He also spent time with the CIF’s Wichita Force and the Indoor Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers — the same arena team that produced Kurt Warner.
Before his pro career got started, Olson was a career backup in college, spending four seasons at Stanford before transferring as a graduate student to Clemson. He never threw a pass at Stanford and completed one of three passes at Clemson for a loss of 1 yard.
All of his passes in college can fit in one gif:

The Ravens had other options at quarterback. Why not try a upgrade in the QB situation?
Why sign David Olson?
Re: Why sign David Olson?
This could be why:
They don't know how long Flacco's injury is going to last. If he's over it in a week, then they can cut Olson. They would sign somebody like Kaepernick if they were sure Flacco would miss time. If Joe's OK, they can cut Olson in a week or two. They wouldn't do that with Kaep.
Per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Olson's college coach Jim Harbaugh vouched for him to brother John Harbaugh.

Re: Why sign David Olson?
But with Mallet being the starting quarterback, I'm bet in a player who could help the team...
Kaep is not the answer (his salary is high)...
but with retrospect of the Medical staff of the Ravens
Flacco could be out a long time lol

Re: Why sign David Olson?
Kaep is underachieving
Olson is young, of course he's not ready, but he can contribute
