several years to learn the game, stay healthy and get better. Maybe more 1st round QBs would pan out if they were given this kind of chance. They loved having him in Baltimore and I agree this guy deserves success.

Probably because Joe Flacco never seems seemed to get injured. The Ravens knew they had a good backup who cost them very little salary (by NFL standards) and weren't about to trade him away just for his own good. And nobody else in the league was going to offer any players of value for a backup that had never proven himself in the League. Tyrod's only shot at a starting gig was to wait for Flacco to get injured or wait for his rookie contract to expire.

And then Flacco goes and gets himself injured in the first year without Tyrod backing him up.

Coincidence...I think not.

I always thought he would be a good NFL QB given time. Doesn't hurt that he makes people look silly running the ball either.

I'm a huge Broncos fan and I was pretty excited when rumors started leaking that Elway was considering a trade for Tyrod. Ultimately they went a different route and drafted Paxton Lynch in the first round. I guess that kind of counts, right?
