What were the other options we had at QB when the confetti was dropping in New Orleans? Eventually most teams will have to BUCK UP for their QB. The Raiders are next. Pay Carr and not resign other key players along with not being able to sign free agents due to cap space. That's life in the NFL today.

Translated....Williams is going to hit the FA market and sign with the team that offers him the most money. Real simple.

I swear in my alternate universe we beat the Browns twice last year again. In my dream I attended one of the games but missed the go ahead td because I was in the head. I had a dream as well. The Browns will be 2 of our 8 wins this upcoming season.

So we picked Perriman with our #1 pick because we envisioned him morphing into Torrrey Smith? Sad.

Would not surprise me if the Browns picked up Tyrod. What else would you expect from the Browns. They will always be 3 years away from being 5 years away.

They better find a way to get along. Another 8-8 season and they'll all be looking for jobs.

13 catches in the last five games and four of those came in the last game. A #1 pick has got to give you more than that.

Victor Cruz. No Thank You.

Bottom line, when a player is fortunate to get to their second contract it always comes down to the bottom line. Wagner will go to whatever team pays him the most and it's NOT going to be the Ravens.

When a team drafts a player with their #1 pick they are confident they picked a playmaker......they usually don't "Hope" he becomes one.

Every team eventually has to buck up for the QB. To your other point, the horrible drafts since 2009 have finally caught up with us, in particular a lot of the early picks.

No it won't Williams is slightly above average I don't see all the concerns about losing this guy he is not a good Pass rusher and DOSEN'T come up big in big games There it is.....THE TRUTH.

Translated.....Williams is going to whatever team offers him the most money. On another note, if we release Mike Wallace we will not have ONE legitimate NFL WR on the team.

Thank you. A bunch of guys, who if released we wouldn't notice.

We moved up to get Williams because we "stole" him from the Steelers. TE in the NFL is now in the same category as RB's. There are "those" guys such as Gronk and a few others, but for the most part you could put every TE on different rosters and teams wouldn't miss a beat. All of all TE's are in that category.

How about we just nail some early round picks for a change. Can't take anymore Arthur Brown, KC, Elam type picks. They eventually catch up to you which is why we are so mediocre now.

That's what you get when the roster is loaded with "roster fillers"

If it has the Super Bowl patch on it I'll take it off your hands. THANKS!

When a team picks you #1 you better NOT be a #2 WR.

If it weren't for Flacco there would not be a SB win! You need to donate his jersey because you obviously don't cherish it. I disagree. We would have still won without Flacco. The fact really is that without pro bowl players around him, Flacco can't even get to the playoffs let alone Super Bowl . Tyrod would not have lead us through the playoffs and Super Bowl victory like Joe did. CASE CLOSED.

Translated. Correa was a second round bust.

In this day and age but not when Joe Montana played. Rules are all different. True. When Montana played the receivers were allowed to be touched

Gotta have respect for any team that wind 13 to 14 games EVERY YEAR, that seems to host the AFC Title game EVERY YEAR, and seems to be in the Super Bowl EVERY YEAR. Bad news for us Ravens Fans, Next year the Pats will win13 to 14 games, host the AFC Title Game, and go to the Super Bowl........AGAIN.

So so sick of hearing this. No they were 1 win closer to reaching the playoffs. No one can logically say they would have beaten the Bengles. No one can honestly think that CIN would not have come to play if it meant ruining our season. And no one can honestly say, after how hot/cold Joe Flacco and the ravens have been over the past 10 years that they could not have collapsed in cincy. I would have hoped we would have won but so many fans have said this and it couldn't be more wrong. Agree. Ravens were a mediocre team. Good teams find a way to win the game in Pittsburgh. Mediocre teams find a way to lose them. CASE CLOSED.

Yes, but that ad revenue is gigantic. TV networks literally pay billions of dollars just for broadcast rights. Look at the numbers for 2014 for example. M&T has a capacity of just over 71,000. Average ticket prices for the year was just over $100. Doing the math, if they sold every seat at the average ticket price for every home game (10, including preseason), they'd do $71M in ticket revenue. Sounds great right? Except we know, via the Packers public financial filing, that NFL teams EACH made $226.4M in TV revenue in 2014. Concessions are hard to predict obviously, but needless to say, not everybody spends money at games. The tailgate experience eliminates a lot of peoples needs for those products, and the Ravens don't get 100% of those revenues either. Parking pass revenue for the Ravens exists only for PSL owners, as they are the one's they're selling the passes to. Significantly cheaper than the secondary market prices you are quoting. Keep in mind that the Ravens don't make a dime off secondary market prices, so when you're paying $100 for a parking pass on Stubhub, the broker is getting most of that, not the Ravens. 1. The NFL is a smart money making machine. If your explanation is correct then why would the NFL even have fan attendance. They should tell all fans to now stay home because they make more money. The teams do make money in the secondary market on tickets but ONLY if the tickets are sold through the NFL Ticket Exchange. I guess no matter how we slice and dice it the money is crazy compared to other sports. Gate attendance, NFL Properties/merchandise, TV money drives the entire machine.
