Not going to lie. Reading rmcjacket23's comments/replies to other poster is more fun than the actual articles. I always look for the ridiculous comments with the inevitable blast of logic that follows. One of the few "fans" that takes the "fanatic" out of fan, and replaces it with reason. ;)

Metalraven.... that is the issue in itself. mcjacket makes some very good points and his interaction on this site is valuable and even desired but you said it yourself... mcjackets focus seems to be at times on critiquing other guests on the site more then stating his own opinion on the articles. This at times comes across as condescending and even at times a little pompous. I do appreciate his reasoning and his football IQ and I value his opinion on many topics but the approach of focusing on the fans more than the articles can cause his logic and reasoning to be missed from time to time. Hope this is not taken by mcjacket as a personal attack on him...just offering my viewpoint bc metalraven offered his about the approach of mcjacket. Just my opinion!

If it comes off this way, its generally because I don't think the poster spent the time and effort to actually formulate a rationale thought or do the research required to make the claims they made.

Its easy to just throw opinions out there and say "well its just my opinion", but I think its takes a much more knowledgeable and educated fan to research some of these thing and formulate opinions based on actual fact and merit, instead of just venting hindsight frustrations that are typically misguided entirely.

Newsome is one of the best personnel men in the NFL. Chris Moore , keep an eye on him if healthy he and Dixon could be the surprises of this years draft.

Whoever's closest wins. I'm pretty sure it was me. I just don't understand the Hester deal. Why pay an old, 33, injured, one trick pony up to $4 mil. And cut a younger, 25, considerably cheaper, (300,000?) guy who lead the team in PS receiving. Who can also play WR, be in the mix to return Ps and KOs and be a strong ST performer. Must be something we don't know about.

Actually somebody did Win. And guess who it was?

Yep, this guy.

Just received confirmation. Absolutely cannot contain my excitement right now. Honestly didn't think I had a chance after the Forsett fiasco but obviously that threw everybody off.

Yeah, just ask him about Stanley and Mike Wallace.....lol. I had lengthy arguments with him before the draft by saying the the Ravens needed to pick up a #2 WR ( I had recommended Keenan Allen) but Wallace was a good move and the type of receiver I think was needed. And of course he was adamantly against me stating to use our 1st pick on Stanley. So while he might be knowledgeable, his blasts are not always logical or the actual way the Ravens might go.

Losing Watson was a tough blow. Loosing Brooks just didn't feel too good but overall it's been a great summer. We get our QB back, a great lineman and a few good toys for Flacco to play with. Suggs back and Weddle may be the best 2 players on D. They weren't there last year.
