I admit my mistake, but Newsome's legendary draft was almost 20 years ago.

Who's his last high-impact draft pick? Flacco? Ngata? What about free agent signings? He's an Elvis Dunervil fax problem away from having none.

He's good at filling a roster and finding hidden gems, but he isn't getting any Lewises, Reeds, and Suggses anymore.

Asking a team to score with Terrance West and a washed up Mike Wallace is the reason why they're missing the playoffs, not Harbaugh.

Ravens fans would rather lose Newsome than Harbaugh at this point. Their last several drafts have been terrible, and their best current player is an UDFA kicker

I agree with that. Newsomes problem has been he didn't adapt to the new CBA that incentives having younger rosters and drafting guys over keeping/signing veterans

He's made a career out of shrewd veteran pickups and having older and mentally tougher teams as well has being one hell of a drafter (I think he prefers 4 year players as well which could also explain the lack of recent draft success he's had)

I also agree that Harbaugh is not the problem. I just don't see any reason or way for either one of them to be fired, they did better than expected this season and almost got into the playoffs, and joe flacco (yes he sucks) is still only month away from that ACL injury, it takes a while to really be back as a QB from that injury
