A New NFL Trend by the Baltimore Ravens ?

How so? It's still an NFL economic roster theory going around. Window to win a SB is open while you have a franchise QB on a rookie contract and more money invested in the greater roster around them.

Just because we didn’t win one once Flacco got paid doesn’t mean we can’t or anyone else for that matter. We just didn’t have good enough pieces around Joe, plus too many blown 2nd round picks didn’t help either.

He’s talking the initial knee jerk with such short time between. Give it some time and we will see

What? This thread was about the ravens “changing the nfl” with our run first offense.

It’s not a knee jerk reaction. The nfl is not going to move to 5 QB rosters etc. Theres nothing to wait and see about.

Oh no lol definitely not moving to 5 QB rosters. I didn’t even realize that was a thing.
 
The Ravens weren't a 5 QB roster either tho. I didn't mean to imply that. But "what if'ing" that concept as another means of tactic teams might try to employ if there was success with a run-based approach to a QB. Because you'd need more than one due to greater injury risk.
 
I touched on many points in the OP, it wasn't about 5 QBs. It was about more a trend of rookie QB and spending more on D. And then extrapolating that to a run-based QB approach that we were specifically doing, could start a new trend if we were successful with it....and how that might lead one day to depth charts with 4 or 5 QBs on the cheap dual-threat QBs found in late rounds....kinda like how teams now treat the RB position as a committee approach, dont draft them high, get a lot of good cheap ones in late rounds and UDFAs even (Lindsay for instance).
 
Anyway.....nothing really matters. Every team wins in different ways. For some teams running the ball does matter for some it doesn't. There are always going to be an array of tactics and philosophies to football and how to win. Just tried proposing a theory is all.

Opinions and theories are good. Thing is now we'll be able to actually see what we do contractwise with a QB on his rookie contract.

Rivers, Brees, Brady, and Luck, vs 4 teams on rookie QB contracts. Might be an interesting barometer of things to come...

um rivers and brady are playing each other...

luck vs mahomes
prescott vs goff (both on rookie deals)
rivers vs brady (both not on rookie deals)
brees vs foles (i guess wentz but he's not playing and they're also paying foles 14m)
 
there are four from each side of the coin, sure some play each other.
