What everyone has been suspecting, just became more apparent.

It’s not enough for Henry and Lamar to just play good, they need to play MVP caliber football for Ravens to win.

They need to do something expeditiously

Idk Lamar threw 2 balls off his receiver's helmet in the 4th, they catch one and they win easily.

Lamar was balling, I'm saying that he would need to play MVP level to ensure a win. Even against a team like Cleveland, because the defense is lacking and receivers are not all that. And as we saw, receivers let them down. And defense let everything through.

I agree 100%. Somebody gonna over-draft Jalen Milroe in April next year and be in the same boat. If you're gonna draft these guys there has to be an acknowledgement that they are often under developed (pocket passing wise) or have limited experience in general. Richardson and Lance only had a small sample size of starts in college, which is a big red flag teams keep ignoring. To me that says they were not the next best player on your board though, which is why teams keep missing on QBs. Maybe AR can be good but no one can't sell me on him being higher on a 2023 draft board than Devon Witherspoon, Jalen Carter, Christian Gonzales, etc. Hell if the Colts didn't have a great RB, I'd have Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs ahead of AR on my draft board.
These MFs are too arrogant. They think they are better coaches than they really are. So they see a dude like AR who has the perfect physical traits, and think “I can teach him throwing mechanics, I can teach him to read defenses, I can teach him timing….”

No the fukk you can’t. QBs are learning that shyt at 10 years old now. There are QBs who have been working on their skill set for 15 years and still suck, but they think they can get AR ready in a couple months :dwillhuh:


Never mind the fact that these coaching staffs have never developed a QB in their entire career.

I wouldn’t say you can say they’re a good or bad team, yet. Outside of their game against the Bills, teams they beat are a combined 15-25. Teams that beat them are 9-5. So far they’ve done what they’re supposed to do against bad teams and lost to their AFC comp. Embarrassingly in one case

We are 6-2 with a big lead in our division. I’ll take it. I saw people saying we won’t even win our division. Long season I know. I feel good tho and had no expectations at the beginning of the season.

Oh yea the division was locked up wk 2. The Dolphins were the only real threat, and even beyond Allen always putting belt to their ass, once Tua went down they couldn’t even keep up outside of those two games. The Jets were fool’s gold, and the Pats are the Pats

Was at the bears commanders game :mjcry:

Jayden, nothing else needs to be said. We’re watching history. Once we get him a #2WR or TE it’s over.

But low key the real development is Quinn has the defense balling. That’s where we’re REALLY anhead of schedule bc that’s actually where we have all the youth.

And as crazy as it may sound, we are officially in a Super Bowl window :wow: legion of boom Hawks, Mahomes chiefs, hurt Eagles, etc. We gotta go now while Jayden is on a rookie deal. It won’t happen this year (or will it) but this offseason we have a shyt load of cap and Adam Peters gonna go to work. I can’t believe this shyt brehs. The lickback gon be crazy :damn:

Props to Famous Jameis but the way he played yesterday is the reason he is a backup in 2024. He should have had 3-5 interceptions and it reminded me of the Jameis in Tampa years. The honeymoon phase will wear off real quick if he don't somehow fix that shyt.
