Flacco would have been run out of the NFL.

Cool idea to build team unity by visiting Gettysburg.

Joe won't be satisfied with anything less than the playoffs every year.

Jones was a helluva quarterback. A shame injuries and Irsay cost him a great career.

They need a good hands, tough WR to go over the middle. I don't want to see Torrey doing that. It wouldn't be a good use of his other skills.

And, as usual, I find myself agreeing with John Eisenberg: http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-The-Ravens-Are-Still-The-Ravens/311eb243-37c6-4e68-b5c0-98b34c85c5cc

The defense will definitely be better. The offense will have MacKinnie back, hopefully, for the whole season. Boldin's loss hurts and I still don't think we have any idea who, if anyone, will show up to take his place. I love Torrey Smith but I don't think he can be a possession-type #1 WR. He can be a burner #1 WR. One of the second stringers must step up. So, on the whole, I agree with Banks.

Another super interesting season ahead for the Ravens

I wouldn't want him for more than a $1 million/year for 2 years. He isn't going to be on the field that much with Pierce and Juschzyhlrrtmt playing.

Imagine! Not drafting a guy because he drinks coca-cola!

I really believe that in the big picture the Ravens have more talent this year than last. Defense will be staunch if a good leader emerges. Boldin's loss is the biggest downer for me. But it is still possible for one of the other guys to step up or perhaps bring a vet in.

They might PUP him just in case they need a body.

Rookies and quarterbacks is good enough for me. 13 days...less than 2 weeks!!

Ravens' training camp is only 17 days away and counting!!

I am just so impressed by McKinnie's turning a new leaf. That's hard for a football player of his age. Barring injuries, the O-line will be solid.

This is good news. I've got my fingers crossed for Jameel McClain too.

FWIW, I see anything from an 8-8 season to a 10-6. I think they'll go to the playoffs and quite possibly take the Division. Its actually a better team than last year's but the schedule is brutal.

Know what you mean...I was there too. That was some season. Start out 1-4, win 9 straight and take the division.

Just Great guys!!! Thanks for posting these. I'll always remember being at those games.

All they have to do is make the playoffs and I'll be ecstatic. I'm wary of a post-Super Bowl letdown but Harbs might not let that happen. Also helps that offense is young and defense has so many new good players.

I agree about Jacoby staying in 3rd spot. Somehow, I've got a feeling Doss and/or Thompson will be decent #2's. No one will be as good as Anquan, though.

I know. I'm amazed.

Two guys cut from the same personality mold!
