Eric weddle played at an all pro level last year even if it wasn't recognised - he's way more than solid - he solidified an entire unit by being excellent and a leader - I don't think there's any doubt that he was a phenomenal signing
notice how all the teams with the most cap space are perennial losers and the teams who annually spend the most in free agency are perennially mediocre - overpaying doesn't pay
right player-right price and Jefferson would not fit that bill - we'd be dumping Webb for a guy who we would be paying similarly when Webb played pretty well last year for his first season at safety
I see you are a weedle fan but just to clear it up he's average and on the down side of his career If he could have tackled A brown we would have beat the steelers and the guy gets beat deep a lot because he plays out of position and doesn't have the speed to recover
To be clear, Weddle missed THREE tackles ALL year. He was graded as the 10th BEST player in the ENTIRE nfl and the BEST safety in the league. http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2017/2/10/14559076/pff-ranks-two-ravens-among-the-top-10-players-of-2016 He got beat over the top ONE TIME (link below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AC2if-GELA It seems that these two plays (A Brown stop, C Hogan bomb) have become so prominent in your mind that you have extrapolated them across the entire season.
Yes because those 2 plays alone each cost us the game those are facts and far as pff goes their rankings don't mean JACK
Well, jsarrocohome you have bolstered your arguments in the past by highlighting your participation in "organized football" for 5 years. And I must admit that, that is extremely impressive. And it is an accomplishment that automatically makes your arguments about the Ravens much more credible than those that have played 4, 3, 2, 1 or 0 years of football. But I would ask you this... has your 5 years of football made you better at player evaluation than the coaches, players and pundits in the NFL. I ask you this because you will not find an article, interview, or transcript that agrees with your evaluation of Weddle. Are you so good at player evaluation that you are seeing something that they don't? Are they missing something so big that it would completely change their minds about Weddle? If you can find an article, interview or transcript that supports your views I would love to see it. Now lets forget about PFF for a moment. I am going to directly disprove your accusations. "can't tackle he's slow and so overrated" This is quote from you which I am going to disprove with real FACTS (Labeling your objective statements as facts is a bit disingenuous.) WEDDLE missed THREE tackles this whole year. The notion that he can't tackle is absurd. http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2017/2/10/14559076/pff-ranks-two-ravens-among-the-top-10-players-of-2016 "the guy gets beat deep a lot because he plays out of position and doesn't have the speed to recover" This is another one of your statements. For the first half of the year Weddle game up 5 passes for 25 yards. For the second half of the year he gave up 9 catches only one was for 25 yards or greater. Add on to that 4 interceptions and 13 passese defensed. Being out of position was clearly not an issue that he dealt with this year.http://feed.hypervocal.com/items/438534 These are facts. These are objective numbers with no grey area. Capitalizing the word "FACTS" does not make your subjective statements any more real.
I noticed billie jean that you like to comment on about everything I say you must really like me In the case of weddle I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks I know what a good football player looks like and you can disagree from now till hell freezes over but it doesn't change what I see Weddle is a average NFL safety and yes Me and lots of other smart fans know more about players than Some coaches, coaches sometimes have emotional attachment to players and fans will call it like it is by the way forgot to mention when weddle moved out of carson wentz's way and watched him score
