That he has, at least for most of this season, but Dawan has markedly improved over the past few weeks, and he is coming off of a major neck injury which could have ended his career. Relatively speaking, considering the expectations of a top five pick versus what is expected of a top 150...

Yeah, I won't pass judgment as I don't post here at all, but LaRon has certainly been more of a disappointment than Dawan.

Fine, just a misunderstanding then, because Dawan was, again, somewhat of a throwaway pick, and has actually ended up starting next to Reed, unlike LaRon Landry, who was a top five (?) pick overall and obviously had high expectations which he hasn't lived up to. He was very promising in his...

What are you talking about? When did I once say that Landry was a "good player?" Landry was somewhat of a throwaway pick having been taken so late in the draft, yet he has started alongside Reed during his career when not injured. I was just listing the top three players, in my estimation...

I have serious doubts that Flacco is going to be anything more than average unless he gets good wide receivers. Regardless, the Patriots are clearly the team of the decade, but Baltimore is in the top five.

Also, I'll lay out the Ravens draft picks from 2006 on, the "last few years," as a point of reference. 2009 - Michael Oher [OL] (2nd in RoY voting, likely a perennial Pro Bowler), Paul Kruger [DL], Lardarius Webb [CB] (as good of a chance as any of being a future Pro Bowler). 2008 - Joe Flacco...

Wait, what? If by "the past few years" you mean the past few years, then your statement isn't exactly true. This year, we beat you in the playoffs, we're the better team. Last year, we went to the AFCCG while you didn't make the playoffs (irrespective of the circumstances), we were the better...

Ravens - 13 Patriots - 24

Because the Ravens are the first team Baltimore has ever had, amirite?

Damn, I thought I could get away with assuming that a Patriots fan would be from Massachusetts, but alas, the bandwagon is too big.

No, I took the highly-likely gamble that a Patriots fan would be from Boston, and I ended up being right. Your guess was no worse, but unluckily, you were wrong. Hah, that is an Olney establishment, and as a Bethesda resident, I don't share your grief. The actual city is a dump, but the...

Sure they are, but not improved enough to have beaten the only two good teams that we have played recently, Green Bay and Pittsburgh, which is my point.

Fine, I just think that it's trivial to defend a team ceaselessly when they haven't done much to warrant a strong backing.

No, I'll say that the Ravens actually are actually heating up at the right time of the year, and not just beating up on bad teams. As it stands right now, though, we've gotten all excited about blowing out a Detroit team by 40+ points, and crushing the Bears by 20+, but the fact remains that...

You know that you don't have to defend your team at every corner, right? The Ravens haven't beaten a single quality opponent outside of week two in San Diego, period. Baltimore has certainly come close in virtually every single loss, as Pats fans know well, but the fact remains that we've...
