Will the Ravens win a chip with Lamar? I don’t think so. They need to rebuild their defense, and I’m not sure Harbaugh is as good as some think. In fact, I think Harbaugh has been overrated.
Harbaugh lucked out with Ray Lewis and that monstrosity of a defense back then.
His team hasn't sniffed past the divisional rounds since their Superbowl run
Which is actually pretty common, especially when you don't have a top 5 QB on the roster. Seattle is right there and they even had arguably a top 5 QB and haven't been past the divisional round since the back-to-back Superbowls. Pittsburgh, just 1 conference championship game appearance since they lost the 2010 Super Bowl and they had a HOF QB every single season until this year. Denver hasn't even made the playoffs since they won the Super Bowl in 2015. Tampa Bay since they won the Super Bowl in 2002 had just 2 wild card appearances before Brady took them back to the Super Bowl. Indianapolis had just 1 conference game appearance since losing the 2009 Super Bowl and that was with Manning or Luck pretty much every year. That Super Bowl the Saints won, they also had just 1 conference game appearance after it and that is with Sean Payton coaching and Drew Brees at QB just about every year.
Brady was so good for so long, I think it created this weird unrealistic expectation of what teams were supposed to be, especially given he took way less money than the other top tier QB's. Most teams don't find sustained success like that, especially after they have to pay their QB's. We will see if the Chiefs and Mahomes can keep it up now that Mahomes is getting paid. The Bills, like the Ravens, have 1 more year before the mega QB contract kicks in.
