While playing at WR all Joe Flacco ever did was underthrow Waller.  Flacco seemed to get over it last year, but Joe had a year (2015)  where he consistently didn't put enough on the deep ball. There is no reason Waller can't be a Randy Moss type player for us. He's not quite as fast as Moss but unless the hammy injury in 2015 took something out of him Waller is very fast and builds his speed quickly. He should be able to elevate on long go's and haul in the deep ball against a speed spread defense. He's even less of a body catcher than Moss and should be able to high point those go routes.  Of course, Joe has to have time and a running game to make the go effective.

What Joe did with him were ally oops that were scripted and because they were scripted they failed terribly. Waller is one of my two for player most likely to improve.

This site is not permanent as bold is currently working on another site with all the bells and whistles.  It gives us a place to be when bold is ready to message us to tell us where to sign up.  I'd be perfectly fine if he and thr admini of purple flock got together and brainstormed.  

The theme should be let's stay together not split apart, then again, you can join extremeskins if you'd like ray ray.

Well, have to tell you what made RayRay was the inane resistance to contrary opinion. If you want to hold hands in happy unison and ignore developing problems you should go to Boardhost.  But if you want to be in on the cutting edge of football acumen at a very professionally laid out site you might want to pay Purpleflock a visit. There's already indicia that something is going on there of a higher level. That won't exist at Big Letter Little Letter's unsecure site. My recommendation is sign up at both Scout and Purpleflock, there's enough reasons already to believe that's where folks will ultimately gravitate to.

Devil's advocate.  But the decline in registrations, posts, and activity might go hand and hand with the product that is being put out on the field.  Hard to generate new users and generate heavy activity when the product is average. 

In the seasons we were going to the playoffs every year and won a Super Bowl there was a lot more activity.  Things to get excited about and generate interest.  New fans were coming out of the woodwork.  

34,000 posts purerock?  are you "Supertolerator"?  the purpleflock site has huge potential hope folks sign up.

Dude his skillset screams SS. Everything he can do very well is what you want in your SS. He will redefine the position better than Chancellor. It's not only members here saying that about him. ESPN analysts, NFL network analysts and even PFF said it.

Watch his highlights which are his best plays. Many of his plays the WR dropped the throw and he partially faceguarded while he got in the way of the throw having no clue where the ball was. And that was with a ferocious rush behind him and less than NFL quality QBs throwing to the receiver. His int's aren't very impressive at all. Not saying he can't get better. His deep coverage while needing lot of work for a NO. 1Cornerback is exceptional for a SS. Not many SS can be matched against a legit WR at all. As a SS he will be a perennial all pro.

maybe but he wasna draffed for that position. we had jus signed jeffersen and reupped webb with weddle thar to.  what he is n ot  is a corna. this one is gonna be a whole lot of fun. we gonna have us some fun now! mean tahts what its about right?  its for fun and u can find fun even in a guys unraveling (goin with bust out befor move to SS though.) I'm in on bust out and all in on notacorna.

Thanks, you just made the decision for me.  No purpleflock.com for me.    lol

wholelottahaloti that too bad wont see ya gain cuz boardhost is bein pushed by a guy that really wants to be somethin.  he doan know draffin, he doan know football he nevah posted a single thang cept "we gotz the raven way and must stick wiff it" trust it". that guy jus wants to be someone. he wants the control an that's what will be thar at boardhost.  what u an I say we doan care what othas thing. we say it and dang the torpedos it doan matta to us. u and I take our measha of satisfactshon from ravens winnin in da playofs and bein right bout r team no matta who we  may have to set straight includin forma icons too long in da tooth to stil do it.

at boardhost u and he can post on the superiority of the ravens due to the raven way of oz and harball.  you can hold hands wiff him and sing kumbayah in a tite little circle where evahthing else is  ignored cuz it is censured out. its a nice little fantasy world especially for one tryin to ratify ones identity and I doan mean u. ur ups shuld be safe until you start callin oz responsible. than who knows what shenanigans the cat hata will pull!

by the way agree wiff ya that part of the decay here is a mediogre team. though I study the traffic and it was best in the 2007 to 2009 period. the traffic has been in decline.

I'm not sold on Purpleflock yet, wanna be sure of security Scout looks a good site, but I like the negs and approvals and fine links to posts here so I'm still lookin too. I'm sorry I had to go unexpectedly out of town and missed posting my top 100 draft pics. I was saving them til the day of the draff and now it would be disingenuous to post them so all I can do to call out Oz's mistakes right off and I'm doing it.  He picked as his numba 1 one of only 3 high regarded players I tabbed "Don Not Draft".  Its too comical to even contemplate.  I got one final post comin tonite or tomorrow called, The In Oz we Trust Train has left the Station.

