Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The Ravens will never win a championship with their style of offense.
The general theory behind this is that to win in today’s NFL, with all of the modern rules that skew things towards aerial offensive fireworks, a team must win by throwing the ball. And they can’t just be effective moving the chains with passes, either —they must have targets who are speedy outside receivers who can take a slant and go 80 yards at a moment’s notice, or big-bodied possession receivers who can win on contested balls downfield or in the red zone.
