    Seriously though, how do you compare production of two guys in completely different situations? Draft Dobbins in the second and let McFarland go to the Ravens in the fourth and I will bet that Baby Booger outproduces Dobbins, who would have been running behind the worst run blocking line in modern team history.
    I don’t think that the Ravens get McFarland. He’s not that good. If he was there wouldn’t have been such an emphasis on getting Najee if McFarland were that good.

      Dobbins won't average 6 yds/carry again, but in the Ravens running scheme he will be good.

      still would have selected Claypool over him if there was a re-do.

        Even if it meant we could have gotten an elite tackle instead of a running back this season?

        In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

          after we drafted Najee at #24, there wasn't an OT selected until #39 in the second round.

            Anthony is having a strong camp. Speculation is that he will be often used in 2 back passing sets that Canada has an affinity for. I suspect he takes a big leap forward this year.
            Trolls are people too.

                He's from MD so he must be special.

                  Nice. I will say we've had two instances of a legit "thunder and lightning" pairing in 1995 and 2005 and both times we got to the SB.

                    I think the bigger question is how does he nearly have the same number of yards in around 100 less carries.
                    cool, I can see you're excited about him

                    should i mark you down as another poster on this board who is a (secret) fan of the ravens??

                      You can "mark me down" as whatever you want.
                      Truth is WE ALL KNOW I get called a homer all the time.
                      Why is that. Now I suggest we "might" have made ONE mistake and I'm a Ravens fan?

                      All I know is my support for the Steelers is twice as consistent as yours so you best not go there.

                        It's tough always being right. But, its a cross I must bear. And if someone brings up Maurice Clarett again...I will become a Ravens fan like Lemming lol.

                          I always suspected him of being a closet Ravens fan.

                          ever notice that Baltimore Raven and Captain Lemming both have 14 letters?

                            Dang...someone finally broke the code.

                            Clearly, you've learned to break hidden codes like mine in whispers conspiracy websites.

                              Damn.. all it took was one compliment for you to be a Ravens fan.

                              I guess you haven’t figured out the Patriots are the only org you can compliment on here.

                                I figured out a long time ago that Captain Lemming is really just an anagram for........Lemming Captain.
