On the WR situation; the Ravens need players who can play like Hines Wart. Run blockers and fire drill guys who can get open and in position for Lamar as he scrambles. Lamar can extend most plays and that is a defense gasser and killer. This actually has to be in the playbook and practiced 10,000 times. Maybe worth a look...

"What do you think Mike?"

This seems like a favorable, yet not unreasonable view of the Ravens. It covers the whole current situation in the AFC North and is a good read. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/four-takeaways-from-the-afc-norths-crazy-offseason-that-rearranged-the-power-structure-in-favor-of-the-browns/

Breaking News that only ER posters know about and nobody else will know first but us: It's RG3. Pending passing the physical. Maybe...they draft a QB in the later rounds but it looks set for this season.

I'm with Spen and OTR on this. I see the same things so far. Lamar was thrown in cold and had to learn and adopt on the fly. I'm re watching his games and at times he shows very good awareness and good accuracy. That's something to build on. He has a great QB coach in James Urban who did a great job with McNabb and Vick. Roman will put all the pieces together. Lamar has valuable experience after playing 7 games. There is plenty to build on and with.

I'm still talking "Rebuild" here. When using that word it means to me that it will be very hard, if not impossible, to win the AFC North and hard to make the playoffs this season. The situation here is similar to the one the Browns faced heading into 2018 season. They went 9-7 barely missing the playoffs but with a lot of player and team development over the season. Then a strong off season has them standing with a lot of hope for this year. 10-6...11-5 does not seen unreasonable. I see the Ravens in this light. Any hope for the Ravens this year lies in "Parity" and a watered down league. It's lies in Eric DeCosta's roster building vision and having a very good draft that will fill the holes, add team depth and bare fruit next year. There's too much to accomplish in one year. Lamar needs receivers. He needs a solid O line that can excel in run blocking and hold their own in pass protection. He has excellent TE's and Ingram should be a great safety valve. Snead will contribute but Lamar has no true #1 WR to throw to. Plus....he has to develop as a solid at least average passer. There's no guarantee that will happen. The D needs players who can pressure the QB and LB's who are fast and can cover. In short, there's a lot of needs and holes to fill. When you factor in that it takes time and experience playing together for team units to mature and play fast, instinctive football, then "Yes" it's a rebuild year.

The Ravens can. Most teams won't be able to.

They are banking on Bowser and Williams stepping up. Williams could be the man if he stays healthy. He broke out his junior year at Alabama. It's his junior year here. They also have an awesome secondary and they are counting on it to make turnovers and coverage sacks. Eric's not done yet.

That hospital, of which she is a Board member, paid a half a million dollars for her book! She had to pitch somebody, or some committee to buy it. And somebody to turn their head.

Conflict of Interest doesn't exist for some people. Get in a position of power and authority and the temptation to make deals that increase your finances is too much for many people to handle. Then there are those who seek power and authority solely to gain wealth. Selfless public servant????? They no longer exist at the higher levels of government. So...here we are with another crappy Mayor of Baltimore. 8,000 unused copies. Must not be much of a book. Most of her apology....if you can call it that....was about her book and wanting to help children. If so, then why not break even?...make no profit because she is the Mayor and on this Board of Directors....and simply wants to help children.

Well...your on record the Cleveland will win the division by 3 games. Absurd.

And Pitt shoulda beat the Browns, Chargers, Raiders and Saints. And the Ravens shoulda beat the Saints, Chiefs and Browns. Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda.....Stop now. You're embarrassing yourself.

I think picking the Browns as favorites to win the division right now is fair. But they are not scary. They look good but not scary. No way they win the division by 3 games. There's as much a chance of that happening as my family giving me one of these devices for Christmas....

Special teams took a step back last year. not a big step, but it hurt the overall team game winning formula. I hope Bethel helps because i don't want to see him on defense.

On paper the Browns look very good and at this point in time, should be the favorite to win the North. They still have to play the schedule. Harbaugh and the Ravens won't concede shit...and the Ravens have the best secondary in the NFL.

Love the signings. The Ravens secondary should be one of the best in the NFL. That's pretty damn good.

This had quite the calming effect on me.

It certainly looks very bright.... This is one of those moves that puts you over the top.

So many players are gone. It's crazy. It started with Flacco and has been snowballing. Like Eisenberg says.... What the hell is Decosta up too?! What did Martindale do to piss him off? As a Ravens fan I have to look at this and think. And that stresses me out. Right now it looks like the Browns are going to win the North this year! Stress Break! OK. I'm going to minimize, justify and rationalize this: They lost a ton of brains and leadership on defense. Suggs, Weddle and Mosley...but....(this is where I twist the truth to suit me)...BUT!....really... who and what did they lose that really hurts? ZaDarius and CJ.You can't give Mosley a 5 year, 85 mil with 51 mil guaranteed. You can if you want to kill the CAP and hamstring this team. The rest? DeCosta is moving towards younger, faster, stronger....and CAP friendly contracts. That's my spin and I'm sticking with it for....about 5 minutes. See ya!

Just remember....you have to pass on matching this offer.... Have to say good_bye and good luck.

All fans can see this time of the year is who the team is losing. So you naturally feel like the Ravens are losing and getting weaker. It's scary. And a decent wait to see how they fill the holes.

This has to be a business money decision for Suggs. My guess is the Ravens offered him something around the vet minimum and Suggs ego can't handle that. He lives in Arizona....played college ball there...so let him finish out with a few snaps there.

Jags are getting pounded for this deal....
