Two things are wrong with this statement.

1) We got Oher, Kruger, and Lardarius Webb in the first three rounds of the 2009 draft.

It's not Oher or Kruger's fault they kept moving them around and not playing either player in their best role. Oher is a good RT, and will get better if they put him there and leave him there (as they seem like they've finally decided to do). Kruger just got a $40 Million contract for doing in one season what he should have been doing from the jump. I don't think he's worth the contract, but he's an excellent situational player. Webb is one of the best CBs in the league (when healthy). Additionally, there were only a handful of players drafted after Oher through the end of the 2nd round that are worth a crap, and one of them is Kruger, who we also drafted.

2) Eric DeCosta is a scrawny little dude. Telling him something unpopular (and inaccurate) to his face is some sort of crowning achievement?

Sometimes it takes guys a few years to really grow up. Hopefully being on a team like the Ravens with positive reinforcement will help him grow up and realize the opportunity he has.

That said, I don't have a least favorite Raven. They're all my favorites because they're all Ravens.

I am sorry, but at 23, one should not do stupid things like he is doing. Don't use the age excuse.

What planet are you living in? 23 year olds do stupid things every day and that includes getting into legal troubles.

Woodley said it in a way that Flacco couldn't because he would have to go though pitt to do it, considering we still haven't beat pitt in the playoffs, I think so far he is right. Now, if the question were answered like this, "No, Flacco isn't good enough to win the SB under any circumstance, ever" ...... then I would have to agree.

Also, my least favorite active Raven is Dickson, he has all the makings of an uncoverable TE, but his hands are awful.

I think too much is made about Dickson's potential. He has good size and speed, but he's not that exceptional.

40 Times and size of TEs:

Dickson 4.59 - 6'4" 255
Pitta 4.63 - 6'4" 245
Furstenburg 4.62 - 6'3" 242

When you look at the numbers his speed and size advantage is marginal over Pitta or Furstenburg. He's athletic, but far from a freak athlete like a Vernon Davis who ran a 4.38 40 or has a physical advantage a guy like Gronkowski has to out muscle DBs. Bottom line is he has disappointed on the field while Pitta has excelled. He needs to step it up this year.

I don't buy the age excuse because he's only one year older. 24 year olds still do the same dumb things 23 year olds do.

He's not 30 looking back at 23...he's 24 looking back at 23.

There is no excuse for the type of deviant behavior that he has been a part of, age withstanding. I do not understand why you are sticking up for such poor behavior, but to each his own I guess.

Way to put words in my mouth. I don't tolerate that kind of behavior either but if you think 23 year olds should act like saints you need to pay a little more attention.

He's been given a lot of chances. Do you believe he will succeed or continue to falter?
