FlaccoForever

The opinion of some lowly fan like you on a message board doesn't matter in the big picture. If you believe that last year was their best shot then fine that's your opinion but should the Ravens concede this year because of your weak minded opinion? HELL NO

That's your freakin problem right there you lunatic, the Ravens believe they can make a run this year. It doesn't matter what you think they can or can't do. They are not going to trade Cary Williams now so squash it.

I think it will be him, he knows the division and that alone will appeal to the Ravens (just like Bobbie Williams).

First of all crav Brees was pretty good under Cameron his last two years in San Diego, he just wasn't elite. You are right Brees did have LT but he also had Antonio Gates who was developed in Cameron's system. Yes Cameron has not properly used Boldin but hopefully Jacoby Jones can be a consistent outside threat which will allow Boldin to stay in the slot. Cameron finally has the players to run his system properly. He could have been more creative with what he had but at the end of the day he can't make Houshmanzadeh, Mason and Boldin run faster. He wants to run a vertical passing offense and now he has the threats that will allow him to do that.

You do make a good point but you do have to wonder how healthy was he. Stallworth also hasn't set the world on fire since he left the Ravens.

When you have Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Haloti Ngata on your front 7 it helps you in bringing pressure. Rex doesn't have a front seven quite as good in New York but he has Revis and Cromartie as his CBs. While Rex is a great defensive coach it still doesn't eliminate the fact that he had and continues to have special players to make things much easier for him. Cameron has worked with WRs who flat out didn't scare defenses, Derrick Mason garnered respect but not fear. Todd Heap was and continues to be a shell of himself so he wasn't as good as he was early in his career. Don't get me started on Mark Clayton or Demetrius Williams. The trio of Boldin, Mason and Houshmanzadeh could catch but they all were basically the same type of WR, no speed. Smith, Jones, Boldin, Dickson, and Pitta all present matchup problems and will give Cameron more flexibility. I will admit that Cameron could have been more creative but he can only do so much.

Rex also had special players in Ray, Ed, Suggs, and Ngata. Outside of Ray Rice no other player on offense scared defenses before last year. With the emergence of Torrey Smith, Ed Dickson, Dennis Pitta, and Jacoby Jones to go along with Boldin and Rice Cameron has more to work with. He can be more flexible, you need dynamic playmakers in the Air Coryell offense.

Vmax that is very well said man. At the end of the day it comes down to the personnel you have. Cameron wants to run a vertical passing offense and now he has the weapons to do that.

Aww you are so darn cute, go back to sleep Billy boy and enjoy dreamland.

He's still going into the Hall of Fame and who let you on this board you're the enemy LOL.

Getting a DUI before he signed his contract wasn't a smart move by Blackmon at all. I agree though that he will make their WR core better once he signs. The sad part about it is Evans hasn't fully taken advantage of the opportunity with Blackmon holding out. I heard that Laurent Robinson hasn't been overly impressive and Evans is still on the bubble, if he can't make the Jags WR core then it will be really hard for him to make any other team.

Yeah my buddy told me the same thing, he hasn't wowed anyone. Evans is a good guy and a true pro but sometimes it comes to a point when a player just doesn't have it anymore. He made that great one handed catch in the playoff game against Houston but he hasn't made a habit of making catches like that throughout his career. He's relied on his speed since he isn't a great route runner and now that part is declining. The Jags have a mediocre WR core and he's on the bubble? I think he's done but I do wish him all the best.

I agree with everything you said, I'm still a little irked that a fraction of fans wanted Lee Evans back. The man is on the decline and injuries are starting to catch up to him. A friend of mine lives in Jacksonville and he told me that Evans has looked solid in camp but is still on the roster bubble fighting for the 4th WR spot.

Ngata, McKinnie and Smith are expected to be back on Monday full go and McPhee has already been practicing full go so stop worrying for now. Kindle is having a strong camp so his stock is up at this point.

Matty Ice is starting to lose some of his street cred and popularity. First he wasn't voted on NFL Network's top 100 list by the players and Ron Jaworski put Joe in the top ten of his QB list and not Ryan. He might be or will end up being the 3rd best QB in his own division by the time the season ends with Brees on top followed by the emerging Cam Newton.

Ok I apologize for going a little overboard, I understand your concern about the Oline. Lets see how things play out the rest of training camp and the preseason.

I would prefer you use the word concerned when referring to the Oline, it's not a life or death situation so no need to use the word scared. That annoys the hell out of me when fans say they are scared about certain issues with the Ravens, they don't directly affect you personally. If the Oline continues to be a problem it's not going to ruin or end your life. Can you please use the word concerned?

My bad LOL, I've had a long day today. So is this part of the heckling process for the new guy along with getting blindsided by the force that is papa? LOL

Crav, I definitely understand where you are coming from. I had my doubts when it came to the WRs too but Torrey is wired differently then those guys are. The man played most of his rookie year with a sports hernia and he didn't let it get to him. He did exactly what Lee Evans was supposed to do last year and he was clutch in the AFC Title game. I know it's hard to trust the Ravens when it comes to WRs but I'm telling you man please I'm begging you to give Torrey a chance, he will be the one to end the WR drought. Clayton, Taylor, Darling and the other scraps weren't ready for the big time, Torrey is ready, the man caught the game winning TD against the hated Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Speaking of Lee Evans he hasn't been doing so great with the Jags in camp and is on the bubble.

I agree that he gave a very accurate evaluation of the current state of the Ravens. There are question marks on both lines but things do change in the NFL pretty quickly so we shall see if the Ravens resolve these issues as the season progresses. No final predictions papa, no team truly should be eliminated from the Superbowl discussion, you never know what could happen. You have every right to give the Ravens no shot at winning the Superbowl but it doesn't mean it will come true, in the real world there are no guarantees.

You are way off base when you say you're worried about Torrey Smith. Smith is having a great camp and looks like a much more polished receiver. You will be eating a lot of crow this year if you continue to doubt Torrey Smith, I suggest you change your tune otherwise I will have to whip up a special crow dish for you.

I said the other day in another thread that Preston misses Billick because Billick gave him plenty to work with. Preston could write about how Billick treated the media, his Camp Creampuff training camps, and the issues in the lockerroom towards the end of the Billick era. Since Harbaugh has been here Preston doesn't have much to work with because Harbaugh doesn't give into Preston and his games. The Ravens have stability at quarterback with Flacco and throughout the organization in general and that makes things boring for Preston.

That is not a hoax but he is showing signs that he's changing. Maybe the growth of Smith, Dickson, Pitta and the addition of Jacoby Jones will allow Cam to truly run his offense the way he wants to since he has more speed (Cam loves big tall fast athletic targets). It still doesn't change the fact that he could have been more creative with what he had to work with, time will tell if we see a different Cameron.

It was a hoax: "cbssportsnflbal Ravens RapidReports So looks like "Ben Grubbs on Flacco/audible" was social media hoax. Reporter that asked the question later clarified it was never said. 2 hours ago Reply Retweet Favorite" So much for that.
