Ravens All Time Worst Players

221 posts in this topic

Sorry bro. But all these dudes are 10x's Oniel Cousins. All of them. In fact, Oniel Cousins could make up the top 7-10 Worst Ravens all by himself.

I don't feel as bad about Chykie Brown but I'd still take the 5 on your list any day over him

Lol . They didn't call Cousin's The Matador for nothing !!!

Lee Evans basically cost us a Superbowl (would've smoked the Giants that year, imo). That gives him the distinct award of All-Time worst Ravens players. 

 

As much as we got on Cundiff for missing that chipshot, it wouldn't have won the game. Evans drop would have WON the game. Its def one of the worse plays in the history of the Ravens.

Right. It really wasn't a drop, but Evans didn't wrap the ball after the catch like every kid whoever caught a ball in Pop Warner is taught to do. Worst play in the history of the team, no question.

I have to side with you on this one.

Catching the football is his JOB. This includes situations where a defender is trying to knock the ball out.

He had his hands on it, it was a PERFECT pass..and he allowed it to be knocked out.

Also the gravity of the situation comes into play.

Let's play some revisionist history here..

That throw to Evans would have gone down as one of the greatest throws in playoff history. The Ravens would have smashed the Giants in the SB.

Couple that with what Joe did the next year, now sharing the 11th 0int record with Montana, the Mile high Miracle pass, SB MVP....

Joe Flacco would most definitely be a hall of fame quarterback. Jeez, what if he had won TWO SB MVP's consecutively?

Worst play in Ravens history? Yes..by far.

Edit..now that I'm thinking here. .Joe is a few plays in his career from 4 Super Bowl appearances. Wow.

For those who really want to argue over the Lee Evans catch, watch this. It's in slow motion, which really gives a good look at things. He's already in the process of turning as he's catching the ball and looks to be getting both feet down before he can go down, which is reasonable. He also has the ball knocked out in under two slow motion seconds of it hitting his hands. Saying that Lee Evans should have tucked the ball away and gone to the ground when the play happened that fast is naive because you don't know his motives and at that speed, it's impossible to know what they were, but considering he's a professional football player, you can bet he knows how to catch and get down. After all, he had over 300 catches and 40 touchdowns before that play. It was really just an extremely good play by Moore.

But hey, the Ravens won it after the 2012 season, so who really cares? It's unlikely they do it back to back, anyway, so I'm just happy they got to the Super Bowl and won the very next year.

I agree with this.People(mainly us) underestimate the play by the defensive back.Had the ball hit him uninterrupted it'da make a better claim.

But we needed a scapegoat.

Do I think he should have held on? Yeah, I do, but it was a damn good play by the defender