You can draft a guy in round 1 and he sucks while you draft a guy in round 6 that becomes 1 of the best players in the game.

The draft is a lottery.

 

fur us resantly it has bean a lottery. but it aint for many otha teams. the bengels have outdraffed us by far in resant yrs.  ur sayin draffin is like skyscraper demolition. they pay these demolition companies huge money to be sure that when the 25 story building comes down it comes straight down. but when 9/11 happened how did those huge 100 story buildins come down?  they came straight down. no conspiraci suggested here.  if its a lottery why not get rid of ur draff pickers and just play the numbas urself. Why pay all that money to draff pickers that nevah know if thar 1st rd guy is the man or thar 6th rd guy is gonna pan out? see? why pay the money to the demolitions if that buildin is gonna behave a certain way anyways?

but the truth is thar are lots of variables to pickin a good draff. u'd think ur pickers had an eye for nfl talent, but the truth is at least in Baltimore they really have been closa to lottery playas. one of their strategeries is to hoard as many lower rnd pics as possable hopin one of em might pan out.  its a good strategerie if you can't pic a playa. its a bad strategerie if ur tryin to rebuilt a agein team. cuz in that case the draff becomes like a box of chocolates, u nevah know what ur going to get.

add to the complex of the draff is that it can be bad to draff a playa that looks good from a totally stacked team. becuz his flaws get coverad by all that surrundin talant.  one of the biggast skills a GM has to have is the abilaty to look past that coverin talant to see what the targated playa really has.  Add to that the fact that a powerful team that plays weak teams has to be factored. than add to that the overall talant in college with the lax officatin has to be factored in jus how skilt ur targated playa is.  than add to that the requirements of the nfl whar the game and complexity speed up immensely has to be factored to ur targated playas wanderlichs. that's a football iq test.  its not as hard as it sounds, but if ur not considerin those varibals ur gonna miss on ur 1st rnder and maybe hit ur 6th rnder. and that is where we find ourselves.

Why? Its never worked.

Sure they had a nice stretch where they made the playoffs... but is that your goal? You want to be a team that makes the playoffs for a couple years and self implodes every time they do, followed by stretches of being terrible???

Setting the bar low.

Why do we look on in envy of franchises that have proven their decision making doesnt work, doesnt put them over the top, and at best is incredibly volatile in its results.... while knocking or wanting to move away from a formula that has produced 2 SB's in a 12 year span (1 of a very short list of clubs to do so) and produces teams that consistently compete for playoffs and win when they get there?

It's like you dont pay attention when the talented but troubled players they take chances on get suspensions, go off the reservation in huge moments, and get personal fouls in the biggest games that cost wins..... If it happens once its a fluke. But when it is consistently the reason they lose and can never win a playoff game, thats a trend. And one you dont want to emulate if you have any common sense.

big letta little letta gotta giv you one thang u are relieable. what you say to the bd is always gonna be consistant. its alwys been wrong and always will be but its as same today as it was in 2013 whan you praysed cleats elam as our saver. lawded his smarts in negoshiatin his own contrac and how good he was gonna be. no one posta on the bd has bean more consistant than you in what you sayed or as consistant wrong in what u predacted.  you have one da prise.  what ur evan betta at is hipocrasie. you nevah seam to undastan when you are takin a positshon that total contradichts the facts and situashon. its like you come up wiff this this premiss or prinzipool u asume to be true without the least screwtiny into weather it is tru or not. the test is not impourtant to u. what u go with is your premiss.  u jus take it an go with it preachin the hole time like u an authority an its why any one with any smarts wont visit ur bran of board and censurrin.  u got a lot of dictator in u and an equil amount of fact ignorin.  of all the postas uve contribed a bunch of faith base gobbelty guck an added littel to nuthin to discusshon.

anyways befor I get into how terrible we have draffed as compaired to the bengels lets be clear about prinzipal in the salary cap ara. whan a gm pics talant he canna be worried weather carachter will put an end to his playas carrear. playas r not indentures for life any longa. they sign for 4 yrs and most will not be payed afta that. if u can get a top playa in the draff for 3 or 4 yrs as ouravens fan has said you take him and what trainspires is in the big ravens hands. u r not talkin bout a long carrear.  it is betta to get the 3 or 4 yrs of talant than to shop for carachter and get a humpf who is nuthin more than a cleats elam in tha waitin. stop the high hoss big letta weve had nuff of it.

