I agree .

I just think it's super risky to give up 3rd round pick for a receiver that had one good healthy season. I definitely wouldn't give up a second round for Lee at all.

Could be wrong but I think a message board can be busy with only 200 out of 50,000 registered fans. If so is the board really serving it's purpose if only 200 fans are actually involved with it out of thousands?

I wouldn't go no higher than a 4th round pick for Lee. He may have dealt with injuries like Sammy Watkins but I think Watkins showed more on the field and was 4th overall pick in the first round.

This is pretty dope. Congrads to Jameel McClain

So overall not many fans really are active on the board for the past two years and the purpose of the board in the first place was so Raven fans or football fans in general could register and come together to discuss about topics sport related rather it's about The Ravens, other football teams, the draft, fantasy football and etc. if there's 70,000 people register on this site and only 100 or so people are actually active on the board then that's sad. Not only is it showing very few actually value the board but money is involved towards the maintenance of the board and more for the fans that actually post and etc.Even though money isn't the issue and isn't the reason why the board is closing down it's probably most likely looked upon as a waste of money since very few fans actually seem to value it and no business wants to waste money especially if they don't have to.

Ok so today's the last day of the boards. I really enjoyed the many conversations /discussions with other Raven fans on this site concerning The Ravens or just overall football related topics.. There's no one on here that I think contributed on this board in a way that didn't make it fun even the ones that tend to be jerks at times for no reason(just being honest). I encourage everyone to cherish every moment we had on this board but also I encourage you all to keep on striving in life because it's bigger than this board or this site in general. Some of you probably gain alot of football related knowledge from this board and some of you may have gain new friends or developed a strong friendship that won't stop even when this board ends on Friday. I think that's a beautiful and wonderful thing because at end of the day we all gain something so when this board ends we all still have something.Everything comes to a end and nothing last forever but anyway adios everyone and I hope you all have great day today and a awesome year.

I'm gonna miss The rmw10 . This is so beautiful .

If he caught 60% percent of his passes and had only 3 drops base off just body catching then i'll take it.. I seen the same thing said about John Ross and I still would have wanted him to be selected by The Ravens in this year draft. It's reasonable for others to want a receiver similar to Anquan Boldin but I honestly think The Raven have too much talented at the tight end position to not use them as the dependable pass catcher when needed especially with the two tight end sets in the passing game that Gary Kubiak and Cam Cameron was using when they were apart of The Ravens coaching staff.

But I think Allen Hurns cap hit is like 7 million if they do. I don't know The Jags cap situation at this moment so not sure if they have enough cap space to trade or even cut Allen Hurns.

I just it's think it's possible depending on how well Sharpe preforms in training camp and his chance of getting more playing time this season may have went down with The Titans drafting Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor. The Titans were willing to trade their second round pick Dorial Green Beckham after he had 549 receiving yards and 4 touch downs in his rookie season.Sharpe could end up having the same fate but of course may no happen so it's may be more wishful thinking on my part. Quinton Patton was drafted by The 49ers back when Greg Roman was the offensive coordinator so he knows Patton more than anyone on The Ravens coaching staff and he someone I liked during the 2013 draft. Rashad Greene is another receiver I liked coming out of college and he has punt return experience but missed most of 2016 season due to a season ending injury. Before Marqise Lee jump on the scene and was productive it was reported that Greene was the front runner to beat him out for number 3 spot. Justin Hardy hasn't been highly productive for The Falcons but he has made plays . With The New Falcon offensive coordinator and the fact that The Falcons kept Taylor Gabriel and signed veteran receiver Andre Roberts it's possible The Falcons would be ok with trading him especialy if the plan is to re-signed Gabriel. I believe someone already touched on Marqise Lee situations so I don't need to say anything further about that.

Receivers I think The Ravens can target in a trade is Marqise Lee, Jordan Matthews,Tajae Sharpe,Quinton Patton,Rashad Greene, and Justin Hardy,

Stay classy The Raven lol. Be humble in the words of Kendrick Lamar.

You just compared three seasons of when The Ravens run game was good to one season where the run game wasn't good. Look at 2013 season where Flacco passed the ball 618 times and if you consider the offensive line and more for Joe Flacco woes then I don't understand why consistent offensive coordinator changes and the fact that two coaches had to get on board run a offensive system that wasn't their own and more isn't even being consider as one legit reasons why the offense has been poor for the past two years..Are you really blaming The Ravens playoff woes because they changed their offensive scheme to a west coast offense? I have to totally disagree with that if you do because there's alot of stuff that has occurred in the past two years for the reason why The Ravens have missed the playoffs and I don't think the west coast offense has been the main culprit of that . Even with Gary Kubiak The Ravens almost nearly missed the playoffs if they had not won against The Browns and The Chiefs had not won against The Chargers. Actually Juan Castillo wasn't the first offensive line coach with a west coast offense back ground because former Ravens offensive line coach John Matsko beats him out in that department. Matsko was apart of The Ravens coaching staff back when Brian Billick was The Raven head coach. I will admit that Matsko does have experience in the corydell and west coast offense but even Andy Moeller had a west coast offense background especially back in the day under Terry Malone when he was apart of Michigan coaching staff. I'm not entirely sure if it really matters if a offensive line coach has a west coast or corydell background because there isn't a real specific blocking scheme for either one. The corydell offense probably emphasis more on the offensive line to be skilled in pass protection though especially since the quarterback would be throwing it deep more times than not.

