Ofc they aren’t going to win every year but until someone shows me they can beat them consistently I can’t say any team is a threat besides themselves.

And why do the speak on QBs as if one qb could stop another from playing well

[@RoyalWuun]

Molly: “It’s my Giants”. But anyway, I hate that people keep bringing up “a lot of losses on the defensive side” when it comes to Baltimore. There’s a reason why Patrick Queens fifth option wasn’t picked up. He didn’t “flourish” until Roquan got there. Ravens have very good replacements for him. Geno Stone was good at picking up QBs but he probably was not going to start in 2024. We loved Clowney but there’s a good chance that his production can be replaced as long as we stay healthy. Now the biggest thing that hurt is losing Mike Macdonald, I’ll give yall that. But inside the Ravens organization, the biggest opportunity is the OLine and not so much the defense. Baltimore is always going to be good defensively.
