If we don’t get Lamar a Top Tier WR. I really think we did him a disservice for his career. Not that we haven’t tried to draft a top tier WR…but in FA the big name WRs get overlooked by EDC. You have to pay to play…the $18 Mil for OBJ should have never happened…he was a shell of himself. Good locker room energy but production was…meh!

[@TUTUMAH]

@@trentlee6823that just means EDC can’t draft wide receivers. It was Lamar who picked Zay flowers and Tez Walker. Hollywood brown, Bateman, proche and Wallace were edc bargain bin picks. As you can see the best was Hollywood and his butterfinger self was traded for Linderbaum. EDC just has too much pride and for some reason, won’t use late round draft capital, to trade for an established WR veteran in his prime.

[@TUTUMAH]

Last year was a deep playoff run. What do yall media folks call a championship Game appearance? Besides a SB that’s about as late of a run as you can get. Harbaugh needs to go and a new young X & O coach gets hired. Lamar would thrive with Matt Lefluer as his head coach.

[@2smooththepodcast]

Said some shakey stuff but definitely turned the video off after that Josh Allen better than Lamar Jackson stuff 😂

[@ryerob4815]

I like the video. No way with Josh Allens recklessness running and passing is he better than Lamar. Only ball he throws better are the deep balls on 9 routes. Not worried about Vorhees on the OL and we have enough depth in the front 7 if people would actually stay healthy. Tavius Robinson got limited opportunities and still found his way into the backfield before we signed Clowney or KVN whichever one we got during the regular season. Ojabo needs to stay healthy. He had two strip sacks, one each in his first two starts. I think one got called back because of a flag on someone else. Travis Jones is flashing and we knew he would need a year or two because hes from UCONN. Oweh needs to stay healthy. Either he is playing hurt or he is too hurt to play, but he reminds me of Judon so much. We also really like Malik Hamm but we will see what he will do.

Key roster loses and a new Defensive coordinator, yet expectations go up? Nah

[@aydenmorse2481]

If Baltimore brought in a guy from outside the organization to fill the DC role, then I’d be worried, but I like the idea of having Zach Orr because I feel he knows the defense from last year. It’ll definitely be a little bit of a drop off probably just because Mike Macdonald was so good, but with the offense gaining Derrick Henry, utilizing mandrews, likely, and Zay in the receiving game and Lamar being his usual self, I think that’s why expectations are still high. They won’t go 14-3 again this year because they have a harder schedule and play a lot of playoff and Super Bowl contenders, but they’ll at least be competitive in all those games.

[@Duncan_Idaho84]

@@aydenmorse2481 I was hoping that Zay fell to KC so badly. He had a couple rough plays in the AFC Champ game but those are gonna be huge lessons for him. I hope I didn’t come across as disrespectful. The Ravens have always been one of those teams to worry about and frankly they beat my Chiefs up most of my life. The Ravens are certainly one of like 3 or 4 teams that will be there in the end.

[@Broadkill54]

They had solid replacements come in and their best players are still in the building for years to come. As far as defense goes, it’s the Ravens. Defense is their culture. They’d be a middle of the pack defense at worst if they had an incompetent DC.

@@clarkclark7687 he was, and I didn’t say it doesn’t work, I’m just skeptical about it, luckily I think Monken turned out to be one of the best. I had the same skepticism for when they brought in Macdonald. Obviously both panned out but I just feel it’s more of a guarantee if you hire within the organization

[@mikec6678]

I'm gonna humbly correct one of the things you said. You said that Baltimore is the biggest threat to the Chiefs. In my humble opinion, it's the other way around... KC is the biggest threat to the Ravens. The Ravens had the best team last year, should've been in the SB and should have won the SB... And they got even better this off-season even with all the players and coaches that left. Baltimore would be SB champs right now if they didn't play games and went by what's on paper and the Chiefs would be looking up at the Ravens. There's only one drawback... The Ravens coaching staff. I've got 4 words for the coaches... RUN THE F*CKING BALL!!!

[@MetroSportsYT]

The chiefs are back to back champs for a reason. They soundly beat the Ravens. The ravens have to go thru KC not the other way around

[@spartan5285]

My thoughts exactly. Stomped so many great teams during the regular season…easily beat the Lions, Jags, 49ers, absolutely humiliated the Dolphins, handled the Texans…only to sh*t the bed when the Swifty Chiefs were there for the taking. Smh

[@mikec6678]

@@MetroSportsYT Two things are nearly a guarantee, one being a lock... First, if the Ravens had used the same game plan in the AFC title game that used all year and RAN THE BALL, that game would've been completely different and Baltimore wouldn't have had to throw the ball. The Ravens would've milked the clock and it would've been KC playing catch up. With Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill and LJ, along with Andrews, Likely and the other weapons at Lamar's disposal, we're gonna get a preview of the playoffs on opening night in KC... A game that KC has to win to prove that the last time they played wasn't a fluke. Secondly, I've been hearing a LOT about the no fun league being scripted for nearly 25 years and, while watching any KC game last year, you saw Taylor Swift after nearly every play in every game especially during the playoffs. In all honesty, I don't give a rats a$$ about her or her reaction to what happens during the game. Furthermore, I'd bet a LOT of people don't care. We get it... Travis Kelce is her beau. New subject... Like the actual game! It got to the point that, even tho I'm a HUGE Ravens fan, I didn't watch the AFC title game past the opening kickoff just to make sure my food stayed in my stomach and I didn't decorate my house in vomit. 🤢🤢🤢 We're forced to stomach these things every decade. In the 70's it was the Pittsburgh Squealers. In the 80's it was SF. In the 90's it was the Cowgirls. And right before the Chiefs it was nearly 20 years of the Patriots. KC is an OG. Baltimore is a small market team. We've seen this before. It happened to Drew Brees and the Saints for the last 10+ years that Brees was there. I'm not shocked that it's happening again.

This is the first and LAST of your videos I've seen. You've got no idea what you're talking about. Let me prove my point. Of all the starting NFL QB's that would be on the list of elite (Mahomes, Jackson, Allen, Prescott, Burrow, Rodgers... 6 of 32 teams, 5 in the AFC alone), only 3 of them have won the MVP and/or made a significant splash. When Josh Allen wins the MVP or takes the Bills to the SB or, and this is VERY farfetched, he wins the SB, then and only then will I put him in the top 5. Right now, I'd put Brock Purdy ahead of Josh Allen along with Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow and Prescott. Ask anyone what Allen has done since he became a starting QB and you're gonna hear crickets... You're gonna be there for a VERY long time. He got in the league, became a starter and that's where his talent stopped. He's NOT as good as he's given credit for... Plain and simple

[@MetroSportsYT]

Yes because we rank players on awards and Super Bowl wins. Since Stafford has more super bowls than Lamar, let’s put him above Lamar. That’s not how this works. As a pure talent Josh is better than Lamar. And that’s not to discredit Lamar
