Quote:I don't think it's in favor of the Ravens at all.  That Veteran WR was 34 years old.  Nice of you to mention that AJ Green was a rookie (and had a stellar Rookie year) but fail to mention that Ray Rice was also a rookie.  (You also noted how great a receiving RB he was, but he only started 4 games in his rookie year)

 

That aside, Heero said they wouldn't trade a 2nd rounder for Dalton.  I'm taking it you would?

 

Because rookie RBs have as difficult of a time adjusting to the NFL as WRs do, right? You know better than that.

 

Rice only started 4 games, sure, but was on the field plenty. 140 is a lot of touches. Willis McGahee was also a better option out of the backfield than Benson.

 

Regardless, the offenses were pretty evenly matched. Your initial assertion "now give Flacco A.J.Green" would make one think that Flacco was forced to play with scrubs.
