because from 2004-2007 the core was younger and healthier

so why did they lose 31 games in 4 years?

and id love for you to say you've watched the majority of the 144 ravens games over the last 9 years lol

fact is, John is a winner. arguing that makes you look foolish.

you're approaching Basa/Trevor Ariza territory by digging your heels in on it.

Actually, Ray Lewis played 6 games in 2005 and
missed games in 2006 and 2007.

See what happens when you watch the games?

Also -- you're an idiot because Ed Reed, Suggs, and
Ray Lewis are more experienced now than they were
in 2004, which is why experience and leadership matter.

Haloti Ngata is fat and out of the league if he doesn't
play with Ray Lewis. Almost nobody denies it -- he was
fat and worthless at Oregon.

So was Barry Switzer with the Dallas Cowboys.

Reason nobody gives him credit is that no one can
name the schemes, the signature, the imprint.

Even the attitude. Nobody can name anything.

I don't have a problem with John Harbaugh.

I do know this -- his team was headed for an early
round exit before Caldwell started calling plays.

Posted by Tiger Woods, Mon Feb-04-13 09:16 AM
John Harbaugh is a great coach, and sometimes being a leader of men is the most important asset you can have. He's clearly that.

That being said, credit to Jim Caldwell for what he was able to accomplish the 2nd half of the season. They just seemed to be more fluid in the later weeks of the season and especially in the playoffs. Masterfully prepared and executed postseason gameplans and Caldwell deserves as much of a nod as anyone.
2125508, I have NO problem with John.
Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Feb-04-13 02:32 PM

I simply have more evidence that Jim is good.

I'm probably in-line with at least 3/4 of normal
people who say that Jim earned his status more
than John did. That's not much of a debate.

But that's not why you guys keep focusing on John
Harbaugh:

You guys are focusing on the John critique because
you're white and uncomfortable engaging the Jim Caldwell
point.

I understand that, but it needs to be called out.

can't get mad if somebody else is crediting the OC for Indy 2010 and the Head Coach for Baltimore 2013. Especially since that Indy OC won a ring without Caldwell, and that Baltimore HC went to 2 AFC title games without Caldwell.

you can't be selective with credit and get mad when somebody else does it the other way

Posted by Orbit_Established, Mon Feb-04-13 12:35 PM
>John Harbaugh just WON a ring, and you're giving him 0 credit

Oh, sure he might deserve credit. He did fire Cam Cameron,
after all.


But here's the facts:

John Harbaugh's team was limping into the playoffs, basically
relying on the fact that Steelers whole team was in the
hospital. They weren't intimidating anyone, were a guaranteed
early exit.

Caldwell comes in, and Flacco instantly becomes Joe Montana
and the OFFENSE starts winning some games, due to better scheme,
better communication between coordinator and QB, better actual
playcalling, more balance.

Those are FACTS. That is not DEBATABLE.

The Ravens got better the *instant* Caldwell arrived

I'm not simply associating Caldwell with the victory
because he's black and I need black people to be responsible
for the sake of my self esteem. I'm kinda high on self-esteem, sparky.

I'm talking football here, more than I am race.

And I already contrasted John Harbaugh to Jim Harbaugh: I have
actual evidence that Jim is good. I do not have evidence that
John is good. He barely deserved that job to begin with, and
few can deny that the Ravens have been good largely because the
core from the last decade (3 DPOYS on the same unit; 2 guys who
are among the 3 best to ever play their position; ) is intact.
People whiter than you have admitted as much about John Harbaugh
and the Ravens.


>you're crediting the Head Coach for Indy 2010 and the OC for
>Baltimore 2013

Actually, you're lying-

Peyton Manning deserves tons of credit for Indy 2010. I know
that he called the plays. In hindsight, he probably should have
let Caldwell call the plays, because Caldwell obviously knows
that the fuck he's doing.

>you can't be selective with credit and get mad when somebody
>else does it the other way

No, you're an idiot, because you're treating this as a simple
race-baiting case, when I'm actually trying to have a football
discussion-

Caldwell's influence on the Ravens is undeniable.

JIM Harbaugh's influence on the Stanford Cardinal and
San Francisco 49ers is undeniable.

Jim Caldwell was given NO credit for the 2010 Colts and
ALL the blame for the 2011 Colts. And so far, the white
media is UNDERplaying his influence on the 2013 Ravens,
even though its CLEAR that he had a positive influence.

the ravens hadn't won a playoff game in 6 seasons, and had made the playoffs only 1 of the previous 4 seasons

then harbaugh came in and won at least 1 playoff game in 4 straight seasons pre-caldwell. last year they were a dropped pass from the super bowl

meanwhile, the colts were a juggernaut who won a title pre-caldwell

Because coaching is about creating cohesion, implementing

What did John Harbaugh do? Name it. I'm listening.

What were the schemes? What were the moves?

I know that Jim Caldwell revamped the offense, added
balance and took far calculated risks.

so given 54 wins in 5 years, are you disputing that hes done those things? lol

>What did John Harbaugh do? Name it. I'm listening.

well he successfully guided the team from Ryan's 46 to Greg Mattison's 4-3 under to Dean Pees 3-4. does that meet your qualifications?

>I know that Jim Caldwell revamped the offense, added
>balance and took far calculated risks.

no actually you dont know that. Ray Rice had 16.76 carries per game under Cameron and 16.06 under Caldwell. Flacco avg'd 34.38 attempts per game under Cam, and 33.66 under caldwell.

they found a lot of success because Caldwell trusted Flacco's arm to be able to let the post-wheel develop, and Baltimores receivers are stout guys. he isnt Rich Rodriguez or Steve Spurrier tho. he didnt invent anything.

but keep loading up the questions to make people scared to answer

caldwell has done much less as an offensive mind, and if he is *the* reason BAL is the champ, then John Harbaugh's brilliant staffing decisions are the real reason.
