Re: McNair now a Raven
 

it was only a matter of time, and it also shows that there is NO loyalty in sports. he was probably the best qb that organization ever had besides moon

Re: McNair now a Raven
 

I wonder how McNair's contract is going to work out for the Ravens...doesn't he have a huge salary this year?

Derrick Mason's wearing a big smile, I'll wager.

Re: McNair now a Raven
 

The Ravens just became a serious contender in their division.

Re: McNair now a Raven
 

very true matty, boller was surely not the answer, but with mcnair they have a proven qb finally

They signed him to a new deal. $11M up front, $1M base salary.

He renegotiated a new contract with the Ravens (it was supposedly done weeks ago after Tenn. gave him permission to shop around). It basically pays him around 13 mill. in bonuses and salary this year.

I am not sure how this affects the Titans though. They will have to eat any prorated bonuses left from the original contract.

All this means is that all the loudmouthed ravens fans in my area are gonna be running their mouths! I can already hear the argument about how McNair is better than Brunell, blah blah blah. Anyone know how their stats compare to each other?

Re: McNair now a Raven
 

Overall, Brunell's stats are a little better and I mean a little. Same completion % and INTs. McNair has more rushing TD's and rushing yards (and Super Bowl appearances).

McNair is good but he is always injured... if baltimore's o line plays like they did last year then they will be in some trouble still

Re: McNair now a Raven
 

The Ravens problems may begin with quarterback, but they don't end there. This was a good pickup for this year for them, but I don't see it as a building block toward something special.

Baltimore still has a very tough division to get out of - Pitssburgh and Cincinnati aren't going to be pushovers. This signing means they haven't given up in Baltimore, though.

Re: McNair now a Raven
 

That's a lot of money. The Ravens do have an option of extending the contract don't they?

.[/quote]exactly. they are trying to win now. they are still in need of a qb for the future. does this signing remind anyone of the skins a couple of years back? signing players at the end of their careers to try and somehow buy a championship?

i wonder how kyle boller feels about losing his job, because there is no way he starts over mcnair.

Right. This would be one expensive cattle prod if it's supposed to make Boller step up and compete for the starting job
