Yeah but there is no way in hell the Rams, Panthers, or Bears RBs are worse than the Jaguars. And stuff like Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison are prooobably at least on par with the corpse of Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams.

Javonte Williams is really, really good.

feels like the Ravens should be better ranked on RBs but it's understandable since both of their main backs exploded their legs last year

however, they should be on their own tier of WRs just above the Bears

David Montgomery is better than any RB on the Ravens if you don't count Lamar. We have no idea what Dobbins will come back as.

I think that among Bateman, Duvernay, and Proche, one of them could probably make it somewhere and be a respected WR. Just won't happen in Baltimore.

I think Hollywood is the only Ravens 1st round receiver to ever make it out of Baltimore and not be considered a complete joke.

Mark Clayton was actually doing real well with the Rams in 2010 before breaking his leg and basically ending his career. Could have been interesting to watch.

nah I'm pretty sure kawalimus would agree that it's far more appropriate that the ravens receiving corps be referred to as bears tiers. Not even good enough to be their own tier of bad!

Reading this in contrast with the Watson stuff is crazy. Teams will bend over backwards to protect a guy doing what Watson was doing until they can't but will tear a guy down like Russell the instant he shows any sort of human flaw that could impact his ability to play. I also remember when Jay Cutler went out in that NFC Championship that one year in 2010 after messing up his leg during the game. And from the commentary afterward you'd think he had broken some sacred commandment and was now going TO HELL!!!! When before that it was all about he overcame his diabetes to play in the NFL.

It's not about whether he's an rear end in a top hat or not. Russell even says in that writing he wasn't perfect. Nobody is. It's not about that.

Why? The Texans knew they had a QB who was a serial sexual assaulter and instead of doing the right thing and cutting him immediately they first tried to help him cover it up and then kept him for YEARS to try to milk some draft picks. gently caress them. They don't deserve those picks.

The Browns made that trade knowing everything, and maybe more, that we do so that's on them. The NFL still hasn't punished him and is taking the cowards way out and letting everyone else act first, so if you are the Texans why wouldn't you trade him if you know there are multiple stupid teams fighting over him still anyway

Like that. Regardless of his ability, people think he's hot garbage now because he got injured and played through it with the encouragement of his coaches. I'm not gonna act like he's acted perfectly, but he's still a human being. It sucks that this sport can make you dehumanize the players so much.
