Perriman is a bust- besides Torrey, what makes you think that Oz can draft WRs? It's a known fact, that he strikes out year after year on WRs and safeties (after Ed Reed) and TEs (after Heap). Torrey Smith did more in his first year than what Perriman did in his 3rd year. Even if Perriman has a breakout year in year 3 or year 4, then he'll be too expensive to keep and Oz will let him walk like he did with Torrey and Anquan- simply put, it's Oz's philsophy not to pay WR too much money because he thinks he can draft a cheaper WR like the patriots a (untrue of course bc he can't draft any good receivers). So anyhow, this team unfortunately is like swiss cheese- we have way too many holes all over the team. I said two years ago that we don't make the playoffs in 2016- I willl say it agian that we won't make it this year either. We basically need to rebuild now.

We all know Ozzie can NOT draft WR's. As for "3 and out Flacco" he has become one of the GREATEST "over paid QB" in NFL history. He needs to go. How many second stringers could we sign that would also get us to 8 and 8??
With the cap money we would save we could start to rebuild a OLD and SLOW team.

Probably many.

They just wouldn't get us to the SB, which Joe did.

So there's that difference.

Joe got us to the SB when he was paid like $3M a year. Since Oz has to devote so much to Joe's salary now, he can't build a meaningful team- in a way, Oz and DaCosta have been exposed because they can't build a good team around a highly paid QB now that flacco is getting paid

Peculiar how out of our 11 draft picks this past year, only 6 of them actually showed some production, with 4 getting injured and one going to the practice squad.

yeah, it looked like a pretty good draft until you realize we had 11 picks.

I agree 100%- you took the words out of my mouth

Said it a couple times. Juszczyk is the biggest priority. He may not be the best UFA, that belongs to Brandon Williams, but the Ravens need to revive their run game ASAP and having the best FB in the game helps. He wont take an incredibly high cap room either so negotiations should be faster. If Ravens decide to focus on Williams first, they may miss on Juszczyk, that's why I believe they should do him first. Also, if Williams ends up wanting too much money and Ravens cant pay him, Michael Pierce can come in the rotation. He played incredibly well as an undrafted rookie. Plus, the Ravens have prepared in case Williams left. Pierce, WIllie Henry and Carl Davis could all be in the mix. Sure Williams is a better player, but there is a back up plan already in the team. If Juszczyk leaves there's a hole in a position the Ravens really need right now

First of all, Juice is one of the reasons the run game stinks- because he can't block. Even though he went to Harvard, he probably can't spell block. Vontae was a much better blocker, and he tried to teach Juice- Juice just gets overpowered by LB and can't block. Ozzie cheaped out on Vontae and let him walk. Our run game has been pitiful Vontae left

Peculiar how out of our 11 draft picks this past year, only 6 of them actually showed some production, with 4 getting injured and one going to the practice squad.

You figure with all those draft picks we wouldn've found one stud- unfortunately, that wasn't the case- same thing with the past 6 draftts

Working at UA is a lot better than working in a shoe store like Matt Elam did years ago. At this point, Elam may have to work at a shoe store because he most likely won't have a job this upcoming season.

I also think we need to break up the best friend trio of Flacco, Pitta, and Juice- they all hang out like best buddies, and frankly, I feel uncomfortable with them being so close- that's why our offense isn't that good. Flacco helped his personal stylist, Pittta bread, get a $3M bonus last year (one reason our cap is so low too) because he threw all these short passes/ dinks to Pitta all the time because they are bffs.. I don't know what Oz was thinking bringing Watson here - while a nice man, he's also an old man. At this point, we need to let Watson and Pitta walk because they are too expensive- and we should also let Juice walk because he's overated. bottom line, this team isn't very good- we can't even keep average players like Pitta, Watson and Juice because of poor cap manahgement and years of terrible drafts- we have no base/ foundation of young players, and we sign old players on the cheap (Ozzies' favorite strategy), and now look what we have to deal with. Oz and DaCosta aren't good GMs when they have to devote a lot of money to a QB- it's much harder to keeep a good team together when unelite Flacco takes up 22M or whatever it is...

First of all, we'd be very stupid to offer Juice more than $1.5M a season. He doesn't have great speed and worst of all he can't block- he can't block a crawling baby. But I have a feeling we're going to try to keep him because he might be a fan favorite. Personally, I'd let him go- we let a good Vontae go because he got too expensive, so the same thing will probably happen for Juice- imagine if he leaves, then we'll have another hole on this team - we're like swiss cheese due to all these bad drafts by Ozzie and DaCosta- bottom line, let him walk- he's not a great blocking fullback- otherwise, our RB would have a lot more yardage- and we have 10 tightends on our team - 10 too many- too bad all of them aren't elite either.

I'd like Matt Elam back on the veteran minimum. Also be nice if we could retain juice. Brandon Williams would be nice to keep over Wagner, I'd just hate to break the bank for him. 

Are you serious? Are you Elam's mother? I think you're the only one in DMV who wants Elam back. Next, you'll say you want Terrance Brooks back too- failed draft picks...

besides Brandon Williams everyone else on the list is expendable- great job Oz and DaCosta..

