The Baltimore Ravens are re-signing fan-favorite backup quarterback Tyler \u2018Snoop\u2019 Huntley. Here are Baltimore Beatdown\u2019s instant reactions and grades to the move!<\/p>\n
Re-signing Tyler Huntley was a no brainer after how he filled in for Lamar Jackson to keep the season afloat. Arguably the Ravens two best wins came with Huntley under center last season and an argument could be made that Baltimore would have made the playoffs if Huntley had started over Cooper Rush earlier in the year. As far as I am concerned, Huntley should remain Jackson\u2019s backup for the foreseeable future. \u2014 Dustin Cox <\/p>\n
This felt like a given, even with the new coaching staff. After last year\u2019s disaster of signing Cooper Rush (which many, including myself, fell for on the premise of Rush\u2019s winning record as a backup and being able to lean Derrick Henry), Snoop came in and kept the season alive. He\u2019s simply the perfect backup for Lamar Jackson, both on and off the field with their connections. Snoop has grown from his first stint in Baltimore, traveling to a couple team before he returned. He looked much more settled and in command on the offense, driving the unit with force and decisiveness. It\u2019s nice to see last year\u2019s mistake rectified. On a cheap 2-year $5M deal, this is an absolute A+ from the Ravens. Now bring me that Lamar extension. \u2014 Zach Canter<\/p>\n
Huntley was always the most optimal backup to Lamar Jackson and that was realized last season. He\u2019s an ideal scheme fit and has proven he can keep the Ravens afloat as a spot-starter. After the debacle of Cooper Rush\u2019s signing last offseason, retaining Huntley is welcome news and good for all parties. The fact that he and Jackson are close friends is a plus as well for morale and locker room chemistry. This is a solid \u201cA\u201d move. \u2014 Frank Platko<\/p>\n
Signing Cooper Rush never made sense for the Ravens and now Eric DeCosta has righted that wrong by resigning the only QB who should be Lamar Jackson\u2019s backup – Tyler Huntley. Huntley has always filled in very well when called upon, including this past season when he won both games that he started. It feels wrong for Huntley not to be in Baltimore and I\u2019m very happy they have him for the next two years. \u2014 Stephen Bopst<\/p>\n
Keeping Tyler Huntley was low on the list of priorities this offseason, but it was still an important move. Cooper Rush quickly proved to be one of Eric DeCosta\u2019s biggest free agency misses while Huntley enjoyed his best stint with the team, headlined by signature victories over Chicago and Green Bay. Snoop understands this team, the culture, and is beloved by the fans.
