The new statue, which sits outside Gate A of the Raven's M&T Bank Stadium, depicts Lewis in the middle of his famous pregame scream. It is located side by side with the Johnny Unitas statue, which was moved to make room for the Ray Lewis statue (now Unitas is on left, Lewis on right). Both statues were made by the same artist

Johnny Unitas played for the Baltimore Colts 1956-1972

The Colts' last seaaon in Baltimore was 1983, then they moved to Indianapolis

The Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996, and were renamed the Ravens. The first two seasons in Baltimore, the Ravens played in the same stadium that Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts did (1996 and 1997). Since then, that stadium was unoccupied and demolished over a ten-month period beginning in 2001

In 1998, the Ravens began playing in their current stadium which is 5 miles away from where the old stadium was. The new stadium was built from 1996-1998.

Ed Reed doesn't get a statue (at least not yet) because he didn't start playing there until 2002, while Lewis had been there since 1996 (Reed was drafted #24 overall, Lewis #26 overall) and Lewis won two Super Bowls to one for Reed and Lewis was twice NFL DPOY, Reed once. They both played for Baltimore until 2012, when they won their only Super Bowl together

Ray Lewis before Ed Reed arrived, 1996-2001:

-5x Pro Bowl (97, 98, 99, 00, 01)

-5x All Pro (2ndT 97; 1stT 98, 99, 00, 01)

-1x NFL DPOY (00)

-1x Super Bowl MVP (00)

Ed Reed and Ray Lewis Together, 2002-2012:

LEWIS

-8x Pro Bowl (03-04, 06-11)

-5x All Pro (1stT 03, 04, 08, 09; 2ndT 10)

-1x NFL DPOY (03)

REED

-9x Pro Bowl (03-04, 06-12)

-8x All Pro (1stT 03-04, 06-08, 10; 2ndT 09, 11)

-1x NFL DPOY (04)

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
