 Now last week, we went over that trade proposal from that Packers fan slash writer that was, it was pretty insane. I don't even remember what the details were. I just remember it had the Ravens giving up Mark Andrews for a tight end coming off of ACL and an unproven wide receiver and some super low draft picks. But now, I wonder like, how did we get here? How did we get to this point? Because that trade proposal, that scenario, it had been making its rounds and circulating around amongst Ravens fans and whatnot. And now we got another one that's been doing the same. Now this trade proposal, people are crazy, man. Straight up, people are crazy, but hey, I respect their craziness. I don't agree with it, but I respect their craziness and the fact that they're not willing to hide the craziness. Nothing, he may have been doing it just as a joke or whatnot, but behind a lot of jokes, they got some truth to him. But anyway, it came from nutty ex-professor Jeremy Klump on Twitter. Now I do, I am like 99% sure he is a Dolphins fan. When I looked at his bio, I couldn't really gather anything from it, but I did see some Dolphins guys that I follow. They follow him. So I'm assuming he loves his Miami Dolphins. All right, cool. But let's just read this trade scenario that he proposed. All right, it says, who says no? Well, I think every Ravens fan would, except, you know, the Ravens fans is like, we should have never got this guy Lamar Jackson. We should have kept Joe Flacco forever. But anyway, shout out to, is it PFT commenter? Well, he did the perfect impersonation of a lot of Ravens fans with that whole Flacco Lamar. Anyway, he said, who says no? Miami receives Lamar Jackson, boom, right there off rip, man. The trade is bad, it's bad. Cause you got the Miami Dolphins getting Lamar Jackson, even though a lot of people think that that he's gonna end up there, hopefully not. But anyway, Miami receives Lamar Jackson. So when he asked the question, he started off with who says no, I say no. And I think I can speak for some Ravens fans, a lot of Ravens fans, not all of them, cause a lot of them would be like, yeah, shit, I'm off. But majority would be like, yeah, no. But anyway, Miami receives Lamar Jackson and Lamar Jackson signs a mega deal as part of the trade and the 2024 third round pick. So a third round pick, two years in the future. That's what Ravens are giving up. Lamar Jackson and a third round pick, two years down the road. Third round pick, hey, you could have that, but Lamar Jackson, but let's just see what the Ravens would receive. Toa Tegovoloa, Tegovoloa, excuse me, I always say his name wrong, Toa. Ravens will receive Toa, automatically the trade. The trade is done. I ain't got no problem with Toa, but I do have a problem with Toa as a Raven. I ain't gonna problem with Toa though, but as a, no, no, no, no, no. No, thank you. Shout out to Toa though. None personal against him, but now. But it doesn't stop there. Lynn Bowden Jr., who actually, he got drafted by the Raiders, I believe, and then he got traded to the Dolphins. I think the same season he got drafted by the Raiders, I believe, but Lynn Bowden Jr., and it's not done yet. And then in a follow-up to, he called him like the next Debo, and this is, I don't think he's joking around about it, but anyway, so Ravens will receive Toa and Lynn Bowden Jr., a 2023 first, so this upcoming draft for first round pick, and another 2023 first, so two first round picks in the 2023 draft, the one that they had from San Francisco. What trade was that for? Oh, I'm trying to think, I'm trying to think, I'm trying to think. I can't think of it. Anyway, and a 2023 fifth round pick. So Ravens will get Toa, Lynn Bowden Jr., two first round picks in 2023, and a 2023 fifth round pick. Oh, I know them Lamar haters, they in the background right now, they like, wait a minute, that doesn't sound too bad, man, sign me up. And then he said, it seems like a win-win and a trade the Dolphins should try to pursue. This is silly, this is silly. But shout out to him for being willing to actually put it out there, but this is silly. First off, he said, who says no? I say no, I say no. Reason I say no is because the Ravens just, to any scenario where the Ravens would give up a Lamar Jackson. And we know we're talking about different scenarios and some people, oh man, we're even talking about it, that's crazy. But any scenario where the Ravens would give up a Lamar Jackson, the guy who literally changed and saved the direction that this franchise was heading in. He literally saved them. They were four and five when he stepped in, then they entered the bi-week and anything