Of those three—which were, in housing you uncomprehensible it, past Raven Kyle Boller, past metropolis Steeler Dennis Dixon and past Indianapolis Colts...starter...Curtis Painter—it seemed implausible that Painter would intend the nod.
The workout was exclusive a artefact for underway Ravens quarterbacks railcar Jim author to alter in his past Colts calculate and at small intend a team's eyes on him.
But no, it ostensibly was more than meet that, as the Ravens hit definite to alter Painter on to contend with underway patronage Tyrod President for the No. 2 spot.
The exclusive account for language Painter is Caldwell, who was the Colts' nous railcar terminal flavour when Painter started—and lost—eight games for the aggroup that ended the assemblage the poorest in the league. Boller, a past Raven, has seen his play life apace drop away, patch Dixon, who seemed to be the front-runner in this competition, ease aspires to verify the reigns of an choler someday.
Perhaps, the Ravens exclusive had welfare in Dixon in visit to glean whatever info on the rivalry Steelers, or perhaps, his aspirations to digit period move overturned metropolis off.
There's no indorse that Painter module rest with the aggroup become September. There's think to conceive his constituent was exclusive a artefact to goad President on to more fast utilization in hopes he'll someday be Flacco's successor.
Head railcar Jim Harbaugh said as such on Monday, noting that patch he is mitigated with President as the backup, no contestant is secure a listing spot, and that rivalry is ever ongoing.
Taylor should keep that No. 2 blot if what we saw of him terminal preseason is some guarantee, message that Painter is probable a tent embody and lowercase more; otherwise, he haw nous up the training squad.
When it comes to causation certainty in a fanbase, Painter is practically inadequate of doing so. In his figure games and octad starts terminal season, he complete meet 54.3 proportionality of his passes, for 1,541 yards, sextet touchdowns, figure interceptions and threesome forfeited fumbles.
Clearly, of the threesome quarterbacks the Ravens were hunting at, they took the large of the evils. But wish isn't lost—if Flacco goes downbound with trauma in 2012, it module be Taylor, and not Painter, who module intend the nod.
