Least favorite Raven

**downside52** · 05-07-2013, 07:53 AM

I have become friends with two active NFL players (one was a neighbor, another a guy I knew through involvement with a charity) in the last couple of years, and if I have learned one thing from the little glimpses I occasionally get into the world inside the NFL it's that as fans, we DONT know these guys for real. Their interviews, twitter feeds, and backstory that their agents put together may or more likely may not be an actual reflection of who they are day to day when the cameras arnt rolling.

Well, in Flacco's five playoff seasons, the Steelers have only given him two chances. The Patriots, for example, have given him three. Considering Flacco's been in the post season every year waiting on them, and more than half those times the Steelers have failed to meet him there (either busy vacationing or getting Tebowed) - well, that makes me think Woodley is still wrong.

Rolando McClain is very tough to root for. He's cocky and stupid. That's a bad combination.

yeah I haven't posted in this thread because I don't have a least favorite... unless he's in the mix.

Took me a while to come up with one, then finally it dawned on me... the second rounder we were giving to Philly for someone who refused to report to here.

Least favorite all-time Raven Terrell Owens, glad you stayed away in 2004, you are enshrined just ahead of Jason Garrett who wasn't traded here (just traitoring here)

I'm hoping McClain turns it around. I certainly don't wish for him to falter.
He has a unique opportunity here and it is his last.
This is the right place and the right team to turn his life around.
He is on an extremely short leash of his own creation.
He can become the person and teammate he should be or he will fall over the cliff.
It is up to him now.
He has to prove to everyone he belongs AND wants to belong and it won't be easy.

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.

Nice spin, but I'm not giving him a "he's right" pass on what he said. He was wrong on more than one account. Flacco did lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl win, and the Ravens don't have to beat the Steelers to do it. Oh, and the Steelers aren't the team to beat in the AFC. That's a lot of hubris from Woodley.

His target was Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. Woodley was asked if Flacco could lead the Ravens to a Super Bowl win, and here was Woodley's response:

"No, not at all because they have to go through one team -- that's the Pittsburgh Steelers in that AFC championship. So in order for them to get to the Super Bowl, they have to beat us, and we're not gonna let that happen once we get that close. So that's not gonna happen in this lifetime."

I'm two years older than him, and while I've made MORE than my fair shake of questionable decisions, never once have I thought firing a gun off next to someones head or signing "FUCK YA'LL" on a ticket for something as minor as a tint violation was a reasonable idea

You can't chalk it up to being young, he's a special kind of stupid. Now maybe he can turn a corner and mature as he gets older, but I won't hold my breath.

Considering he isn't a lock to make the team I think picking him is a bit of a cop out, so I'll go with Tandon Doss. Hopefully he changes my mind this year

Agreed. Close second for me would be Leon Searcy.

As far as the current roster I don't think I have any "least favorites". I hope they all do well.
