I agree about the Ravens quothing "Nevermore" after this season....
On a thread I started that went absolutely nowhere, I crunched the numbers for Flacco's dependence on Steve Smith Sr.
Flacco has targeted him on 63% of his throws to WRs this season. Smith is 36 and plans to retire. The rest of the Baltimore WRs contributed just 40 combined yards last Sunday.
They're not developing anyone currently---no big 6'4" guys with 4.6 speed, right?---so what happens next year? Draft? FA?
Also they went outside the organization and poached a former Patriots DC. I don't see dividends from that hire. Can he be sustained after a start like this, where the Ratbirds are 29th against the pass after 3 weeks?
Then there's Justin Forsette, who is down 2.0 ypc so far this season. After three games, they're 28th in the league rushing.
Is it just me, or do the Ratbirds smell cooked?
