Recency bias. Happens to everybody over time. Our memories start to fade on how things were and are then replaced by what has occurred recently. I’d dare say Heap would be a monster in this offense because of the combination of his blocking and pass catching prowess. Perfect fit
lol, was Skura not recent enough. He was bad enough that people should remember

Speaking of Flacco or Lamar, I’d like to change my answer a bit. If it’s in the playoffs, give me Flacco. I’ll take Lamar once he goes full on Montana and wins a Super Bowl. If it’s a regular season game, I’ll take Lamar because Flacco ran like a wounded giraffe

When I made my list I assumed we were getting the peak of each player for their time with us. Saw a list where someone was smart with the OL. Had Stanley LT then Ogden at LG if you're trying to really get the best 5 out there.

Nah, I have no confusion over who the actual best ravens receiver ever was but recency bias has clouded our entire fan base on that issue. I also don’t think I’d take ray rice over Jamal. If recency bias was at play here then my whole Opinion would be different.

just to play the game here I’m gonna list mine
LT: JO
LG: KO
C: Jensen (people forget about us asking for a birk replacement in the 2012 offseason because he struggled big time against powerful DTs, namely Vince wilfork and Casey Hampton)
RG: yanda
RT: OBJ

WR1: mason
WR2: boldin
WR3: Steve smith
TE: andrews
RB: Jamal

QB: stop playing with this Flacco shit, he never put in one tenth of the effort or showed half the enthusiasm for the sport or the team that Lamar has.

Outside of TE, I fully agree with this list.

Very creative

Use Lamar in the regular season and then put Flacco in once we go 14-2

*Actually 15-2 now

So you really want to replace a mercurial and intelligent octopus with a dead trunk of tree in the playoffs?

The comment was made by JAAM that he would replace Lamar with Flacco in the playoffs. I was merely going off what he was saying

Has anyone here seen the horrible YouTube ravens channel of “TTB Ravens Media”? TTB standing for “truzz the bank” whatever tf that means.. for being a ravens fan and ravens centric channel, he sure does upload a lot of negative and extremely click bait videos, seems like his first intention is to steal views by getting fans to click and comment their outrage, second intention is to put a title on the video basically announcing things that did not and will not happen, as in Julio signing etc.

It’s pretty blatant

I mean he only played one year at LG, so its kind of hard to say that he would be great there. We're just assuming he would be an All-World LG because he was an All-World LT. Perhaps, perhaps not.

I need more than one year from a player at a position to anoint them. But that's me...

I also would put Stanley at RT because he’s head and shoulders a superior player, but he’s never taken a snap at RT at any level that we can see on film

Yeah we didn't think nothing of Skura being our Center because mostly he had Yanda next to him and our run game was amazing so it didn't really matter. Yanda retired and that really revealed we needed an upgrade under Center, but the whole interior honestly. Hopefully Bozeman is ready for that task.

So long as he doesn’t snap the ball like a little kid, he’s already an upgrade

Sorry dude. I am so darn sensitive when it comes to my kids. But, even objectively speaking it is revolting to me to replace Lamar with Flacco for any game. Would you replace Aaron Donald with some extinct and immobile DT?

No, but I’m also not the original one who came up with said idea lol
