I hope they lean on the offense and the passing game. I am still one that does not buy all of the hype of Flacco.

He was a QB on a run first offense....with a great defense. His passing numbers were not elite.

I don't think anyone considers him an elite passer. He is a smart QB with a big arm that doesn't make a lot of mistakes. I can't imagine the Ravens ever becoming an air it out offense. Doesn't fit their style. I think they will be really good this year.

Don't those reasons mean production won't be elite? Also Sanchez had the best rushing attack, best defense, and he was 32nd in passing attempts, he played far worse than flacco.

My point exactly.

I am not sure Flacco or Sanchez would be a top tier QB in a heavy passing offense. I don't view Flacco or Sanchez as much better than Matt Moore.

I also think the Ravens Defense will take a step back this year. Ed Reed is injured (might not play), Ray Lewis is another year older, their DB's are really banged up. They will still be good, just starting to get long in the tooth.....much like what happened to the awesome TB defense a few years back.

They are still one of the better teams in the AFC.

I view Sanchez as worse than Moore at this point in time. Last year, Sanchez was only better than Jake Delhomme (and you might could debate that).

I can't imagine what you're going to do with all the free time you've acquired by abbreviating "two", "why", and "what".

You should take a vacation or something! :rolleyes:

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
