Recency bias against an unsuccessful front office, mostly. I guess you could blame Ron for not giving him a new contract, and wanting him to play the current one out, but given the circumstances..... it's not exactly fair to fault him for not throwing guaranteed money at a player who'd sat out the previous season with health issues. There's plenty enough to blame on Ron's crew without resorting to that.

Yeah, to give them credit, I think Leno has been a good find and Cosmi will likely be a solid guard if healthy. It sure has been a frustrating offense to watch though. So many times, teams would just run stunts and the pocket would collapse so quickly that it was impossible to run a vertical offense, not that it stopped Turner from trying.

I suppose it may have worked out if they had prioritized retaining some of the other talent on the OL, aside from Roullier (whose injury streak was both unfortunate and unpredictable). I feel like Scherff bailing for the most money possible was very easy to see coming, though....and this crew has been much to eager to cast away NFL starting caliber talent across the board in lieu of athletically talented but raw projects, taking it for granted that they can be coached up. I guess that's the reason Coach-centric front offices rarely produce better than mediocre results....

Yeah, getting rid of Moses was probably the strangest personnel move that RonCrew has made. The Trent situation was such a mess from the last staff that I can't really put that one on them, but Moses was an above average tackle whose only negative was a proclivity for untimely penalties. That RT spot has been a mess ever since, at least pass pro wise....and it's not as if the ravens gave Moses a monster deal or anything. When it comes to a lot of the regime's mistakes, I can at least understand the reasoning behind them, but not this one. Maybe he didn't have a firm enough handshake, or didn't salute hard enough?

I still think it's too early to think that Howell is the answer at QB, but he's been pretty accurate in his limited action so far, and has an arm and some mobility. Which means he'll be injured soon enough....I really think they should've prioritized getting a solid OL for him this offseason, but what do I know? Guess we'll see.