now in r entire histry we have won the divishon 4 times. the bengels in 12 yrs have won it 4 times and been in the playofs 3 times since our champs yr. so whan you say they are failin in the last 4 yrs who is failin more? that's a ratoracle queshion big letta and u canna answear it objectively. between ross, mixon and humpf we shuld not have draffed hump and we had a shot at mixon in round two but went wiff anuther lineback. 

now regardin ur prinzipal we turnd a blind eye to ray rices offense and were all good to look that otha way until it went natshonal and that's why ouraven says ur prinzipals are arbitrary. I thang I spelt that one right no red underline!  so who gets a second chanze in a short nfl carrear? of all people u the lass one shuld be takin a stand on whar the ravens are in that regarding.

Quick smarts, recover, and recognitshon, as you so eloquently put it, are things Humphrey does very well though. He sits back, eyes on the receiver and qb, and diagnoses the whole field and reacts very quickly and accordingly, and secures the play. 

Inconsistent foot work on the hip-flip is not play recognition. Struggling to run downfield with your head turned around is not smarts(I wouldn't trust you to judge smarts anyway). 

And again, all things that jimmy smith struggled with immensely coming out, he was just better in press man than Humphrey while Humphrey is better in zone than jimmy was.

thang jimmies collage film is stil out thar. the saddast part is we now havfta go thru this all deja voo ovah again. its gonna take pees and oz into the third yr to get an inklin they spended our numba 1 pic on a situashon playa. they didna get a game change and didna get a playmaka. da oz is da best evahs wil be makin exuces for four yrs and we will ride the mediogre train missin da playof stop until we do what has to be don.  once again the  prob is not humpf he is what he is the problam is within. the guy this bd needs to wach is the jags jalan myrick. they got him in the 7 rd and guessin he will not be fully apprecated until 2018 but when u move to otha bds jus rememba when he blossum rayray the raven sayed he will out play humpf by far.

Btw humphrey has had issues for years with the deep ball..even in high school ball. I dont think he'll ever be great at it. Then again we like getting beat deep it seems. We care more about hard hitters than playmakers.

 

 

welcom to the club. sayed before you canna draff a secondary playa wiffout hands. but even more important is quick smarts recover an recognitshon things u canna teach.  pees beemed ovah humpf an its gonna be ammusin to watch how pees reacts to his awfal progres. bottum line on talant abov the neck we done draffed cleats again u culd undastan takin a shot at say rd 6 but if agains all reasin u were goin D this draff to take this guy ovah say allen is to rediculas to think about.  funniar yet they rely thing they draffed jimmy smith again.  not even close no whares in the same ballpark.  gotta tell u I doan even thang humpf has elams lumba and that in an age where playmakas have passed hittars an r playmakas are nil

@allblackraven is right on the money. The expectation of reducing pertinent content in order for the ideas to appeal to the average reader is one of the main issues in the migration. I am sure about the reasoning. Whether or not the assumption of the motive behind it is accurate, my post touched on their stated belief about the evolving landscape. I disagree with this sentiment, therefore I feel that I am able to discount it.

I appreciate what you're saying and I have no issue with any of the other frequently mentioned people who hate Flacco, Harbaugh, whatever. But I really don't understand how RayRayRaven was allowed to post so much garbage, regardless of whether he agrees or disagrees with anybody on the board. That crap is incomprehensible and I'd say obvious troll. There was no 'value' in letting his (different) opinion heard even if he was a genuine poster because there's no opinion there, there are no legible words and sentences in his posts. 

all can say black is nevah felt one of ur posts was worth readin. read this one sorta only to get the feelin that no one on this bd wants to live in aukland wherevah that is cuz tolerant of diverent views wuld not discribe it.  not understanin is one thang not willin to listen is anotha but not havin a somethin to say is a third. maybe in aukland they got those nailed down tite.  as it pertain to football gotta believe that contract renegotiashon of joes big contract is the straw that done broke the auks back. evahone here sayed you culdna trade him after that deal and they made it jus as joes big contract was endin. he wulda played it out in the nex yr. that the one they canna get away from and though elam and humpf and all da othas hurt its the joe deal that is killin. still no one hate joe or harball its jus time hate aint an America thang. maybe its diff in auksland
