I came to a conclusion yesterday. Eric knows the team is in trouble. He knows he can’t fix it fast. He hires minter as a patsy to take the blame. He points to trying to get Crosby and landing Trey as examples of look what I did to help minter. When minter fails Eric survives for another few yrs of getting paid.

But he has never proven he can just be a pocket passer well.

On the Bain front I hope it becomes a Suggs issue. I take him in the 2nd easy. The tape don’t lie.

I don’t think this yr is the issue. Yr 3 and further is my worry. I don’t want to trade for a guy who could be lame in a couple yrs.

Boss is a big no unless he takes a very team friendly deal.

No. I look at his tenure as with leaders and then without. Harbs is also not the only reason I think they have sucked now. Like in Dallas the gm is a big part of it.

To high for a guard.

Linemen

I want that monster dt or Bain. If a stud Lt drops to us I’d go there too. No other ol spots I want at 14.

I heard Trey said he had expected and hoped to play with maxx. So the idea was out there.

But I said Eric. Eric has not been the gm the length of the franchise. You chose to add in Ozzie yrs who did get contracts done early. So since you chose to take my statement out of context and add in other yrs why can’t I look before Jerry?

Trey clearly quit on Cincy last yr. Brown forced him to be there so he comes up lame and still gets paid.

The yrs under billick that sucked billick said I got my money do what you want. He literally quit on the team twice. As for the comparison between both franchises and bringing in earlier yrs I raise the 90s and Landry Dallas teams. More sb wins. More success. But Eric as gm and Jerry as gm have very similar results.

The raiders are going to get far less. Trey looks like he could be a bargain.

I’m hearing they were surprised Hendrickson has been so cheap. Make excuse on injury front. Ink Trey and save 2 picks.

Hell yeah. Somehow we backed out of the Crosby deal.

So 2022 was a good yr? https://imgflip.com/i/863lny

I think they do the void yrs. I think it would be foolish to give him new money.

That was just stupid. They will regret that deal.

What’s that win loss record post Ray? I said a long time ago that once the leaders left it hasn’t been the same. So before Ray et al the ravens made the playoffs 100% of the time. They had a 6-5 record in the playoffs. That’s a .545 win rate. They always won at least 1 game. now post Ray. We have missed the playoffs 6 times. That is a 54% make rate. In that time we are 4-7in the playoffs. That’s a .364 win rate. In 3 of the 7 yrs we were 1 and done. so let’s look at Dallas. We will make it fair and just look at the same 13 yrs as the ravens. In that time they made the playoffs 6 times. That is a 46% make rate. In the playoff yrs they are 3-6 for a .333 win rate. In the 6 yrs they made it they 1 and downed 3 times. So in the same amount of time the ravens missed the playoffs 6 times to the cowboys 7. That’s a 54% to 46% show rate. We were 4-7 compared to their 3-6. That’s .364 to .333 win rate. And both teams have a 1 and done in 3 different seasons. So please explain how both teams are not incredibly similar in their success or lack there of? I go back to the article I read many yrs ago asking an anonymous player how many players are just there for the paycheck. He said 80%.

We didn’t make the playoffs. I see many similarities in how both franchises are run.

The tag number for Lindy was 25. Once he was up for that it became the new number. If you make an offer of 4 yrs 80 mil in advance of the tag number bein* listed you probably have a deal. He still he is right along with creed in kc. Now he is making 2 mil over that tag number and that’s the tax. eric doesn’t get deals done early. Other teams do. We really do resemble Dallas in many ways. Sit back and allow the market to reset around us.

Like share her said. There is a bad team tax that is payed. Don’t let guys get to fa if they are important. Ink them after yr 3.

Kolar is an underrated te. He might well be a steal at that price. Stout could hurt.

That is why I said it really should have been done already. We are just hearing the deals that have been worked on for a week or so.
