Offensive tackle - Great minds think alike?

“@RavensInsider: Ozzie Newsome said the tackle board just didn't stack up...Said they weren't going to reach”

Basically what Gettleman said. If Newsome and Gettleman believe this then who are we to argue?

People are addicted to that Marty Hurney post draft feeling, where all the needs are reached for.

Remember how it felt knowing that our D-line was going to be ok because future probowlers Terrell McClain and Sionne Fua were just brought on board.

Plus all our other needs were met! We got Cam! and Brandon Hogan, and Kealoha Pilares....and Lawrence Wilson.........and Zachary Williams.............and Lee Ziemba. We're set!

yeah people were generally high on the hurney drafts

 

he'd probably still be our GM if we had first round picks from 2009 and 2010 on our team right now.  maybe we would have been competitive.

If DG doesn't start taking protecting Cam seriously, I really don't blame Cam for starting to think about what it would be like behind a good oline somewhere else.

Cam is mobile and sturdy and makes those around him better. Why do his biggest supporters seem to think he's a fragile little china doll and not capable if winning without 4 probowl WRs?

Mobile and sturdy have nothing to do with it. Why risk your QB's healthy simply because he's big? You should always do your best to protect your franchise QB from harm.

 most teams with good olines either already have a qb or have bigger deficiencies in other areas.

    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
    • If you pay Bryce $50M a year you greatly limit your ability to put the type of team around him you need to have to have a chance to win. THAT is the problem. Hell, we can't win with him on a rookie contract. How the hell are we supposed to start winning with him paying him like a franchise QB and having to make tough roster decisions to accommodate his cap hit?
