Update: Welcome to B-More, Jeremy Maclin!

The structure of the deal makes it where it is easy to release him in 2-3 years. KO was the type of OL who deserved that type of money. You would have seen a noticeable difference in the run game if we were able to keep him and still drafted Stanley. I wouldn't even have matched the deal for Wagner, but I would've paid KO and I know they claim we made a "fair" or "good" deal, but reports say he didn't like the offer we made, I think.

Of course he didnt like the deal. The Ravens offered to make him the highest paid guard in the NFL and he wanted top 5 LT money.

I'm still not going to pay a guard left tackle money. Especially one with back issues.

I was praying that we would target Brandon Brooks, he signed a 5/40 contract and is every bit as good on the interior as KO. But hey, who needs a guard when you have the likes of Urschel and Jensen.

I would've paid if there was a way.

First off, we were never going to outbid Oakland. That was not a thing we could possibly do so there was no offer we make that keeps him a Raven.

Second, if we play it your way we end up at best like a worse off Dallas because Dallas has a crazy oline but a QB on a rookie deal which is not a luxery we have. Teams like Oakland and Dallas and Seattle can play that way because of that but the Ravens can not.

don't matter though as we have campanaro, wallace and perriman. be afraid NFL..be very afraid..

They're afraid we'll be raiding their practice squad by week 3...
 
the more i look at us and i look at what other teams have done, I'm certain we are picking in the top 8. we're a 6-10 team at BEST.

Chrissakes we're gonna run the damn ball and go deep and play defense.

And if we don't i certainly hope you will start a thread that says I was wrong in bold letters and bump it throughout the offseason

I could see us go anywhere from 6-10 to 10-6 with the defense we are fielding. If he had a damn offensive line/offense in general we'd be a super bowl team sometime within the next 4 years. But nope. We've neglected the line yet again.

I have 0 issues with losing out on Maclin if we tried. The WR situation doesn't worry me as much as it does for others. I actually think we could surprise some people. But I doubt we will be able to run the ball again and Flacco won't get adaquate time.

My prediction has changed from 10-6 to 7-9.

Absolutely crazy to think we got worse from last year while our defense on paper looks a lot better. That or you're drinking the Sami kool aid.

I'd be surprized if we make a play for Maclin but lets not dump on the oline already. I don't want to get too off topic here but we gotta at least see how they line up in training camp and go from there. I think Hurst gets shit on a lot more than he should and if he drops a deuce perhaps we can go with Lewis at RT and insert Siragusa. My main curiousty is who's lining up at C. That's right now the major problem imo but if they let Zuttah go there's gotta be something up their sleeve.

For the years ive seen you posting, have you ever made an actual positive post? If only we would have traded for Julio and Joe Thomas, signed Lynch and went and got Bill Parcels, but damn, stuck here......

This is what you remind me of...Wonder who gets the reference
