Who do you think is the most important player we drafted in 08?
Curious to see what people think.
2 obvious are, Joe and Ray.
I would say Joe, and honestly its not close, because we know first hand what its like to search a decade for a Legitimate QB, No offense to Ray Rice, i love him, but it seems in today's NFL if you don't have a solid Franchise QB you cant win, and Running backs are almost a dime a dozen in today's NFL.
Its funny to think even though Ray has been a pro bowler, and honestly the best RB we've had since Jamal, We've seen what this offense looks like with a shitty QB, and a hell of a back.
Re: Who do you think is the most important player we drafted in 08?
I think they are both equally important, but Joe Flacco is easily the most important draft pick in the past 4 years. Without Joe, this team probably doesn't go to the playoffs in 4 straight years and Ray Rice probably doesn't enjoy the success that he's had either.

Right.. the idea is, we've had a great Pro bowl runner before. A lot of people including myself think J Lewis is the best back to ever wear a ravens uniform. Ray Rice is closing the gap at a quick pace, but the offense wasn't nearly as good as it is now with a Great RB, and a horrible QB.
I would go as far as to say, Flacco is the most important pick we've made cine Ray Lewis. If he wins a Ring, he could trump him. In today's NFL you just cant win without a Franchise QB.

Both were great pics and I doubt the ravens would be a 12 win team without both in the mix, but a good Qb is harder to find than even a great rb is.

I don't know if its easy to find a back as good as rice, but man, i just cant imagine in todays NFL trying to win consistently without a good QB.

agree with Flacco 100%.
Add the fact that he was a first rounder and has produced on a similer level as the 1st overall pick that same year.
No slight to Rice, who at this point is a top 3 back every year.

Hey Joe! (reminds me of a song). The QB touches the ball 99% percent of the offensive snaps. Going into a 4th straight playoff season the QB gets the nod IMO. Hey Joe..that's you Buddy!
BTW Ray Rice you are better than Jamal Lewis. You're the next Barry Sanders. Run Ray Run!

I think it has to be Flacco. He was the first succesful QB the Ravens ever drafted.
