"Kerry has been a successful collegiate coach for many years. "We're excited to welcome Kerry to our staff as the assistant quarterbacks coach," said head coach John Harbaugh. The Ravens wouldn’t mind to have someone waiting in the wings as Flacco is now in his 30s.BALTIMORE (WJZ) - The Baltimore Ravens have hired Kerry Dixon, the wide receivers coach at Georgia Tech, to work as assistant quarterbacks coach under James Urban, the team announced Monday. That does not mean the future cannot begin to be groomed. At some point this offseason, he is going to get that contract restructured and it will likely add extra years to his deal. This is still Joe Flacco‘s team for the foreseeable future. We just have no idea which will put it all together once they reach the next level. This is one of the deeper classes in recent memory and it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if four or five quarterbacks selected this year are starters down the road. This draft does not have a consensus top signal caller as many of the previous years, but it does have an abundance of players that should stick around in the league. Both could be groomed into the man for future. Stanford QB Kevin Hogan and USC’s Cody Kessler both have the skills to translate into effective NFL quarterbacks. Should the front office decide they want to go with a traditional drop back passer there are two Pac-12 guys that catch my eye. Many feel that he is just an athlete playing the position, but if you watch the tape, he has the tools to make a lot of the throws needed. Jacoby Brisset is another quarterback with athleticism that should be available in the late rounds.

It’s unlikely that Jones is still available when the Ravens are looking for a quarterback as I expect Jones to go in the third or fourth round. He is not someone who will be ready to step in as a starter from day one, but the Ravens are not looking for that anyways. Jones has a terrific arm that can make all the throws and is also enough of a threat on the ground to keep defenses on their heels. The NFL is a copycat league and all the hype surrounding Newton is going to help Jones during the draft process.

That is enough proof that the read-option is effective at the professional level.Ĭardale Jones is a player that is going to get looked at by every team in the league. Newton’s success has led the Panthers to this year’s Super Bowl and Wilson started the last two Super Bowls. Several teams have quarterbacks that are perfect for that style of offense, including Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton. The the read-option is slowly incorporating itself into the NFL. The backups this season were sitting ducks in the pocket and defenses brought the pressure that created mistakes. Their mobility in the pocket is difficult to predict which does not allow defense to bring added pressure. Prior to Taylor being with the team, the Ravens had Troy Smith serve as the backup. Harbaugh has previously said the reason he liked Taylor so much was that he brought a new dimension to the game if he was needed.

Taylor told reporters this week that he still has love for the Ravens and is grateful for Flacco for showing him the ropes for the early part of his NFL career. Tyrod Taylor was the backup in Baltimore for four seasons before heading to the Buffalo Bills to compete for a starting job. Mallett was the best of the three backups, but he has a lot of maturing to do to prove he is a long-term fix as a backup. The Ravens had three different quarterbacks ( Matt Schaub, Jimmy Clausen and Ryan Mallett) finish out the season and all three have their struggles. It was the first time every that the backup quarterback had to start a game under Harbaugh. Flacco started every game in his career until this season when he tore his ACL and MCL in the win over the St. John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco have been together since their very first minicamps in 2008. By Joe Serpico 7 years ago The Baltimore Ravens still have Joe Flacco to lead the way, but it would not hurt to draft a quarterback for the future.
