Several seasons like that will only leave the die hards still standing. And even their activity will decline.

So help me understand this. It isn't about money but it was about time resources spent on moderating the boards? There is something in these two remarks that seems contradictory to me. Couldn't more of these resources be hired if it wasn't about the money?

Lol I thought the same thing but didn't bother to respond; time=money so if money not the issue, time shouldn't be the issue...

I think they just try to give whatever reason to get over it cuz they just want everything transferred to FB and other social platform regardless....

PS my way or high way...haha

Later everyone; I will still use my same name if I ever sign up for any Ravens new site......

PS: Time to take off the Ravens message board from my favorite tab.....

Since the announcement about closing the message I have sent three messages on Contact Us and received nothing in return. I did call the Ravens' office twice and did receive a return call. I was told the reason for closing the boards was the dramatic drop in usage. I am a late comer to the boards but I will miss them.

I'm not sure what exactly he's looking at, but I'm pretty sure I check the Ravens website and message board 3-4 times a day at least.....does it count as dramatic drop?

Most of our mods are volunteered to do the jobs that not many of us want to do and they have done terrific jobs; I don't know how much it saves to close down the board.....it sounds like they force us to merge with FB.....

It's disappointing but nothing we can do cuz we don't own it.....

good enough to stop NE ding dong against us?

Film doesn't show much but I hope he can smoothly transit his game to the NFL level.....

Welcome to B-more Wormley

Drew Brees makes everyone on his team better. He does not have top WR talent and still puts up 5000k yards a year. Flacco does not.

wonder who were Brandon Cooks and Michael Thomas? scrubbed players? 

He has done good things for NFL and he is the reason why his team are competitive year in and year out...

RIP

Lets the FO worry about the contract; I'm happy that Webby is back cuz he loves Ravens nation as much as we love him...he's done so many positive things for the community.

Welcome back Webb!!

ProFootballTalk is reporting that he and the team have agreed to a reunion for the season.

hope this is true cuz it is a great news for our secondary depth...Webb provides such a valuable versatile in secondary; he can play slot, outside, and FS...in addition, he is a sure tackler for a small guy......

After all, he is a great assess on and off the field for the Ravens nation....

If we draft well this year, this deal is a steal....

I'm not denying that Cam Cameron wasn't a problem  and Boldin was money for The Ravens but he was able to play with speedy receiver to take the pressure off of him unlike Torrey Smith.Boldin also was able to  go  to the playoffs consistently out of the three years he has been with The Ravens unlike Steve Smith Sr.Even though I feel like Derrick Mason and Steve Smith Sr were better receivers than Anquan Boldin it's no denying that Boldin just was more fortunate and came in at the right time.

I wholeheartedly agree with this; SSR and Mason's experiences and skillsets are no different than Boldin, and they all excel as possessive receivers.  It's a matter of luck per say.....

How about making playoffs first? John is pretty much staging his career on line for this year and if we didn't make to playoff this year with all of defense acquisition in FA, John will be on a very hot seat. I don't think he will be fired the following year, but he will lose some power and the major drain on the coaching staff....

In addition to the boards being made by members here, I want to say that Russell Street Report has an excellent website and a great board to discuss all things Ravens. Like most of you all, I think facebook Ravens is a great place to get ticked off at the ludicrous comments made by fair weather fans who have no clue what they are talking about. I just thought I'd pop in and let you guys know there are far better ways to communicate in boards like this one without having to discuss with moronic fans in places such as Facebook. 

definitely check it out....need some real football discussion....

yes, they are rebuilding the fanbase for sure after their decision on closing down the board....

So I just finished watching Harbs talk live on Facebook and the commenting section was attrocious. Everyone was saying bring back this person, that person. Eventually it got to Ray Rice and people were actually comparing him to Dennis Pitta, in terms of how they have missed a few seasons but only Pitta was kept "because it was personal". Seriously Admins!? Do you really want to leave us with this crap?

Well, when they decided to close down the board, it's obviously they don't care about our opinions or feelings......Nothing we say can change their mind...it's set and stone.........

Some members already made the a duplicate board and it just isn't the same......missing all the mods on here......

/shrug....moving on....

somebody needs to hit Brady one more time then retiring will come immediately.....

Miami was the only dissenting vote though some teams i'm in contact w/in the meeting don't know precisely why MIA voted no

I wonder why the Dolphins voted against it, be interested in finding out why

May be, Miami have been planning on moving their team to Las Vegas all along and Raiders just stole their spot....lol

u guys have less than 37 days to fight over this elite or none elite thang.....

Make it worth before it vanishes.....

Haters will continue their cult over FB and Twitter, and  as for others, find another interest to buy times until September......

Strange that Zach Brown is still available but we haven't shown any interest in him.

may be he asked for too much money cuz Kevin Minter was signed for 4.5 mil for 1yr, so I guess Zach ask for at least 3mil/yr and I don't think our offer should come anything near that number.  That's my speculation....

1 year / $8M apparently

lots of players are signing up for 1yr deal; looks like they all want some quick cash in......
