Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
It's funny, in the Ravens' first years I would follow the Redskins, complain about their owner, root against them, etc. After SB35 this has been going ever down, and in the past few years I haven't even known when they are playing. It seems that the inferiority complex is now squarely on them.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
They keep saying RG3 > Flacco. I don't know how a player can be better when he can't even play due to injury.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
Not sure if it's been brought up, but I was just reading John Clayton's latest 'effort', and in the introduction he writes "...This will be a Super Bowl battle between Colin Kaepernick and Joe Flacco, two of the most unlikely competitors...".
Yes, because it's unlikely the QB that has played in 3 of the past 5 AFC Championship games would play in the Superbowl... Oh my days, the man is just a moron.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
Those threads are a riot.
I have actually started to root a little for the Redskins because I feel a little sorry for them and can sypathize with where they are. They are the NFL's version of the Orioles. They are a once proud franchise that has been raped by an egomaniac billionaire owner who thought he could treat a real team as his own personal fantasy team. They have had so much mis-management over the past 15 years on the field and in the front office that their seasons consistantly turn into a comedy of errors and their long time fans have nothing to hold onto but glory long since faded. What used to be a great franchise has become such a joke that no worthwile free agent would consider going there because it looks like there is an engrained culture of losing. Like the Orioles, 2012 showed a glimmer of hope with new talent and a chance at the playoffs. I hope RGIII is OK and not ruined by Shanahan because they sold the farm to move up and get him. I think it was a good move unless his career is over.
I am not jealous of the Redskin's history. The Ravens right now are a model franchise that consistantly makes the playoffs and is about to go to its second Superbowl. Their history is our present.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
Here's a Browns fan that would take Brandon Weeden over Flacco. No, I am not making this up.
To be fair, he's getting slammed just as hard by the other Browns fans as he is by the few Ravens fans on the thread (which I am one).
All things being equal, I would take Weeden over him, that is how little I think of Flacco.

In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
I remember those boards!
And that is one of the funniest posters I've seen.
Not only did he say he'd take Weeden over Flacco, but he also said that Eli Manning wasn't a top 10 QB talent.
And another poster said that Joe was like Kurt Warner, Troy Aikman and Eli..."better than average but not franchise level".Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: What They Are Saying About the Ravens- Super Bowl Edition
Jealousy will do that to people. Our franchise is a classy and successfully run organization that goes to the post season pretty much every year unlike theirs until this year (which they were one and done). While we are preparing for the Superbowl, they are sitting on their sofas complaining about it. Gotta love Redskins fans
