Now, if we ran into the 49ers in the Super Bowl and Shanahan hasn't already ran McCaffrey and Samuel into the ground that might be game over.

I never made a claim about how Rashod Bateman was productive. My point was the Ravens spent a high pick on him and still added more players and didn't wait for him to "develop". |

I'll say the same thing I said when what's his head was writing obituaries for the Chiefs a couple years back (was it Pete?). Whatever happens we have got Patrick Mahomes and they have not. Get me to the playoffs and every single game, no matter the opponent, we will have a punchers chance. And if you have a punchers chance in every game, you have a shot at the Super Bowl. This team can win a Super Bowl - it has Patrick Mahomes. Is it as likely as some other teams we've had (or will have)? Eh, probably not. But you know what, I think we all believe the 2020 team was better than the 2022 team on paper, right? Welp, 2022 won, 2020 didn't. Never write the guy off. Ever. But maybe don't plan on superhuman every offseason anymore. |

Citing the Ravens as some sort of model franchise for developing/acquiring skill position players is apex dipshittery. |

Evans is one of the most hilariously and freakishly consistent guys the league's ever seen. And he's done it weirdly under the radar.
I've admitted in the past that I simply hate his style of play. I can't stand the big jump ball guys - they just seem like gimmicks. But man, when you do it as well as he has for as long as he has...well, I lose that argument pretty soundly. Guy pretty much has to be a 1st ballot HoFer, doesn't he? |

![]() Adding OBJ and Zay Flowers in one offseason is far better than what Veach has done in 6 years here at skill position. All he did is trade a HOF unicorn and ultimately replace him with a 2nd round WR from a small school who is now our new gadget/YAC guy. It's not just the top end talent. The depth sucks too. Devin Duvernay would be useful here and is barely used now in Baltimore. |

It’s plain and simple… we bet on Toney to be wr1 and hes probably a gadget guy. We bet on skyy to be WR2 and he ain’t it. Mvs was always going to be a low target guy. Watson was a bubble guy we never expected to be elevated to a large target share. We placed bets on these and it didn’t work out. The one bet we got right is the thing we didn’t anticipate - nobody expected rice to be our WR1 knowing Reid’s history with rookie usage. Add on top of that defenses adjusting to the catch and run offense we tripled down on and kelce not having the same juggernaut level impact as last year, and yeah… a bunch of guys asked to play one level up are going to regress. |

He'd check off every box (though I don't think he's ever been an All Pro, which is odd). |

Kelce has regressed from last year (predictable at age 34)… which puts more pressure on the WR’s to produce.
McKinnon has severely regressed from last year and his missing production in the passing game also puts more pressure on the WR’s. |

You have an odd way of framing this discussion. The difference between what Veach did and the Ravens did is literally OBJ and some change. The Ravens drafted Flowers a hair before we drafted Rice. Then they signed a guy coming off major surgery and a year away from football who's been...okay. We decided to open an opportunity for a former 1st rounder who demonstrated the ability to be among the more dynamic playmakers in the league. We missed - shit happens. This gaping chasm in approach you're seeing here simply doesn't exist. |

Does anyone know when Justyn Ross will be off the commissioners exempt list?