is possible. Hey, they could have went on a streak where they won, what, eight games in a row? Well, no, back then it was still 16 games. So seven games in a row and then they could have ended up going 11 and five. Whoa, how about that? But if you were watching that team in 2018, you knew that wasn't gonna happen. If you watched the team the previous year, you knew that wasn't gonna happen. And again, y'all already know with Flacco, man, all the love in the world for Flacco. All the love in the world for Flacco. But it was time, it was time. I feel like, and I said this before, I feel like with Flacco, I feel like the Ravens, they moved on a little bit too late. Little bit too late. But, hey, worked out in the long run. They end up getting Lamar. Just like with, I know my guy, Zach, New Era Zach on Twitter. He put out a what if scenario. He was like, what's the biggest what if moment for you? I don't know if he said as NFL fan or as a Ravens fan, but what's the biggest what if moment? And I said, well, what if Billy Cundiff made a kick? What if Billy Cundiff made that kick? We all just knew that they would've went to overtime and they would've took care of business. We all just knew. But he obviously didn't make the kick. But then he was like, hey, but if Billy Cundiff makes that kick, we might not get Justin Tucker. He said it works both ways. And I said, okay, I said, yeah, that's true. Good point. Then I said, oh, well, what about fourth and 12? What if the Ravens would've made the stop on fourth and 12 against the Bengals? And they could've went on to the playoffs. Who knows what could've happened. But if they do that, then there's a huge possibility, high chance that they don't get Lamar Jackson. Huge chance they don't get Lamar Jackson. And I told him it works both ways. So we can look back at a lot of different scenarios and things that happened and things that didn't happen and wonder like, oh man, what if? And it's always fun to think about. It's always interesting to think about because just one play, one play can change the trajectory of a franchise. Because again, the fourth and 12, it was one play. And it changed the trajectory of the Ravens. Ravens make the stop there. Lamar Jackson is somewhere else. But the way that he came in and saved this team, I was just talking to one of my guys about it the other day. My guy, oh, I forget his name off the top of my head. But we were talking about how this team, it just, things weren't looking good. They had absolutely no life to them. They were just, they were lifeless. No energy. They were looking like they were just, they were coming out there and yeah, let's get this game over with. Oh yeah, it would be look competitive. Maybe not, maybe not. It just, it wasn't looking good. And again, they were four and five, so it wasn't like they were losing every game, but it certainly wasn't like they were winning every game. They were just right, right in the thick of things. But you could tell they weren't headed anywhere. Insert Lamar Jackson, change some things up, and wow, oh my goodness. And ever since then, ever since 2018, when they put him in the lineup, it's just been a winner. Wasn't a regular season. Playoffs, we got to work on that. We got to work on that big time. But there's been a lot of different reasons. Water Ravens haven't been winning the playoffs, but hey, they just got to step it up. We know they can make it there. If they're healthy, we know they can make it there. But they all, they got a lot of work to do in the playoffs. But regular season, you know what you're getting. You know what's about to go, you know for the most part, hey, the dude is a winner. He is a winner. And he's continued to show that he can make so much stuff happen, even though a lot of times, I feel like they put too much on him, but he's a winner. He's a winner. So the fact that, and with him, he is a player that it's so crazy. You can look around him. You can look around the entire roster. And you could be like, man, I don't know about this. I don't know about this position. I don't question this position. And this is on offense or defense. You can look around the entire roster, but as long as you have number eight, healthy and ready to go, you know the Ravens have a chance to win that game against whoever, against whoever. And I remember, they've been games where I've been like, oh yeah, Ravens, they ain't winning this game. Game I remember specifically, 2019, in Seattle against the Seahawks. I was for sure. I'm like, hey, no, D-Ray. I said, hey, I love my Ravens, but I'm also an honest fan. I ain't one of them fans was like, oh yeah, we're