Stop being a child and engage in the discussion if I'm wrong.

You'd also have to address how they're that high with all of the losses and changes I mentioned.

Anyhoo, Steve Smith is still really good, I don't know if you watched football last year or not, but I doubt he's going to magically fall off a cliff after looking fine last season.

Torrey Smith? Didn't they just draft a bigger, faster version of that guy? Problem solved there.
Ngata? Per PFF, Brandon Williams was the Ravens best run defender last year on their entire team. Timmy Jernigan also exists, do you not follow our division rivals at all?
McPhee? This was realistically their biggest loss IMO. I've seen Ravens fans saying Upshaw will take his snaps. Courtney Upshaw is alright, we'll see how that works out.
Daniels? They'll be rolling with just about as much experience as we have at the position. I think Eifert is definitely more talented than Gillmore, but we both have inexperienced groups there.

Overall, they ranked highly on defense with a practice squad secondary last year. They have great ownership and coaches. They have Flacco who can turn it on randomly throughout the year and a disgusting offensive line, along with at least one talented back and some promise at receiver. Everyone says "the game is won in the trenches", and can you name a team with a better front 7 on defense AND offensive line? I probably can't.

Having some sort of objectivity won't kill you. I'm a Bengals fan, and I believe we have a great team right now, but the Ravens aren't nearly as f'd as a lot of people in JN want to believe.

His sigs haven't been quotes from me and Fred to poke fun at us, but they're full fledged attacks on us that people get to read again every single time he posts. It's really bordering on absurd and I have no idea why he hasn't been dealt with yet.

Hopefully he realizes that he's dealing with someone that's much more witty and funny than he is, and if this is the kind of fight he wants, he's in for quite the treat. I'm giving him a bit more time to cool down and realize he should take that out, but this could get ugly quick if he doesn't

Rather hilarious actually.

Steve Smith is now a year older and, at 36, how long do you think he can keep producing?  

Wide receiver has become a difficult position to transfer to the NFL from college, but you think Perriman can just step-in and produce at the same level as Torrey did?  Torrey had 11 touchdowns last year and 767 yards, which isn't too shabby.  Not to mention that losing Owen Daniels, as I mentioned, will make it more difficult.  

Ngata- he had his highest PFF grade last season.  Just because another Ravens player had a better season, doesn't mean that someone else can magically come in and produce the same as Ngata.  Jernigan is good, but, same as having Brandon Williams, it doesn't just magically make losing Ngata not matter.

Agree with McPhee and I already mentioned Daniels.

Flacco is overrated and can show flares, but he's just not the consistent, top tiered quarterback that can carry them where they want to go.

I have been pretty objective, and, even with your optimistic objectivity, I'm still struggling to see how anyone can have them ranked that high.
