Yeah, the Ravens are fuging up. I've heard several talking heads at different times talking about how they have screwed up the Lamar Jackson situation, and unlike others I agree. Rashod Bateman ain't trying to hear Eric DeCosta's poo, even if he played nice and deleted his tweet.

"how bout you play to your player's strength and & stop pointing the finger at us and #8," Bateman wrote, while also referencing quarterback Lamar Jackson, "blame the one you let do this…. we take heat 24/7. & keep us healthy … care about US & see what happen..ain't no promises tho … tired of y'all lyin and capn on players for no reason."

B-more may have been one of the best run franchises under Ozzie Newsome, but now you have to question if they're a model to be copied in a "copycat league."

Butting heads with your franchise QB who happens to be the locker room leader will definitely have some backlash.  If they move on from Lamar, they better hope he doesn't light it up somewhere else and they better get his replacement right.

Baltimore is cheap.

 

What's being ignored is they gave Lamar a final offer of 133 mil guaranteed.

 

I don't care what Lamar wants that offer was disrespectful for a QB who is your entire offense. Maybe use the rest of that extra money to put talent around him...

It's not disrespectful IF they are basing it on his injury history. He has missed 25% of the season each of the past 2 years. The offer was 250 over 5 years with 133 guaranteed. While it's low on the guarantee side for what other QBs are asking/getting, his injury history or other factors may warrant that to them. Or it could be that they started low, expecting him to hire an actual agent to do the negotiating instead of his mom. Too many factors from both sides to just say they're cheap. Part of the reason we lost Norman was due to an inexperienced agent in the negotiation process and Nippleshorts ego.

From what was said on the nfl network a few days ago the Ravens are paying more guaranteed money to their players than any team in the league.  That doesn't scream cheap to me.

I don't watch NFL Network. ESPN is superior...

Seriously though, if they are paying more, that's not necessarily indicative of a well-run team, even if they aren't cheap. You gotta be smart. They gambled, now they're going to pay one way or another. Plus, it sounds like DeCosta is kinda making excuses for not drafting well enough, while Bateman is saying that players aren't being put in the best position to succeed. So there is a disconnect between the staff and players somewhere.

Yeah I do not follow the Ravens or watch ESPN.  They were talking about the impass between Lamar and the Ravens and seem to think it is aboutmore guaranteed money more than anything else. Said the main sticking point for the Ravens is the amount he wants  with injury concerns they have.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
