How will success be measured?

If anything short of winning the SB is a failure for Grbac, then there is a good chance he can not succeed.
Winning back to back SBs is a tall order especially in this era of FA.

Perhaps the question should be can Elvis achieve a high level of play in BMore?

To that question, I say yes.

Elvis will benefit from good coaching for the first time in his career as a starter.
With Jamal Lewis as his RB, his play fake will be even more effective, because Lewis is a decoy that can not be ignored.
With defenses frozen by the play fake, it will give his receivers an opportunity to get open, and Elvis can hit the open receiver.

Finally, unlike KC last season, the onus of winning will not fall on Elvis' shoulder.
With the Raven defense, Elvis and the offense will be able to get out to early leads, and with Billick as HC, they will not go into a protect mode to maintain that lead.

He won't put up the kind of numbers that he did last season, but he will be more effective, and efficient.
JMHO.
