    Never stated he would not.


    That said, even the elite could use some help at times.

    Doubt he ever does, will be spending too much time in the tub. Don’t know how far 160lbs will go in the NFL. Better have put some weight on him last year.

    He's probably 160 now but no way he was 160 last yr. He was more 150 ish. But he can be special. Hands, elite speed, quickness, and can run the whole route tree. His only problem will be physicality but speed kills especially when you can also run the route tree.

    That's the main point of my post..... they are adding to already stacked position groups, so when one is cast off, the other comes in with no drop off..... that is not improvement. It's status quo...
    We will be seeing nothing different, just same ol same, which is why i'm not impressed

    With respect to the Ravens - how often do we see teams have great seasons (13-3 and better), and people think "man, they will be unstoppable next year," only to fall back? How about Jacksonville after their 13-3- season and AFCCG appearance? Carolina after going 15-1 and making the Super Bowl? The Rams after making the Super Bowl? Teams that look amazing one year often fall back to the pack the next year, even when they don't seem to have the roster turnover that would merit the drop off.

    Success in the NFL is transitory. Elite success is even more transitory. The Ravens undeniably had an elite regular season last year, but there are plenty of teams who do that and fail to repeat that degree of success.

    What's that? Steelers haven't put together a meaningful playoff run in almost a decade.

    You need a D. Brees or Big Ben to reach elite status when playing wr, just ask Chestio. Hollywood won't reach it with the Ravens.

    The Raisins are in this conversation, do you blame their front office or the mighty Hairball?

    Exactly. We haven't had back to back SB winners wince 03/04. And that was with a franchise who cheated.

    Fat Andy came close. An offsides penalty favoring the Cheats (imagine that) might be the only reason Mahomes doesn't have two rings.

    I’d give the Chiefs much better odds than the Ravens to be the top seed, and to make the SB.

    No you don't. Michael thomas l last yr still ate those 5 games Drew brees was out. Hopkins for years balled out when the texans played musical chairs at qb before watson. Tyreek hill balled out last yr with matt moore. The game matt ryan didn't play last yr julio had 125 yards. If you a great receiver you can ball out regardless of who the qb is.

    Alright I'll rephrase what I was getting at. You need a Ben or Brees to put up elite #s, a QB that relies on passing yards to move the offense. I don't see elite achievement from Hollywood in Baltimore, he may have elite talent but not the right system to be recognized as a top receiver.

    Again you don't because we've seen wrs put up great numbers with marginal qbs. And Mark Andrews at TE had 64 catches, 852 yards, and 10 tds. Holly wood can easily get 1000 yards and double digit tds if he stays healthy remember his qb last yr led the nfl in passing tds.. i get you're trying to say he's not as agrat of a pure passer as a mahomes or brees but he can pass and with how hard he worked last offseaosn to improve dramatically as a passer one can assume he will only continue to develop

    Are you still playing these days? I remember you starting college but can’t remember when that was.

    Sorry for the complete tangent but just wondered.

    I don't get the drafting of dobbins. It would be like us drafting competition for TJ Watt, Hayward or Minkah. Sure he was tempting and hard to pass on but we wouldn't have drafted another QB in the 2nd round 10 years ago when Ben was early in his career.

    Conner's wheels keep falling off, just like Bell's did. Come on Tomlin. :facepalm:

    I hope Blast is right & they see what they have in Snell, split the load with Glass. Come on Tomlin. :beathorse:

    I miss Franco & the Bus. Rocky too . :sorry:


    Edit: is Baby Watt the next Kreider blocking wise?

    You may be right. Last season Lamar had 424 attempts, 114 completions to his receivers, 125 completions to his TEs. I believe he had 179 attempts to his receivers which can get Hollywood his 100+ catches. AB #s are elite, you think he can get in that ballpark in Hairballs pound the rock philosophy?
