It's gonna be harder to stop the run with a mobile QB than w/ Flacco and that is their calling card on O either way. He just fits their current team better.
We saw them play 9 games with Flacco this year with offenses leaguewide going bonkers and it wasn't very good. Like other posters said, they got a good D but now it is able to be fresher with more ball control. It's a much harder style to play now than even a few years ago but Ravens are a unique team and I'd say that's how they should play.
Those teams have lower ceilings but Ravens offense doesn't have a high ceiling with Flacco either. And a lower floor to boot if it is inhibiting their ability to run the ball.

I don't think so. I think everyone would take the 14 QBS below all above him. I personally think he is equal or worse than Stafford/Dalton/Mariotta/Prescott/Mayfield/Keenum but those could be argued I guess? So I dont think I would say he is top 16
Brady
Brees
Rivers
Rodgers
Mahommes
Goff
Ryan
Trubisky
Luck
Wilson
Wentz
Cousins
Watson
Newton
at some point one of these run first qbs will break through and win a super bowl but is it a long term winning strategy? i dont think so. baltimore has a great defense and solid kicking game. i suppose if he doesnt turn the ball over they are a threat if they make the playoffs. i dont think he can orchestrate a 2 minute game winning touchdown drive but aside from that he can keep you in games. i do think baltimore has made their choice at this point but they are gonna use him like an rb and beat him up on his rookie contract and then he wont have much left. they arent extending has career much with this style of play, likely cutting it short imo. he has however been very good at getting out of bounds and not taking too many hits but even a few hits are more than the average qb takes.
Yea, one of those running QBs will get a SB. Like Russell Wilson.
The more of them there are, the more likely it is to happen again.
THe kid is 3-0 with mediocre offensive weapons for help.
If, and I only say if, because I don't know, he can't properly run a two minute offense he can join most of the QBs in the NFL including most on your "Top 16" list.
It's what separates Tom Brady from most of the rest. He is the smartest and best at the 2 minute offense.
Is he a running Tom Brady? I doubt it. But he doesn't have to be that to move into the Top 16.
The most important thing he needs to do is protect the ball. How many of your Top 16 do that well?
Give the kid a chance. So far, so good. You can't do better than 3-0 with a mediocre team around you.
