Almost every talking head and expert I've seen has rated the Ravens draft as an A. Yet somehow 85% of our fans think it sucked?
I wanted to make an account just to lose it, but the ignorance was so bad that it would be pointless. It's amazing to think that they can't just stop for a second and welcome these players to Ravens Nation. They're now one of us (sorta) and I'm sure we wouldn't appreciate it if that was anyone's response to us.
Exactly, these young guys are now a part of the team and should be welcomed and at least given an opportunity before people of their own fan base bash them. I'm sure though if these guys turn into pro bowlers or solid contributors, they will be the first to buy their jerseys. Much like Lardarius Webb a few years back.
Bashing the players and bashing the draft itself are two different things. The players could all be great - but if we don't stop ignoring offense and simply throwing hand me down vets & developmental players at it don't expect it to improve.
