    2022 General Draft Thoughts

    To be fair, he argued that Lamar was the best QB of his class prior to that draft while almost all others insisted on Rosen, Baker or Darnold.

    I would generally agree, except that he's in the unique position of a fully guaranteed contract. Unlike everyone else in the NFL, his paycheck will not be affected by his levels of effort and accomplishment. I also wonder how he responds on the field, going from someone who was very well...

    Apparently, Watson just kept showing up to the Texans' facility last year so he would continue to get paid. I don't see there being any motivation for him to do much more than that in Cleveland, given this contract. It'll be interesting to see if he's actually motivated to properly compete. I...

    I think if it comes down to a situation like with the Steelers last year where they can't stop the other team on defense and they're pulling people out of the stands to play CB, the 2 point option will still be enticing. I think it will be interesting to see if teams defer in overtime. The...

    The ZDS fiasco not withstanding, this is the first free agency period I've ever considered to be fun. And I don't normally watch any football that doesn't involve the Ravens, but I think I'll be binging AFC West divisional games this fall.

    Yeah, getting out of where you've lived an entire life, no matter where that is, is something I think is a great move. I've lived in interior Alaska, San Diego, Atlanta, Oxford, England and Nice, France, among others. A grand total of zero regrets in any move I've made. Loved everywhere.

    Not me. My wife has a Tucker jersey but I don't think she's worn it since the Raiders game. If you see a red Lotus, it might be me. Moved here to be close to family. Wouldn't mind living out east again, but definitely never again want to pack up to move.

    Another one from Sac here. Became a Ravens fan living in Maryland for a decade. Never played Madden. Not sure I've even seen a cover.

    I don't know what their cap situation is, but given Wink's comments on Averett early in the season, I suspect the Giants will be after him. I think his price just went up.

    For those who are unfamiliar with the origin of "Joe Cool," it is a persona of Snoopy, the Peanuts cartoon dog. Snoopy with sunglasses on is Joe Cool. Been around since the '50s. So, yeah, any Joe who has done something "cool" can take that nickname.

    I completely agree. We weren't going to repeat if we had won in 2011. Then we wouldn't have replaced Cundiff with Tucker. We would have lost plenty of games in the interim that we won with the points Tucker brings that no one else could. (And the Ravens are simply more fun with him on the...

    The 80/20 rule is likely why that fullback from Michigan was drafted. Worked out great!

    Next Up: vs Rams

    I'll probably be rooting for the Rams to win it all, assuming we don't make it in. I'm really just hoping for a win against Pittsburgh to finish off the season. I just don't see a reason to even want to be in the playoffs with the scrap heap of injured players that remain. I'd be happy if we...

    Yes, yes it was. My avatar pic is one I took with my phone at that game.

    The Bengals, The 3rd Team and The When Will The Injuries End?

    I'm fine with missing the playoffs, given we're going nowhere. A win against Pittsburgh would be a pleasant way to wrap up this ugly season.

    Lamar Jackson

    His children are home schooled, so the may not have friends. He wouldn't want them to learn any bad words, after all.

    The Murphy's Law, The Ugly and The Uglier

    2-2 seems pretty decent for road games. I've been to Ravens road games in San Diego, San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas and Denver and have seen exactly one win among them. Not many worse things in life than the walk of shame out of another's stadium. Happily, the only home loss I've seen was in...