Marqise Lee caught 60 percent of his passes and had 800 receiving yards with 3 touchdowns. According to .sportingcharts.com he only had 3 drop passes and his route running at this moment probably far exceeds Chris Moore. Lee also could help with giving The Ravens some depth at kick/punt returner if not start . This is Jordan Matthews contract year and if Nelson Agholor or Dorial Green Beckham start to show signs of improvement and actually look good in training camp then Matthews could be the odd man out because those guys bring more to the table and have more upside than Matthews. The Eagles also drafted two receivers in this years draft with one in the fourth and the other in the fifth but of course it's still possible Agholor and Beckham could be the ones that are cut or traded instead.

Marty M runs his own version of the west coast offense as well and it's not your typical traditional west coast offense.Joe Flacco had one of his best seasons under Gary Kubiak and his adjusted yards gained per pass attempt that year was 7.2 yards. and his yards per gain per completion was 11.6 yards. Last year Joe Flacco adjusted yards per pas attempt was 1.0 yard less and his yards per gain per completion was 1.7 yard less than what he had in 2014.I think you have take in consideration that Marc Trestman was bought in here from day one to run Gary Kubiak offense who has never been apart of Kubiak's coaching staff or run anything similar . Not only that but even Ravens current offensive coordinator Marty M who was The Ravens primary quarterback coach back then had to adjust to a offensive system that was not his own along with adjusting to Marc Trestman who he has never worked with before in his career. So imagine how that's like when both these guys are in Joe Flacco ear after losing o Gary Kubiak and Rick Dennison in short amount of time. The Ravens offense had no structure or direction for the past two years and if Kubiak taught The Ravens anything it's that you can't build a good offense with out a coaching staff/position coaches that aren't familiar with the system or fit the philosophy of the offense or defensive system. The Ravens offense in 2014 would not have went so smoothly if Kubiak wasn't allowed to bring in his own guys. Joe Flacco playoff run was quite amazing and it may be the best performance he will ever have but that doesn't mean shorter passes weren't thrown either. One of the main reasons why The Ravens offense exploded in 2012 under Jim Caldwell was because he bought balance to the offense and called plays normally Cam Cameron wouldn't do on a consistent basis. For the past two years I don't think The Ravens running game has been preforming well so if the running game isn't efficient or atleast a concern towards opposing defenses then how is Flacco going to be able to throw it deep ? Everyone knows he has a big arm so a safety can stay in deep coverage all day because Flacco big arm is not a secret especially with no rushing attack to be concerned about. I think The Ravens 2013 season can speak volumes of that as well and The Ravens were running a air corydell offense back then .

One of Joe Flacco's best seasons was in a west coast offense and the other one was under the tutelage of a quarterback coach with a west coast offense background by name of Jim Zorn. Even during Joe Flacco excellent performance in 2012 playoff and super bowl one of the reasons why the offense played so well was not only because it seem like Jim Caldwell gave Joe Flacco more freedom to what he please but receivers were running more shorter routes and etc that may be considered west coast offense related. I think alot of people think since Joe Flacco has a big arm it just automatically mean he's more of a better fit for Corydell offense but I don't think that's the case at all. Of course he's not a dink and dunk type of guy but I don't think at all he can't be successful in a west coast offense especially in Mary M type of west coast offense.

Marty M doesn't run a traditional west coast offense though. His west coast offense is more like vertical west offense than anything but it still isn't anything like Cam Cameron.

Yes Jalen Robinette.

I seen that it won't affect Keenan Reynolds but it will for other that recently enter the draft but i'm not entirely sure if it's true.

Ozzie probably saw this thread title and was like

lol good one.

Went to The Texans

I like Boldin and always will but I think The Ravens should try to explore other options before even considering him. I would like to see The Ravens try to explore trade options for players like Jordan Matthews or Marqise Lee. I also wouldn't mind seeing The Ravens express interest in Micheal Floyd who could bring more to the offense than Boldin.

Since Mangold was cut he doesn't hurt the compensatory formula so The Ravens could sign him right now if they wanted to.
