Guys, melvin was on a practice squad and went undrafted. He played pretty damn well considering. The person who said he will never be relevant obviously hasnt watched Melvin enough to fairly judge him. What people fail to realize is that Melvin was pushed into the fire at a young age with barely any game time experience. As a starter! If hes this good now, just wait until he gets the proper coaching and mechanics down. Hes definately got the size. Imagine him and Jimmy Smith. That would probably be the two tallest duo CB's. I didnt want this post to be this long but cmon give Melvin some time. If he played that well for a new team with no game time experience then he will be alot better. Just watch.

Torrey is not a hated man. Well to some maybr but not to most. People are just pointing out the facts. He wasnt a pure hands catcher. Yes he had some hands catches but most of his catches were sloppy. I will give him credit though. He did get better with his mechanics every year. He was extremely passive. He gave up consistently on his routes-especially towards the middle of field. I think Perriman is significantly better coming out of college the Torrey was and has a higher ceiling. I dont see much similarities between the two really. Someone pointed out the hes similar to DT. I agree with that.

I was saying those are the receivers who got 1000 yards for us. I know boldin never had an 1000 yard season for us.

Isnt great? Any receiver who gets 1000 yards in thr NFL is a great season. Given torrey only had one 1000 yard season with us and maybe Mason also, its not easy. If BP gets 1000 yards his rookie year, I will be estatic and he'll be in the running for OROY. Not to mention a huge relief off our shoulders because we finally have a star receiver.

It was his rookie year. This will be his second year with Joe at QB to gain communication. Camp will only get better as long as he can stack days on the field instead of being injured.

But camp has game time experience and has done very well when not injured. I feel very confident Camp can turn into a great slot receiver for us. He just has to his body in shape to avoid injuries. One thing abot em is he plays fearless. We dont know about Butler.

John Urschel left Penn State. Juice is from Harvard.

Its not about the ranking they put on Joe, its about what they left out of the reason why. They failed to mention Joes cast of receivers and never had a number one receiver like most "elite" QB's have. They left out the drop rate Jor has to deal with over the years and Lee Evans drop that was right in the bread basket. They failed to mention so many things but yet they say our defense carries Joe which is simply untrue. The 2012 season is not an anomoly because joe has been January Joe for a while now. Its not about the ranking.

And they fail to mention our receivers drop rate!

What those executives fail to mention is joe flaccos recievers. Joe has never had a number one receiver. And that 2012 was not an anomoly. Joe has done this nearly every post season. If lee evans catches that pass, we would have two super bowls. Joe doesnt have a megatron or antonio Brown or DT. He works with was he has.

"Go build a museum"? Really? Basically saying that under him, there will never be a Baltimore team. Well look at Baltimore now. Redskins have been irrelevant for the last two decades. Ravens own ALL of MD.

People say that we need Reggie incase Steve gets injured but where does that leave Reggie if Steve doesnt get injured? A backup? If he iant a backup then he'll be taking valuable reps from our young guys. We dont need Reggie period. I have faith in marlon Brown/ kamar Aiken and Perriman even of Steve Smith gets injured.

No, not at all. Lets these young guys showcase.

Didnt say I was dimnishing or denying anything about Brady. I said hes overrated. Hes not the best quarterback the NFL has ever seen. He relies heavily on those short passes that make the recievers get all his yards. Hes a good quarterback, dont get me wrong, he makes great reads and is smart but hes overrated. Your opinion about how Brady is making belicheat look good is your opinion just how I think Tom Brady is overrated. Belicheat is a smart coach.. You cant deny that.

I think i read DT wants 15mil a year. Thats outrageous. He might just be a product of Peyton Manning.

Theres still time for us to sign them. I think one of them will get done before the regular season and thats probably Tucker..

This! Why wouldnt you want to face your opponents best? If we faced every team with one of their stars injured, how do you know how good we are? I dont want no excuses for this season. We have a better roster than 31 other teams in the NFL and I have total confidence in our team as a whole. People saying they hope DT is out don't have any pride in the ravens. I hope DT does play because I know he isnt gonna be doin much.

I tried telling JoeyFlex5 that Tom doesnt have a deep ball and Tom's overrated. Like Tannehill. He went on a long rant why Tom is a beast. If you take away those short throws then he isnt much.

I hope he does play. I have total confidence in us.

True but were you a fan before the Flacco era? We had some pretty tough seasons. Even when Joe retires, as long as we have ozzie/ decosta and or Harbaugh I think we'll be in pretty good shape. It took us two seasons to "rebuild" or whatever term you want to use. We did it quietly and turned over most of the Super Bowl roster. Manybother teams take years.

Exactly what I was saying. Teams like Cowboys, Steelers etc travel alot more than we do because alot of them are bandwagoners.

I was at that game. That stadium was rockin. People were throwin stuff on the New England sideline.

Just goes to show how loyal us ravens fans are. We have one of the smallest population cities and we dont travel too well bjt we're still in top 5. Feels good to be a ravens fan every day.

I can definitly see the Raiders and Chiefs but I think the Jags are gonna take a little longer. It seems whenever Pittsburgh loses a QB or WR, they always replace them quickly. Kordell Stewart, Tommy Maddox, Ben Roethlisberger, Holmes, Mike Wallace, and now Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton and a couple other young studs. The defense is horrid but Steelers draft well for defense. I would never say the Steelers will fall off. The Colts seem to ignore the defense which is weird because of Chuck Pagano but their offense is rediculous. An aging Frank Gore won't help them but T.Y. Hilton and Philip Dorset will be huge. The Colts will always be a good team but won't win a championship until they pay attention to their defense. What wins championships isnt a potent offense or defense.. It's balance. Jaguars are doing all the right things but it seems they can never catch a break. I see the Ravens, Steelers, Raiders, Patriots and Colts being the main contenders of the AFC for years to come. Oh yea, I know this is way off topic but I also see Marvin Lewis getting canned by seasons end after they either make the wildcard and lose or don't make the playoffs at all.

Yes, it is short. I take what Haloti said as a punch in the gut but at the same time he probably hated Dean Pees bend but dont break defense. If he was referring to Pees type of defense, then ok.. But if he was referring to the Suggs, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Peter Boulware, Trevor Pryce, Chris Mcalister, Samari Rolle defense, then I dont understand it.
