All-time Ravens "dream team"

[LukeDaniel]

Not sure if this has ever been done before on this site, but it's a decent way of rehashing our history and passing time during the offseason.


The objective: Fill out one 53 man roster using one particular season from one particular player. You can only use a player once. Should be a source of some good debate and discussion.


The roster will follow this format

1-2 QB/Backup QB
3-5 RB/Backup RB/3rd string RB
6- FB
7-9 TE/TE2/blocking or 3rd string TE
10-14 Starting OLine
15-17 backup O-line
18-22 WR
23 K
24 P
25 LS (yuck)

For argument sakes, we will use a 3LB/4DL configuration

26-29 Starting DLine
30-32 Starting LBs
33-34 Starting CB
35-36 Starting S
37-nickleback
38-dimeback
39,40- 5th and 6th CBs
41-42- reserve safeties
43-46 reserve LBS
47-49 reserve D-line
50- kick returner
51-53 Special Teams

Got a starting corner and a nickelback...

Got a starting corner and a nickelback...

Good stuff.

Just to play devil's advocate here.....what would you think about C-Mac's 2003 being placed ahead of his 2006? They were both great seasons, but I thought McAListers 2003 and Revis' 2009 were the seasons by which all other modern CBs are judged. Give me your thoughts there.

Also, Lardarius would make a heckuva nickleback, but what CB would you have as our 2nd starter? I'm struggling to remember a season turned in by anyone other than CMAC that compared to what LW just did......

[Haloti92]

You should add OC/DC/HC to the mix as well. It could allow for a 4th Lewis, though I suspect some would take Rex. Billick/Harbaugh would also be contentious, I suspect.

[CodyPKA]

QB- Joe Flacco - 2012 backed up by Trent Dilfer - 2000

backup RB- Ray Rice - 2011

Duane Starks had as good a season in 2000 as any other raven CB has had. His post season run that year was better than webbs in 2011. Imo

[Irish Raven]

19 K Matt Stover 2000

10 OL Jon Ogden 2003
You know I was going to put in 2000 but Jamal Lewis would not have joined the 2K club without the Oline so I'm going 2003