gonna win every single game. We're gonna go under. No, I ain't with that. Y'all know that. But I was for sure in that game. I'm like, oh yeah, we about to lose. We're gonna lose by at least 10, at least two scores. We losing by at least 10. That's how I felt. That's how I felt. But Lamar and them said, nope, not today, not today. And they took care of business. And that was a, when I was like, oh, hold up now, this, whoa. Like, okay, cause I saw the games and stuff before that. I'm like, okay, yeah, let's do Lamar something special. But it was that game. That game for me was a big turning point. I was like, wow, like he, okay. All right, well, okay. Yeah. This dude is something serious, man. And I knew he was something serious all right, but that was a game where there's a real big turning point for me, like, oh yeah, he's right. Serious, serious. He liked that. So with this trade, this trade proposal, this trade scenario, it's big time nasty. It's big time nasty. Like the Mark Andrews one was nasty, but this one is big time. At least with this one though, it's a little more respectable than the Mark Andrews one. Because this one, at least they included two first round picks. I don't think that'll be enough for Lamar. I think Lamar is worth more than that. And not even talking about more than that. And maybe cause they put two in there and he will, what was he picked? Like six overall, something like that. And Lin Boat and Junior, I think he was a third or fourth round pick. But maybe they trying to say, oh, that's like getting another first round pick cause you got two and a quarter. But no, it's just a, it seems like a win-win. Yeah, this is all winning for the Dolphins. This is all winning for the Dolphins because another thing to think about too, you look at Raven, and specifically on offense, you look at Raven's roster on offense. And think about who's the special players on the Raven's offense, besides the Marjax office. We got Mark Andrews, okay, yeah. Gus Edwards, he's nice, he's nice. But it's a lot of unproven guys. There's a lot of guys we're like, we're not sure about. Not saying that they're not nice, but they unproven. So we're like, okay, I'm just gonna go down. We saw J.K. Dobbins in his rookie year. Flash, he's like, okay, this guy gonna be so, then unfortunately he got hurt after that. But you're like, okay, who's gonna be, who are those guys besides Mark Andrews? Who's gonna be that guy? The expectation is Rashad Bateman. But again, he just gotta show it. So let's see how it goes. And we expected for him to do his thing, but it's still unproven. But then you look at the Dolphins roster and it's like, oh, Tyreek Hill. I mean, that right there is enough. Mike Jacicki, he is no Mark Andrews. He is not. He is not. But he solid though. He solid, they got Jalen Waddler there too. All that speed at Waddler. See, just so beautiful, so beautiful to see. Then I think they sound Raheem Mosta too. That speed at running back too. Offensive line of sight in Toronto instead. They did some things over there, man. To really upgrade. So the reason I bring that up is because when you see what Lamar Jackson has done as Ravens quarterback with Ravens roster and you see what he's accomplished, what he's done and just the winning. And then you think about the possibility of him going to a team that like really significant, like really goes in for their quarterback. Oh, oh, oh my. You think about the possibilities of them, what it could be. So that's my reason for why I want the Ravens to really go in on Lamar. They did offensive line, hey, let's go. Okay, offensive line. Tight ends, oh yeah, they got about 20 of them. Running backs, hey, as long as they healthy. Hey, we straight. Wide receivers, we gonna see. We gonna see. But this trade is a big no-no. It's a big yikes. And again, it's a win-win for the Dolphins because you're getting somebody that is a straight up winner at the quarterback position. He's a winner. And he's somebody that's proven that whatever the circumstances are, no matter the circumstances, he'll win. He'll win. He will do everything in his power to try to pour you to victory. Even if he gotta do a lot of stuff himself. But he will do everything in his power to try to make you win. But yeah, for the Ravens, I feel like it would just set them back. And they would have to start all over again from the drawing board. And that would not be pretty. They were almost there. Starting all over from the drawing board. But then Lamar came in and he saved the day. But anyway, like we need to, the place where we need to put this trade scenario is just like the end of this video. Out.
