What the hell else do you need him to do? Run water to the referees during timeouts? He's an LB.


I don't expect him to do anything but it still doesn't change the fact that he's fat and slow. McClain brings alot more to the table.

To the college level. You have no idea how he will be in the pros. Lewis has led one of the most feared defenses in the NFL since the Ravens came into existence. Including a Super Bowl ring. For someone who is fat and slow 28 career INTs seems like a lot doesnt it?

Meh Lewis just has an amazing amount of talent surrounding him. If Ro got drafted by the Ravens he would immediately take Ray's spot. Ray would have to retire.

My point is if Rolando was in that defense he'd be the franchise player without a doubt.

Thats the dumbest most biased opinion I've ever heard. We can run off a list of names that played great in college and couldn't cut it in the NFL. And until we see what McClain does do in the NFL to say he is better than one of the premier LBs in the NFL is crazy.

You see, Ray depends on all those players around him. Ro could play for like Oakland and still be the best.

It gets a little ridiculous at times. All Ray does is give good pep talks and make a few tackles.

You mean like how Patrick Willis does for the 49'ers?

looks to me like he can take care of himself without other defenders helping him tackle.

Yeah thats why he is 2X defensive player of the year because of his pep talks. But I guess you're right.. he only made a few 134 tackles last season.

McClain won't sniff the pro-bowl this year. Book it. He will be lucky to start...

That gif does nothing but prove our point. If it hadn't been for Ray's supporting cast forcing the Titan's player(Chris Johnson, Vince Young? Can't tell who it is) to run right into Ray, he wouldn't have been able to level the dude like that.

Where's your argument


McClain had a pretty good supporting cast last year at Bama.


Also the one thing that makes Lewis better is.

He has one of these...

Great college players don't always make great pros. Ro will be fine but without being a coach on the field.

I say he's a Pro bowler in 3-4 or not at all

"I says dog, why you not just chill?" may be the greatest words ever spoken in a court case.

Thank you Ray Lewis

Look, no matter which way you slice it, Ro is just the better pro player.
