00:00Oh, those Baltimore Ravens, every time you look at them each and every year to start the season,

00:06it's Donnie Wright said, it's Joe Ranieri. You say to yourself, this team can win a Super Bowl.

00:11What's holding them back? Great offensive line, great running game, great quarterback,

00:15weapons that you can deal with, solid tight ends, wide receivers that can get open,

00:19a defense that can absolutely pulverize opposing team's quarterback. One of the best defensive

00:23backfields in the NFL, the favorites to win the Super Bowl, the favorite for the quarterback to

00:28win the MVP. When do we put it all together? Sooner than later is usually what you think that

00:34happens. We all fall into this trap and I've done it multiple years. Let me take them at a good price

00:38to start the season and watch them by November, be the best team in football, and then say,

00:43what just happened in January, January 15th, January 23rd, and who knows if they can ever even

00:51get to February, which means they would be making a Super Bowl. The focus here is on Lamar Jackson,

00:56his playoff statistics, three and five, 13 total touchdowns, 11 turnovers. He does have two

01:03MVPs, but has never reached a Super Bowl. I couldn't have been more upset with the game plan

01:08than I watched them go up against Kansas City and lose for Kansas City to get to yet another Super

01:13Bowl. Sometimes I just don't understand it, but the question is valid. The buy or sell I'm going to ask

01:19you right now, Joe, Lamar Jackson will win a Super Bowl in his career.

01:27It's not going to be for a lack of talent, Donnie. We know this, but we've got a few guys

01:33in this Lamar Jackson category. We could throw Lamar Jackson's name out and put Josh Allen in.

01:41There's a few guys that we can do that with. Will they ever win a Super Bowl? Because they've been

01:46close. They've been surrounded by the talent. For whatever reason, when it came push game shove,

01:52they can't seem to get past that one guy. Oh yeah. What's his name? Mahomes. And unfortunately,

01:58there were a lot of things that went very well for Baltimore last year, including the fact,

02:05Donnie, do you know they were the number one healthiest team last year? Injuries did not play

02:11a big role on that team last year. So I could make the argument the best shot for them last year

02:18to win a Super Bowl was last year. That was the time for them to be able to make a run, but they

02:23couldn't get past Buffalo. And you can, of course, thank their wonderful longstanding tight end there

02:31for that. But the reality is they are going to keep plugging away. They are still the best team in the

02:36AFC North. If they stay healthy, he, the more times you get to that point, Donnie, at some point,

02:43you think they got to be able to break through. You got to lose before you win. So I'm buying on Lamar

02:49eventually winning one, but that window is closing quickly, Donnie. This is another, I think,

02:55Super Bowl or bust year for Lamar in Baltimore.
