Dez Bryant “I Realized Quick Baltimore Wasn’t the Place For Me”

**Ravensblitzkrieg** · 02-24-2021, 12:41 PM

How do you feel about all these receivers coming out the woodwork talking down on the ravens?

It’s clear Dez is talking about the passing scheme.

WR’s around the league talk to each other and I’m sure it’s no secret the word is to avoid the ravens if you are a WR.

Dez’s comments kinda pissed me off considering no one even wanted him. Even after coming in out of shape during camp ravens kept their word and signed up when he got back into football shape.

Anyways what are your thoughts?

What do I think?

I think they are all saying extremely common sense stuff...this is one of, if not the least attractive places for quality WR's who want to catch passes.

Covid year was just not normal and he certainly is respectful of the team, just not how they do things.

Good luck catching on in a year of one-year deals...

He was a cancer anywhere he went.

I can understand that, but why put it out to the media. Just move on. There was no benefit in my eyes to talking about how the ravens do things.

Agree with this, very annoying to say the least especially with free agency so close. I think the WRs talking makes it even less likely that we go out and sign a significant free agent WR so I am not expecting anything at this point. Here's to hoping that the new WRs coaches we brought in can help with the draft and improve our WR development. Really hope the board falls well and we go with a big WR for our 1st pick

I thought he was in Dallas. Was he better with you guys? I didn’t mean for that to come off as a jab toward you guys.

I'm sure every receiver realizes this when they come to Baltimore.

Dez talking is not going to have any impact on how UFA WR's look at this team/offense. It's clear watching and looking at the numbers that this isn't a good offense for guys who want to catch the ball a lot.

I think Bryant's brief remarks don't reflect well on either our passing game or on him as a potential free agent target.

You guys just need a star WR. You guys have always had a tough tough defense over the years. That’s why you have 2 SBs since 1996 when you were born into the league. That’s pretty darn good to say the least. Defense wins championships. The Cowboys haven’t even made it to a SB since you guys merged into the league and you are tied with us with 2 SB rings since 96. The Ravens are a great franchise. The Bears just seem like they can never land a good quarterback. It seems like my team can never land a good Defensive line. It seems like every team has a position they are snakebitten in and I say that’s the WR position for the Ravens.
