papasmurfbell Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 http://ravenswire.usatoday.com/2018/01/14/which-ravens-player-was-the-most-disappointing-in-2017/ I do not get Perriman or Maclin. How was there big expectations for either of them? Perriman had 33 catches coming in. Maclin has been hurt constantly. From this list I say West. Quote
tsylvester Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Oh Jefferson for sure, from a media stand point. I was not thrilled with his signing, but the front office and local media sure thought he would make the secondary great.... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 I think it is clear now that he was a system guy in Zona. He really was not good. Quote
vmax Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Flacco.He gets hurt before the season starts, takes 8 games before he can play ok....by then it was too late.He had no rapport with any player.This season was on the rocks before opening day. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Ugh...we had a winning season. Flacco finished strong. I am tired of keeping draft picks too long to see if they pan out. Wasted roster spots. Quote

Also I think he had a back issue for a long time. I do not believe the lifting weights story at all. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 So tell me how much time Bortles/Keenum/Foles threw in the off season too...please... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Don't know. I just know Joe doesn't;t bc he said so. Total 9-5er. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Enjoy the negative hole you live in Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Enjoy that great view of the sand you live in. Quote
Tornado700 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Perriman, actually for the last three years. A TOTAL BUST. The sooner he goes, the better we'll be. Also, Maclin started the season on very high hopes, but was oft injured. Disappointing but not a bust. West- he will be let go, since we now have three very good running backs next year. I just hope we can get an additional draft pick for him, like a 3rd rounder. Several teams out there would want him. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 The article is only about the draft. And looking at the last 3-4 yrs you only have a few starters or even contributors. That said MAclin has been injured a lot the last few yrs. He only has 2 seasons of all 16 games. I did post an article about the Revans avoiding injury prone player yesterday. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 What sand? I see the reality, I'm just not hours of my life on a team I dislike openly. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 If you objectively look at this franchise it is obvious they are progressing to being one of the irrelevant teams. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Yup, I get it. I also don't dedicate my life to pointing that out. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 Then you should join them down in Fla for the circle jerk. Quote
Tornado700 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Grub is right papa. You are just a hater and you have dedicated your life to spreading the word. In reference to your thread about how the Jags have progressed while we are regressing, all teams go from the top to at least the middle and vice versa. We were, 1n1996 & 1997, the leagues laughing stock. Then three years later, we won the superbowl. This Ravens team is NOT regressing, they are just staying mediocre. That is unacceptable if you are a a Raven fan. This team will return to the top sooner than later, barring all this bad luck with injuries. As for me, I'm sticking with them. I'm a real fan, not a hater. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 18, 2018 Author Posted January 18, 2018 But when I was a fan I was saying the same things. The only difference between the late 90s into the early 2000s and now is they don't run things the same way. The drafts have consistently been disasters lately while those pretty much rock yr in yr out. Also back then they got FA who were effective and contributed. Also with Art being cash poor they were careful with a dollar instead of wasting them like crazy and getting int9o a yearly cap problem. Remember Miami used to be good every yr. The Rams back in the day were great every yr. Was consistently were a SB contender. I could go on and on. Those teams with bad bang fell back and loved in the bottom. That is what happens when bad decision making happens. One moment you are on top of the world then you find yourself with the dregs. The Ravens with poor mang are becoming accustomed to being at that level. Fans seem to be acclimating to the new normal. Quote
oldno82 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Papa if you're not a fan why do you come here? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 19, 2018 Author Posted January 19, 2018 BC I have been coming here for yrs. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 The first step is admitting you have as problem... Quote
Spen Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Negativity falsely described as objectivity.......dislike described as objectivity. It's just lame.....and sad. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 19, 2018 Author Posted January 19, 2018 So when I liked the team and was critical of them how do you explain that? Quote
