For those of you considering abandoning the Baltimore Ravens, please be reminded that fair weather fans are not allowed to celebrate future championships.
To be clear, I am not a Ravens fan– but if you’re dumping the Ravens (13-4) after their 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game last week, then you’ve lost all rights to ride the wave next season– or whenever they win another Super Bowl.
The Ravens will return next season, led by Lamar Jackson, who only a few months ago signed a long-term contract to play quarterback for Baltimore’s NFL team. That alone should engender hope among the faithful – a healthy Jackson is a commodity, who has a regular season record of 58-19.
Like many pundits have, take shots at Jackson for his poor playoff record (2-4), if you must. Facts are facts. But remember what you said when loyal Baltimore fans are celebrating a return to the AFC Championship game next year and perhaps a spot in the team’s first Super Bowl game since 2012. Just remember!