Oz and Dacosta cant even 'pick' their noses.. Matt Elam, sergio, brookes, brown, and perriman - need i say more? dacosta and oz get too much credit- yes, way back they drafted well but not recently

I blame Ozzie for getting rid of all our good players- JJ was only meant to play for us and no one else

We have so many holes on this team, and due to poor cap management/ failed drafts, this team is doomed every year- Flacco taking up elite money is also hurting us as well. Oz was successful when he didn't have to spend a lot on a qb- ever since he's had to allocate a lot of $$ to Flacco, the team has just gotten worse and worse (not even mentioning the bad drafts over the past five years). So Brandon Williams is going to pull a KO on us, and I think we also lose Wagner. I don't think people like to play for Harbs, and he's a dead coach walking because he's been losing more than he's winning- the team may appear to be stable, but we will have another down year this year as well- we don't make the playoffs two years from now - maybe not even then.

WHAT TYPE OF OFFENSIVE LINEMEN DO RAVENS WANT?

We want ones that become good, but ones that we can't sign to their second contacts because of poor cap management. Wagner will be following in KO's foot steps.

Too bad we won't draft the kid- Oz and DaCosta have amnesia on the cornerback position for the first 3 rounds of each draft

Too bad we don't know how to draft any good safeties- just like we don't know how to draft good corners and good WR (except for Torrey who is gone now)

Let's hope Oz doesn't offend Brown with a lowball offer like he did with KO- that apparently pee'd off KO to the point where he didnt want to talk with us- he leaves and goes to the pro bowl- go figure.. every since average joe flacco took half our cap space,, Oz and DaCosta can't figure out how to keep a winning team- that's why we alwasy get these old receivers, hand me down corners, etc.. because we've also drafted so badly and don't have a foundation of younger players who can contribute- i feel badly for Harbs in a way, but he also has input into who he wants on the team as well- it's sad but looking true that we can't win anymore because of the leadership void of R Lewis and E Reed and even Pollard and Haloti- we're just a bunch of sofites now without any kind of defensive indentity- Flacco is nothing without these other leaders who led the team

Tell someone else besides Oz and DaCosta to make the WR pick- please. Because we know what happens when we draft WR- they all suck

He should retire a Panther - that's where his home is at.

I don't know who made our draft picks in the past 5 years, but if it was Ozzie, then he needs to go, and if it was Eric, then he needs to go. The past 5-6 draftd have been really bad- I don't know why people think our GMs are still that good.

Damn shame that this young man had to leave like this, but it could've been much worse- so he's doing the right thing to put this into perspective. I'm happy he's leaving on his own term and with his health.

Our problem is letting our guys go(the ones we draft): Kruger...Upshaw--Torrey--McPhee--KO- we missed on ELAM/BROWN... maxx/carl davis aren't doing much...this year we will let wagner juice and bwill go... how do you expect us to be any good??? soo yea don't blame flacco..Our Coordinators or even our Running game....don't blame anyone but the FO/GM... they have no idea how to pick talent past couple of years.... they are good DEPTH FINDERS not elite talent finders.

Kruger-situational pass rusher only, nothing else

Upshaw- average ILB or system player

Torrey- would not fight even if someone steals his lunch money.

McPhee-another systematic guy and injury away from retirement.

KO- asking too much money and only teams that won't spend anything or cheap for past decade can afford it, so he asked for LT money to play for the LG...what a rip off.....

I don't see any problem you are listing but more like positive takeaways...

 

Kruger: do we have anyone else that can be a situational passrusher.. id take kruger over ZADARIUS OR JUDON OR MCCLELAN
Upshaw: best edge setter since JOHNSON.. why get rid of him
torrey: Since he left.. flacco has gone deep barely once a game... WE NEEDED HIM
McPhee: injuries this injuries that... he was starting to become what we needed then got rid of him... pathetic
KO: sometimes you just have to pay people... simple as that. we paid yanda how many times? why because hes the best we got.

The Ravens offered Torrey a contract. He took the Niners offer of MORE MONEY. Offered KO a contract, he took the Raiders offer of MORE MONEY. McPhee and Kruger wanted to test the FA Market to see how much MORE MONEY they could get. Do you see a trend here? You can't play a good player great player money. The Raiders had the money to offer KO simply because they have not had to address breaking the bank with Carr and the QB position.....for now.

Oz low balled KO- google it- KO was offended by it, and no way he was going to come play for the Ravens. Just like Oz tried to lowball Anquan on the last year of his contract, and see what happened after we lost Anquan- we only made it to the playoffs once since he and Torrey left. Bad Oz, bad Oz

Oz has cornerback amnesia on draft days.... He'll most likely take another lineman or linebacker in the first couple of rounds as usual. hopefully, he doesn't pull another Elam

"He (Perriman) has a lot of tools. There’s not one thing he can’t do on a football field – height, size, speed, everything you need – and he can make plays,” SSS did not have height, size, speed but did great by catching the ball.

Perriman can't even get on the field. In his Year II, he wasn't even as good as Torrey was in Torrey's first year- this guy has got to learn how to catch the ball and stay healthy- then he can become, at best, a legitimate #2 or #3 receiver in this league
