Good points wozzy.. just like to add Jackson wasn't the reason they lost this past season.. his best player in flowers was out and his targets dropped passes. But I see your points.
Lamar turned it over twice, just because the game was close at the end doesn’t erase his mistakes earlier in the game.
Not denying the TOs.. but he still had a chance in the end.. his all pro TE got cold hands.. his pro bowl WR was out. You need to have all your playmakers available in the playoffs to maximize your chances. We lost the SB in 2012 because gronk got hurt.
Lamar would have been a great post Brady transition plan. The genius had no transitionplan. Would have taken 2 years ti transition to new offense.
The collaboration took over personnel back in 2021 after Wolf was hired.
The Pats won a super bowl in 2016 when Gronk was hurt and not playing.
Should have won in 2012. Revisionist history.. prior to Drake to have a QB that blows like you say Lamar does would be an upgrade.
Ridiculous.
Marty Bennett might have been the greatest TE2 ever. Not sure they win that ATL game w/o him.
2012? Why are you looking at ancient history and saying what it? They weren’t good enough as a team. Tom wasn’t the reason they lost in the playoffs. Lamar is the direct reason the Ravens lose in the playoffs.
Ever seems hyperbolic, but he was a smart signing. It’s a team game.
Good football player, not a playoff QB.
What do you mean ancient history?? Did Brady's injury have any impact on the 2008 superbowl? Did gronks ankle have anything to do with 2012? Point I'm making is flowers didn't play he's the Ravens best playmaker at WR.. anyhow when a team is without key pieces it's tough to win in the NFL. Did we win a superbowl in the 2008 season? We didn't even make the playoffs.. why becuase our best player was out. Injuries matter Wozzy
Maybe but not too many teams in NFL history had that kind of talent at TE.
Wich encompasses how sad the Hernandez situation is.. we have been chasing for a dynamic TE since that point. But your right on Bennett.
You also know that if BB had listened to the fans they would have drafted Sergio Kindle rather than Rob Gronkowski, right?
Still, it’s better for Vrabel to follow Jerod Mayo rather than BB, just like it is better that Drake Maye is following Mac Jones rather than Tom Brady.
Your absolutely correct. Although we witnessed so much greatness for so long that.. any coach and QB will always seem to be unfairly compared to the era of winning never to be seen again in sports.
In his defense though, shouldn’t he have been allowed to compete and prove it on the field?
