Raven' QB Curtis Painters Throws Three TD's!

[King Colt]

I was wondering if Painter got picked up by ANYONE so I looked it up. He is with the Ravens now and threw three touchdowns yesterday against the Falcons!!!! How many did he throw last year, all season with the Colts? I am shocked anyone much less the Ravens who could go to the super bowl would pick him up.

They have Caldwell as their QB coach, so maybe he saw something in Painter. It's possible that he realizes that they forced Painter to play in an offense designed for Peyton and that he had no chance from the start. It's also possible that he thinks Painter has the potential to be a decent backup.

Yeah that's exactly what happened. I know a lot of people like to consider Orlovsky to be the better of the 2, but the fact is that the coaches didn't change anything really about the offense while Painter was in. It was only when the Painter experiment failed and they made Dan the starter that they also decided to change up the offense so it wasn't the "Peyton-offense" anymore. I don't so much blame Painter as I do the coaching staff which it burns me a little that Clyde is still on the coaching staff. I want to believe they only kept him around just in case Peyton was able to come back to the Colts so hopefully Clyde will be replaced after this season.

I think it's good that Clyde remains. He can tell Luck about how Peyton studied and prepared, so it is sort of like Luck is learning from Peyton without Peyton being on the team.
