Especially when we had coverage issues basically all season.
Ignoring whether you agree with the list, I don’t personally but the people who voted in it have forgotten more football than I or most of this forum will ever know, I still think it is dumb to waste breath fighting with Pollard. It reminds me of Durant getting into guess with people who rightfully call him overrated.
Lamar Jackson should remember one of the best quotes ever: “A lion does not concern themselves with the opinions of the sheep”. Responding to the list is fine, but Pollard is beneath you and doesn’t even deserve your time or energy.

For sure, the guy acts like he was on par with some true Ravens pillars lol. I do appreciate what he did for the team though. I'll never forget watching the slow mo replay of the ball coming lose of Ridley's knee and the entire bar went nuts knowing it was a fumble

I think half the world could benefit from this advice
Minus the Xs and Os, i promise those people not as knowledgable at the sport as you think.. i mean they are but they are fans of the game just like everyone else.. they are biased and get shit wrong too.. ever been in a class where the student knew more than the teacher..
Pollurd is already forgotten in Ravens history.. lamar likely wont ever be forgotten
mina kimes said it best also - a lot of them have seemingly never got over their initial opinions of lamar in the draft

eh, Pollard is a major tool, he had issues at all 4 teams he played for. Just happens he can get the most press right now messing’ with Lamar.

Ever since this beef, I noticed that @Ellicottraven has gone silent. I hope he isn't gonna hunt Pollard down or some stupid shit.
I don't want to appear to be racist when I say I never thought LJ would amount to anything. Unfortunately, because of very limited opportunities to see Louisville play, I believed what everyone said about LJ. He's not really a QB, he'd be best suited by making him a RB. So on and so forth with all the other nonsense said of LJ at draft time. I believed it all unfortunately. Honestly, my guy was Baker Mayfield. As a Jets fan and Mac having traded 3 2nd round picks to move up just 3 spots prior to the draft I never believed the Jets would get Sam Darnold. He was widely considered the best QB in the class. I was convinced Cleveland was going to take Darnold at #1. Weirdly enough I predicted the Giants taking Barkley at 2. So when Sam Darnold was there at 3 I was very happy. My QB rankings went like this:
1) Darnold
2) Mayfield
3) Allen
4) Rosen
5) Jackson
And honestly I thought the last 3 were all busts. That probably looks pretty racist I would imagine?? Now that LJ and Allen have ascended into greatness, I really feel humiliated about ranking the QB's the way I did.
I'm not always sold on Sam Darnold being a bust? I often think he's a product of a shit organization, which is what the Jets were in 2018. Honestly, I never had a good word to say about Mike Macagnan. I thought he was a gypsy from start to finish. I often think Darnold has been irreparably damaged by Mac hanging Sammy out to dry.
Common sense as I've always understood it would say, after drafting Sammy you MUST start putting pieces around him as a young QB's psyche can be a very fragile thing. I wanted the Jets to immediately go after big franchise OL among many other high priorities that I had for Sammy exclusively. Instead, that idiot Mac goes and drafts a DE that never played division 1 ball. To this day there's a part of me that believes Sammy COULD be great if he's given the right opportunity with a good supporting cast?
Be that as it may, LJ was never on my radar and honestly now I'm just such a fan of the Ravens organization for seeing in him what just about everyone else didn't see including myself.

How in the hell is that racist lol. Including Allen/Rosen, both traditional white QB's, in with Jackson as potential busts pre-draft is not racist at all. It's like you say one bad thing about Lamar and you're automatically a racist or a hater
hahahahaha
