Best in Franchise History

[Canacuna]

Jonathan Ogden. The best offensive lineman in the past five years IMO, he's been opening gaping holes for Jamal. Woodson and Lewis are both good picks too, but Ogden needs to get some love.

The Canacuna agrees. Jonathan Ogden is a beast.

Remember the Ravens are the "old Browns" so actually they should have guys on there like Ozzie Newsome, Jim Brown, Otto Graham, Bernie Kosar.

Part of the deal of moving to Baltimore was the understanding that a new Browns team would start in Cleveland and they would have the right to the team name and the history, and anyway they both can't have it.

Ogden vs. Ray Lewis. Tough call. I won't go for Woodson, because Woodson's best days were in Pittsburgh.

Ray Lewis, felony or not....

its gotta be lewis. Seriously. One of the best linebackers ever with some years still left in him. Murderer or not, he is the best defenseive player around these days.

Ray Lewis without a doubt... I think he and LT share the title as best linebackers ever.

ray lewis... great leader... on the road to maybe the greatest LB and he basically runs the team... Ray

If I had to pick a guy for his overall career, Rod Woodson in a heartbeat. But if I'm picking best in franchise history...well, I have to say Jonathan Ogden. There is argueably no offensive lineman better than Ogden over the last ten years.

wow..crazy i never saw this thread before...this is a tough call, but i think im going to go with ray. all i can think about is the season he missed some time, and they lost like every game he was out..and they were winning while he was there. arguably one of the greatest LBs of all time, and a true leader. ogden was my second pick. with a team so cenetered around the running game..he is the reason they are successful..not so much jamal. the games i saw this year when ogden was out was a dramatically different outcome in the rbs production. its crazy how good he is.

ray is now and will always be better than what rod woodson has ever been. further more ray will go down as one the greatest defensive players the NFL has ever seen.

this is a lame post considering only steelers fans repl in a RAVENS FORUM...

Rod Woodson made the NFL's 75th anniversary team. I'd say he qualifies as one of the NFL's best defensive players. Would you like me to bring up some stats?

Your post? Lame? No. Not at all. Where do you get the idea that only steelers fans reply in a ravens forum? So far I don't count hardly anyone who replied to this thread as a Steelers fan.

[RayVins]

uh, the first and second replies to this post were by steeler fans ACTUALLY...

it wouldnt bother you if a few steelers fans came into your teams forum and said "ray sucks"? yeah because that is a hugely insightful and meaningful post right? no, no its not...

so i wasnt talking about you so why are you starting something here?

and by the way, to whoever warned me... you're cool!!!
