Re: $37 Million Dollars Sitting on the Sideline
Funny when mentioning Brady you left out ALL WORLD tight end Gronk. The best slot reciever in the past 15 years WELKER and when leading the team to 16-0 that bum that couldn't run or catch randy Moss also throw in the tightend now in jail that was pretty good Hernandez. Brady has had weapons and was carried to the first three Super Bowls by the defense. Remember the first Super Bowl run he got knocked out (while losing) and Bledsoe came in and led them to the win

Re: $37 Million Dollars Sitting on the Sideline
Two injuries on D seemed to happen out of sight - Webb and Davis. When Doom left that was real bad and it was immediately noticable. We had piss for pass rush after he departed. McCowan had all freaking day, and it was like Groundhog Day. The rush would come and slowly squeeze in from the left and right, and then he would step forward and to the right into a clear opening, where he had a choice of running forward untouched for 15 yards or throwing the ball for twenty or more, which is what he did over and over and over.
Say what you will about this defense but the combination of the front three plus Sizzle and Doom always made it challenging for offenses. It meant that teams could not run and had about 2.5 seconds to release the ball or they would be taking real chances. With a healthy secondary, they were capable of strangling the life out of teams. Take away Sizzle and Doom (and replace them with Babin and ZSmith) and the Ravens Defense is warm piss. There is not an NFL QB - not one - who with that much time in the pocket and with the McDonald's greeter squad for a Ravens secondary who will not light us up over and over again.
Folks, we saw how hard it is to fill out a secondary with quality players (I count a healthy Webb as a quality player and am perhaps jumping the gun in declaring Davis one but what difference does it make this year?) A good pass rusher is real premium. Unlike other positions it is very rare to find a good one outside of a high first-round draft pick or for an outrageous cap hit.
We will not get so lucky as a fax machine error twice. Maybe Doom's injury will be short lived and he has nore in the tank, but yikes! Seeing life without him and Sizzle is freaking scary.

Re: $37 Million Dollars Sitting on the Sideline
youre not wrong about that.
I would argue you can find Pass rushers outside the top half though. The premier ones, sure, but even then half of those top ones bust. guys like Houston, Jarred Allen, Dumervil, etc come out just about every year and fall to the mid rounds for whatever reason. its just recognizing and pulling the trigger to draft such a player when available that seems to escape us to some degree.
next year you can bet on a CB, WR and Pass rusher being drafted by this team. without question theyll be high priorities. which one, when is completely dependent upon how the draft shakes out.-JAB

Re: $37 Million Dollars Sitting on the Sideline
I saw something where pass rushers are the hardest to draft outside of the top rounds. People with the strength, quickness and hip flexibility to run around a tackle and keep pressure and/or bull rush are freaks of nature. They stand out and every scout is looking hard for them. The exceptions, where guys show that skill at the elite level AFTER being drafted are rare, and frankly, it is a bit chancy to throw a high-to-mid round pick on one.

Re: $37 Million Dollars Sitting on the Sideline
A few points here...I guess you missed when I said *running this offensive scheme * Brady had his offense tailor made to his strength (short accurate throws) which also hide his weakness (arm strength, slow as dirt)
So If you think Brady or any QB can come in with this crappy offensive scheme, were we all know every play before it happens, and we're not even paid coaches, I think your delusional.
Also, Name ONE player who actually took a real PAYCUT. It doesn't happen, they restructure, giving them more long term money. NO ONE in real life agrees to a pay cut
Well he did have a Hall of Famer in Wes Welker, who was every bit as good in denver, until he kept getting concussions. He was the best 3rd down receiver of all time, bar none
He also had HOF in Randy Moss,
The most unstoppable offensive Weapon I've seen since barry sanders in Gronk.
Aaron Hernandez would have been a #1 TE on any other team but the pats and saints
And the most important aspect to what makes Brady great....They scheme to his strengths. Harbaugh and his OC's never change their gameplan and its always predictable. The pat's scheme is top notch.
I guess you dont remember Matt Cassel tearing up the league
The argument was Flacco has no help on offense, and his schemes are never tailored to his strengths, or really good at all. Unlike brady, who has multiple HOF he has thrown to, and a tailored offense, that changes to fit the players.
Matt Cassel Replaced brady, Im sure flacco would throw for 5K yards in that offense. Put brady in our offense and he's injured half the year.
But its ok,You come off like a typical PSU fan, one who is completely ignorant of the big picture. Go pretend like your hero Joe Pa is a great guy. Go cry wolf, woah is PSU who received less punishment then OSU, Miami, or USC, while have boys sexually assaulted on campus. I feel you'd fit in better with the Big Ben fans

Re: $37 Million Dollars Sitting on the Sideline
No it's because you're a raging idiot. Julian Edelman and Gronkowski are both better than any pass catcher Flacco has ever had.
Joe Flacco has considerably outplayed Brady in every playoff game, yet the series is 2-2. Why not 4-0? Because Brady is on a much better team with much better coaching.
