(+) Willis McGahee was supposed to be a complimentary back to Knowshon Moreno last season, but seized the starting spot and looked to have a new life in those legs
(+) Averaged 4.8 yards per carry last season, the second highest mark of his career (previous high was 5.0 in 2009 with minimal carries)
(+) Definitely has the inside track on the starting job with the team having lost faith in Moreno and rookie Ronnie Hillman not quite ready
(+) Should get most of the Red Zone carries and usually excels in the role
(+) Has 64 total TDs in 120 games (79 starts), which comes to over eight TDs per 16-game season
(+) Had seven 100-yard games in 2011
(+) Running backs in a Manning-led offense usually put up great numbers and can expect to get the ball both on the ground and through the air…
(–) …however, he hasn’t had more than 15 catches in a single season since 2008
(–)At 31-years old (in October), Willis isn’t really a premier back anymore so you can’t expect too much out of him
(–) The offense should quite be a bit more wide open this season with Manning at the helm…meaning McGahee’s number of carries could suffer

Despite his current RB2 status on the Ravens, McGahee has had himself quite a career thus far. 6,779 total yards (5,787 rushing) and 53 total TDs (50 rushing) over the course of his 6-year career are numbers any running back would be happy with.
It's amazing to think of how good he might have been if not for this fateful play:
Willis signed a seven-year, $40.12 million contract in 2007 that included $15 million guaranteed, a $7.5 million signing bonus, and a $6.5 roster bonus in the second year (already collected). The dollars are outlined below:
2010 - $3.6 million
2011 - $6 million
2012 - $6.5 million
2013 - $7.2 million
2014 - Free Agent
Despite dealing with various injuries in the past (including, of course, that blown-out knee), McGahee has missed just 6 games in his 6-year career and none in 2009
