He does alot of radio/media intereaction here in bmore and he’s certaintly not the idiot all the non-Raven’s fans are claiming he is.

He’s not a household name, even though every one in the NFL knows who he is. This guy won’t even go to interviews for GM posistions, I don’t know how many teams he’s spurned recently but it is a lot. It’s nice to see loyalty to an organization like that.

from Scientific American:

Years in the Gregorian calendar, are counted from the year A.D.1. There was no year 0. Before A.D.1 came the year B.C.1. Thus, the first century ran for 100 years from A.D.1 until the end of A.D. 100; the first millennium, from A.D.1 until the end of A.D. 1000; and so the last millennium did not end until December 31, A.D. 2000.

The Ravens last won the Super Bowl in the 1999-2000 Season…therefore…

…he Ravens have not won a Super Bowl in this new century. Duh!

______________________________

They won in the 2000-2001 season….

Nice try to recover after putting your foot in your mouth with a stupid comment. Next time just say decade.

Clearly, he is one of the top men in the league…

I was merely reacting to the statement that the Ravens front office was the best in the league “hands down.”

Kevin Colbert puts just as many players in the Pro Bowl…AND…went to the Super Bowm 3 times…AND…won two of them… [and had a 15-1 record one other year]

So, the “hands down” comment in silly on every level…

It would make sense to give him a title to reflect that. Good for him and good for the Ravens to have that kind of continuity already lined up.

You might have an argument if they’d even been to a super bowl this century.

Dude… don’t embarrass yourself. DeCosta has been integral in the drafting and developing of players. He’s been extremely successful in doing so with the Ravens in his career. If you want to blame DeCosta for our offensive abilities and play calls to date, that’s all you buddy.

And all of the DeCosta haters saying how terrible he is, please I beg you, give me a SOLID reason why is so terrible. Go on, I’ll wait…

Trolls…

Trust me 1000%!!!

Insiders who are unaffiliated with him praise his work!!!

He DOES have a great eye for talent to the point where he has been considered the de facto GM for Baltimore!!!

If Mike Mayock is a thorough researcher around the league and he praises your work, you’re good!!!!

I’ve known about this guy’s track record since 2008 and his work from 2000 until now has been fantastic!!! The Ravens haven’t won a title since 2000 because Brian Billick and Cam Cameron flushed the offense down the toilet!!!! That’s NOT DeCosta’s fault!!!!

Don’t bash him because of Phil Savage’s disaster in Cleveland or George Kokinis was suffering through the puppeteering of Eric Mangini!!!!

Do some homework for a damn change!!!!! I at least have!!!!

So by this century do you mean 2000-2100? I hope you dont.

Hes been inviting other AFCN commentors into the Ravens threads for a long time with his unrelenting trolling.

I didn’t realize he had worked for any of these teams prior to his 16 years with the Ravens.

Not a Ravens fan, but Ozzie is terrific and they sound like they’re set for when he eventually leaves.

Any takers?
