Who's behind Flacco on the depth chart?

Does the name Tyrod Taylor ring a bell?

The Ravens drafted Taylor in the 7th round of the draft in the 2011 draft. He is strength is his mobility both in and out of the pocket. Some teams evaluated him as a quarterback as well as a wide receiver because of the speed he possesses.

Former Carolina Panthers Hunter Cantwell is listed as the third quarterback and with a little luck and a lot of hard work could elevate above Taylor on the depth chart. During his first preseason, the 25-year-old delivered an underwhelming performance, finishing those four games with a 57.2 passer rating.

Unless the Ravens resign Mark Bulger or sign another veteran quarterback to backup Joe Flacco, this is your man. If neither comes to fruition, this will mark the first time in Flacco's career in which he is the most experience quarterback on the team, the mentor not the mentee.
