well if you want to be technical, the ravens are an expansion franchise with the old cleveland roster, the "cleveland browns' were deactivated as a franchise, and reinstated a few years later with a new roster.

MrPryck2U said:Baltimore didn't take anyone's team. Cleveland lost their team. Art Model wanted a new stadium for his Browns and Cleveland wouldn't give it to him so he left. Cleveland made a bad move because the Browns had a loyal fan base and they had given new facilities to the Cavs and Indians who were not pulling in the dough like the Browns were in their shitty old stadium. At least Model was straight up with the city and told them he was leaving. Colts owner, Robert Irsay, on the other hand, snuck out of town like a thief in the night.

Reid's playcalling is always 50/50, McNabb seeks glory and always audibles to high risk passes in obvious running downs just to try and make the one big play like he had against Dallas a few years back on MNF to see himself on Sportscenter the next day and hope for a shot at an Espy, and an increase in salary from Campbell's for Chunky Sirloin Burger ads.toscano said:
Eagles w. McNabb: 60-65% throw
Eagles w. Garcia: 50% throw
There was never any balance in the offense until McNabb went down, give Garcia the same playbook as McNabb and he goes 1-5

Garcia on the other hand tries to execute the game plan at hand and wants to win.

zoney! said:If it was public money....this move is NO different than the Colts (or Rams, or Oilers/Titans, or Raiders, or Cardinals). They all had owners that ran off with their franchise to a new city after the "new" city ponied up a new stadium.
MrPryck2U said:But, at the very least, Model mentioned the team's departure where as Irsay didn't and escaped over night to Indy.
dpmlk said:Going to the RAVENS and Indy (we can't even bear to call them the Colts) game.
MrPryck2U said:Model owned the team. They couldn't stop him. Even the NFL couldn't stop him.
