Dammit, now I need to go change my vote in the Flacco vs Ryan thread.

He had 5 TDs and over 1k in yards. He still had a purpose.

I just sent a text to my friend who is a Ravens fan, he's not going to be happy about this at all

Think this has anything to do with Steve McNair's passing?

I would say most definitely. Probably a mixture of some depression sucking energy when lets face it he needs it the most.......and add in maybe he wants to do something different now....friends passing often serve as "life is short" reminders

exactly, and at his age, he's for sure having those feelings.

Those 2 were a tandem for a loong time, they even played together in Baltimore for a couple years, it would have me thinking too

Wow Baltimore must have the sorriest WR corps in the league along with the Bears now.

Derrick Mason could still play, he a had a good year last season.
