Might see Webb moved to FS- dont be surprised.

In the future or next season, depending on Ed Reed situation. But eventually you might see Webb moved to FS. He is smart, a playmaker like Reed with great instincts. Plus, now has blown 2 ACL's already a better way to protect him. Plus, this solves the Ed Reed successor problem.

So....take our best CB, hell one of the leagues best CB's and move him back to safety. I dont think so. If anybody gets moved its probably jimmy smith. But it will likely be christian thompson or somebodyvthey draft if reed doesnt come back.

He would make a fantastic S, was in college. He has blown his knee out twice in 4 years on benign plays. Plus, this really could be Ed Reed's last year. I dont know how confident Webb will feel as a corner having this happen twice. He could easily blow it out again.

I could see them moving him back there in a few years, but seriously doubt it next season. They'll draft someone.

I remember the last time Webb blew out his knee, he said it took him two years to feel good about it again. That was last years season. Then again. I dont know.

When they drafted him they described him as "a poor man's Ed Reed". He would be a great free safety, I think.

Not happening. He's our best CB.

And here I am thinking that ridiculous threads only creep up after a loss.

Shame on me I suppose.

Why does this always pop up? You don't move an all pro corner to safety unless they are too old.

Usually yes, but the Ravens are in a unique situation. Webb would be a fantastic Safety. Webb has torn his ACL twice in 4 years. I'm not sure playing Webb at CB is in the clubs or his best interest. Especially with the amount of corners the Ravens have. Next year, I would love to see a healthy 100% Webb at CB and Reed back, but injuries and the cap might prevent that. I remember Webb talking about recovering from his ACL tear and said it took him 2 years to feel right and confident in it. This happening a second time will make it even more difficult mentally.

Last time I think he tore it later in the season? The only thing I could find was this:

"The good news is that Webb is on pace to return to the team perhaps as early as offseason workouts in May or June."
