Ravens Ring of Honor
15-20 yrs from now, there's going to be a huge ceremony at the Ravens stadium. The event? Erection of a Lamar Jackson statue! As the winner of 5 SB titles and 8 SB appearances, he'll be widely considered the G.O.A.T eclipsing Tom Brady's exploits at QB. He'll be the first Qb to pass for over 30,000 yds and run for over 10000 with a record 11 pro bowl selections.
Now I need to sleep to relive this beautiful dream. Good night folks!

Simply put he wasnt earning what he was paid and we were always up against the cap limit.

Forsett was just an average rb in general and yes he had the cutback ability to execute the stretch, and kubiak dials up the stretch like none other, but if he’s getting touched at all, or if he’s being forced to make quick decisions or make tacklers miss, he’s useless.
Anyone with half an eye for football knew this and didn’t wanna give forsett big money, but of course we did anyway

When Art brown got here and traning camp was well underway the rumblings were already there in the building from what i heard at the time..which was '' We made a mistake''. He had 0 football IQ, combined with being undersized.
He basically was useless. He didn't even play ST well.

6m 14m and 14m was a gift contract that was more then earned. Between a putrid OLIne ruining 2013, the RR situation combod with Pitta's injury, and then the disaster of 2015 where I am pretty sure the Ravens lost a key player literally every game to injury (that honestly is not a joke and as a note before that started the Ravens were leading the team that won the SB) so it was just sometimes when the team is snakebit. Combine that with a couple awful drafts, no investment on offense (best investment on offense was SS who we made look 10 years younger) and things just went bad.
To put in perspective how bad 2015 was with injury, Ravens were the equivalent of down Yanda, Stanley, Brown (both), Snead, (then Lamar AFTER all that happens), and on D down Jimmy, BWill, Peters, Humphrey, Carr, Thomas. It was all the best players at all the worst times one by one and I have never seen anything happen quite like it.

Did you all see that the Texans dropped from the #3 rush defense to the #13 after playing us? We make good teams average.

Haha Thanks!!
The problem with that contract was not the overall value or the yearly/average - that’s just the going rate for a franchise qb
The problem was those early low cap hits - we mistakenly believed we were a better team with a better qb than we were and we mortgaged our future by heavily back-loading that deal and it hamstrung us and forced us to even out those hits after 3 years with another massive contract
The amount of that deal was fine
The structure of that deal was awful
Also btw those cap hits don’t represent what joe was actually getting paid - they weren’t discount years

"Use the force, Phillip"
he wasn't given big money. It was only 2 to 3 m per year for 3 years. Agree with your assessment though.

Then you would have to imagine the Ray Rice situation never happening which is one of the reasons why The Ravens would most likely never draft a guy like Frank Clark who had domestic violence issues.

Since the Marcus Peters trade, the Ravens defense has the highest pressure percentage in the NFL and forced the 2nd lowest passer rating.
In that time, they've played: Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, and Deshaun Watson.
Yes, all three are / were underrated players. London Fletcher started to get more noticed in his days in Washington, as they had a pretty good defense and he was the quarterback of the D. However the main reason he went undrafted was due to his size.
