the need for a WR is a red herring

If you need elite pro bowl lineman at every position on the line, you scheme or players aren't very good.

Pass rush is by far the biggest issue

I agree that pass rush is the biggest need but Oline is definitely a concerning #2 behind pass rush. No one is saying they need a pro bowler at every position but the interior of the oline was a disaster. The center could not even snap the ball to the QB. I am ok with having the guys we have compete for the open Guard spots but the Ravens need a Center in bad way. It also would not hurt to bring in a good guard either.

When you are never under center , I think you are always going to have some bad snaps especially in bad weather (New England). QB needs to be under center once in a while

I like the sound of this. Booyah!

Agreed.

And waayyy off topic but I think being under center is good for developing a QB's rhythm in the 3-5-7 step passing game.
Undercenter play-action is a good building block to ingrain disciplined (3-5-7) dropback footwork.

“Reduce dropped passes”. Is that all we have to do you say?

I don’t understand it either.

After the Super Bowl: “See! It’s all about the pass rush”. Nevermind the talent that Brady was throwing to as he calmly dropped 30.

So, how do we reduce dropped passes without getting better WRs?

I agree with others when the pass rush and offensive line needs help, but so does wide receiver on this team. Lamar can improve his passing, the o-line can return to form with Stanley (and other new additions) and the pass rush can become less dependent on blitzing.

But all of those improvements go out the window, if in the last drive of a playoff game a mediocre Ravens WR runs a wrong route or drops a catchable ball resulting in yet another playoff exit.
