Future Is Now for Flacco

And then there was one. The Baltimore Ravens have announced that Joe Flacco will be the starting QB for their season opener against the Bengals this Sunday. Ozzie Newsome has called Flacco the future of the franchise, but didn't realize that the future would be upon him so soon. With Kyle Boller out with a shoulder injury and Troy Smith unavailable with a tonsil infection it falls to Flacco to get under center. You really never know how you're going to get your shot. Let's hope Joe takes advantage of this early opportunity and doesn't relinquish the starting job.
