Troy Smith
Positives: Hit Derrick Mason in stride for a 40-yard touchdown pass, splitting Frank Walker and Tom Zbikowski. Building chemistry with his receivers, including rookie Justin Harper. Starting to identify his targets quickly.
Negatives: Displayed little touch or timing on two overthrown fade routes in a red-zone drill. Fumbled one of his first snaps under center.
Stock: Starting to rise as he resembles the swaggering quarterback who built momentum during minicamps to emerge as the early favorite to start the opener.
Kyle Boller

Stock: Starting to rise as he resembles the swaggering quarterback who built momentum during minicamps to emerge as the early favorite to start the opener.
Kyle Boller
Positives: Mostly steady, cutting down on his interceptions. Did a better job of looking off receivers in his progressions. Darting the football into tight corners to a small target: rookie runner Ray Rice.
Negatives: Needs to recognize the pass rush quicker and get rid of the football, exit a collapsing pocket or chew out his struggling offensive line. Throws off his back foot too often.
Stock: Holding steady as his strategy seems to be to take a cautious approach and not push the envelope.
Joe Flacco
Negatives: Needs to recognize the pass rush quicker and get rid of the football, exit a collapsing pocket or chew out his struggling offensive line. Throws off his back foot too often.
Stock: Holding steady as his strategy seems to be to take a cautious approach and not push the envelope.
Joe Flacco
Positives:
Hit Marcus Smith on a 60-yard bomb. Throws the best passes of the three candidates. Mobility is advanced for his size.
Negatives: First pass in full-team drills was intercepted by linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo. Picked off later by Ronnie Prude. Telegraphing some throws, needs to anticipate defensive adjustments.

Stock: Bell curve hasn't dipped up or down recently. Taking the least reps with the starting offense.
