top dawg

One thing that I had never thought about was how Tepper probably especially didn't want his team to get rolled up by his former team, so Kudos to Smitty for pointing out that angle. I love the pushback to that seemingly national narrative from someone who actually knows the team. There should have been a voice on the networks to counter Keyshawn, Skip, Shannon, etc.

Cam's problem was more about O-line protection than weapons. We were always shopping at the Dollar Tree for lineman, especially LT.

Football is the ultimate team sport. Nobody is losing or winning by themselves. I tell my 24-year-old son that when he starts talking about Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Jackson. Moreover, the FO is responsible for team building, so they're a huge part of that success or failure as well.

The Ravens have not really gotten the kid a legit receiver since he's been there. Plus, anyone that's paying attention knows that Jackson is the Ravens offense. He accounts for an ungodly percentage of their offense. Now, I could chalk it up to it being his fault, but that's probably simplistic. The Ravens really need to do better acquiring players at skill positions. Andrews is arguably the only legit one outside of Lamar. Moreover, the play-calling is a little suspect.

It's been unofficial for the past few days.

This thread is one of the most ironic that I've ever seen on the Huddle. I'm going to just leave it at that.

Why do some of you still refuse to acknowledge that Lamar can be an adept pocket passer. He has a good passer rating. Not solid, good! Furthermore, Reich specifically mentioned that you need a guy who will be able to throw it a few times a game--he mentioned "10" as an example. He also mentioned that generally the preference is to run first, and pass for chunk plays down the field. And last, but not least, is the fact that he intimated that you need a guy who can get outside the pocket as well as pass from the pocket. Lamar would be excellent in that type of system.

Yeah, that's what I was like. Damn that!

Just wait 'til next season.

It's more of the same, but there are subtle tidbits that you might pick up on. Tepper and Reich don't want to be right, they want to "get it right." But... If you listen, Reich always mentions Fitterer first and Tepper as kind of a passing thought. This will be a collaborative effort for sure, but just like it has been, Tepper is going to give deference to the football guys. Fitterer is going to be way more involved in the process than he has been. Generally, in my opinion, I feel that collaboration is a good thing. As I mentioned in another thread, keeping Tabor and Campen is a product of collaboration, not to mention Duce, and I see that as a positive.

Honestly, I would take either with a concerted effort and focus to develop them. I suspect that Stroud is the better processor right now, but I also believe that Fields has a markedly higher ceiling overall. Development is likely the key. Neither one is a surefire bet, but of course Fields has invaluable NFL experience.

"Significantly superior?" I don't know about that, and I'm a Georgia alum.

I've always loved Duce. He's been a great RB coach for what seems like forever.

Simms had him as his top QB, so whatever.

I've done my homework on Corral, but if you choose not to believe it or belittle it, it's your choice.

Moreover, no one can say what type of processor Corral would be in the pro system because of the college system in which he played. Anyone paying attention knew that this was perhaps his biggest question mark, with his durability being second.

Just the fact that you say they have similar arm strength indicates to me that you never took any scouting report about Corral that you may have read seriously. Morover, "slightly" better athlete just isn't credible. Read the scouting reports; that's all you have to do.

I'll believe AR at 9 (19 o 29) when I see it.

But those traits are different too. All you pretty much have to do is check their scouting profiles. If you're honest, there were (and are) many differences.

Nah, it was after at least three weeks, if not four or five. The only thing he and Grier really have in common is that they were both drafted in the third round by the Panthers. Their stories and college careers have stark differences beginning with how they came into the league and the conference in which they ultimately played for.

Apparently there are grown ass men concerned with how Tepper spends his money. They're also grown ass men who think that it's OK to call Rhule everything but a son of God because he's a bad pro football coach. They're also grown men who think it's OK tell people "fug you," because they supported Rhule, and grown men who have the nerve to tell people what and what not to poo on when half of the poo they do is just poo on people's posts. ----- I would like for one of these grown ass men to tell me why I or anyone should care about whether Tepper has to pay Rhule. Why do you care, motherfugers? Why? Are you that damned petty? Why do you not think it's a good idea to put this thing to bed and move on? Do you have a mature response, much less anything credible to say as to why Tepper paying Rhule five million dollars bothers you so damned much that you'd poo a post on a message board?

He may not have been considered the best at his position, but at one point during his last season in college, he was the frontrunner for the Heisman. Obviously, injury derailed that, but it doesn't change that fact.

As long as Corral gets a genuine shot, I'm good. As far as who it sounded like Reich was talking about---I said it yesterday---it sounds like Lamar Jackson. It really does. At the end of the day, I can say that Reich realizes that it's better to have someone with some versatility out there who can put pressure on the opposition outside the pocket, but who who can also effectively play inside the pocket than just someone who only can only play effectively inside the pocket.

Your shitting on people's posts constantly is weak. I could see if they said something really deserving of poo, but you don't do that, so you really can't tell me a damn thing that I'm gonna respect. You do better, and I'll "do better" as you put it.

Well, it was either that or Payton, and how Jerry is going to regret not making that call blah blah blah.
