"Not that far off the Broncos"? Literally Baltimore is miles away from Denver in distance and figuratively the Ravens are miles away from the Broncos in talent. At any position, offense or defense, what Raven would crack Denver's starting 22? On defense, maybe B. Williams and that's it. On offense, Yanda and Osemele. Flacco at QB, probably. This demonstrates a huge talent gap between the two teams. Also, Baltimore's aggregate record over the past 3 years is below .500. Simply put, the Ravens are a below average team with minimal talent while Denver are SB champs oozing with talent. That gap is drastic. It will be years before the talent gap is narrowed, but it will be interesting to watch the Ravens hopefully develop again into bonafide SB contenders.
