    Not being negative here but I honestly think our pass defense has looked bad lately. We let average QB's torch us on a weekly basis. Tannehill/Winston/Minshew. Unless Leonard makes a great tackle or INT or Houston gets a key sack we can't stop most teams. We have more problems than just JB folks.

    Turay going down really hurt.

    First two rings (arguably, three), Brady was an average to above average QB on a great team with an awesome coaching staff. He also was able to make some plays here and there, but he was not a top notch QB. It wasn't until 2004 or 2005 that Brady really became Brady. 

    i was just about to say this.....and the one thing Brady has had the benefit of is that he rarely HAD to be "the guy". He almost always had an elite o-line, solid running game, and defense...plus one the greatest head coaches ever. Those first few seasons he was the epitome of game manager. However, when his O-line wasn't top notch, he's struggled quite a bit.

    He was incredibly productive in the playoffs, and was one of the best deep ball throwers (by the numbers) in the NFL. He showed the ability to take his game to another level in the postseason, and the team would not have won without him making big plays. (They also got some help from Rahim Moore blowing a coverage on a near-hail mary situation.)

     

    Flacco was absolutely a game manager, but that postseason, he was able to make plays when the team needed them. Which is generally the way it goes with SB teams. Even if the QB isn't the main difference maker, there will be a few times every game where the QB has to make a play, usually in the passing game (duh, he's the QB). Flacco did.

    Yep, that post season got Flacco paid too. 

     

    I think that 2012 Ravens team was a more balanced team than the 2002 with Dilfer(not better just more balanced). 

    Manning's last SB with Denver and the 2002 Ravens, New Englands first SB run with Brady,Seattle's SB win etc show that you can win with sub par to average qb play. But you need a dominant(generational defense) and running game.

    They sucked all year?

     

    Really?

     

    Did they suck when they were 5-3 and people here were talking playoffs?   Did we suck when we beat the Chiefs on SNF in KC?

     

    Sometimes I wonder.... 

     

     

    Yep.....lots of Captain Hindsights....and those who generally never post unless it's negative.
