Why should he? He had maybe two above average years, and the rest of the career was pretty pedestrian, if he wasn't hurt. Sure he played a vital role in the SB run but he couldn't sniff the jock straps of the folks that are actually in the ROH. I love the guy too but he's not even remotely close to being in the ROH. Sure he got 86 catches last year, but he only averaged 8.5 YPC. Not really that great. In 2012, he averaged 11 YPC. Sorry. It's easy to get 86 catches when you run short of the sticks every time.I don't think he has a choice BUT to retire.
I can't imagine any team that would sign such a injury liability.
Here is my question..... Dennis Pitta, RAVENS Ring Of Honor or not ?
Two people have disagreed with this post. Can either of you make a case for why, other than saying he deserves a trophy for being a cool guy?Why should he?

Take a look at the guys in the ring and tell me with a straight face that he belongs in this class of players: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens_Ring_of_Honor
The difference is that Flacco is easily the best QB the RAVENS have ever had, and had one of the greatest postseason runs of all time. He's deserving. And he's been invited to what, three pro bowls now and has declined each of them?Joe Flacco is going into that Ring of Honor and he probably will not get a Pro Bowl in his career, so you can rule out Pro Bowls as a criteria.
