They came into this season knowing QB was an issue, and that was when they had three healthy bodies. How often does <i>any</i> team lose its top two options within the space of two weeks? It happened, though, so I say let Flacco start the whole year, hell or high water. Let him learn what he needs to learn. It's not an ideal situation, but neither was it ideal when Ben Roethlisberger (who also didn't play at a big school) took over in his rookie year and proceeded to become an elite QB. The Ravens need to play this hand and never look back. To me, the Harrington move is bad simply because he's Joey Harrington. I think Chris Simms made more sense because he still has untapped potential, but I wasn't at the workouts. They made what they feel is the right move, so it's time to roll with it.

Five QBs, all of whom would be backups on any other team, if that? *breathes*
