Ravens win but don't cover this week. Home opener, McCown is simply better than Griffin, and the Ravens offense is still starting two rookies on their left side. They had a whole bunch of procedural penalties this week, plus a horrible fumble where the center snapped the ball while Flacco was looking around audibling to his receivers.
They're absolutely better with McCown, its a testament to how awful they are as an organization that they sign a trash heap washed up injury prone basketcase primadonna instead, after passing on Wentz, who looked pretty good himself.
McCown vs. Baltimore last year:
Week 4 36 for 51 457 yds 2TD 0INT 111.3RATE - added a rushing touchdown in a win. He was dominant.
Week 8 21 for 38 212 yds and a touchdown in a loss, again, no turnovers. No fumbles no picks in 2 games.
I'm also in the situation where I probably have to stream somebody else instead of staying with Rivers. Some of the "better" available options: Dalton, Mariota, Flacco, Fitzpatrick, Tannehill, Wentz, Alex Smith. Damn it.
He's burned me in the past. I do have both AJ Green and Gio, so if I add Dalton my team probably becomes a bit more "boom or bust". Bud I certainly have to consider him.
