There is no better landing spot for Brandon Marshall than the Baltimore Ravens. Hopefully he comes across this post and it sells him on the fit. If not, let me sell you:
Brandon Marshall is a fiery player who wants to win. Baltimore may be down, but it is still one of the top franchises in the National Football League. Winning is possible here. The Ravens have won two Super Bowls and have only been around since 1996. John Harbaugh is a proven winner. He has a Super Bowl ring and he has taken the team to three AFC title games. Joe Flacco is a quarterback that the Ravens can win with. 2015 was dreadful. 2016 was frustrating. However there are not many teams with more stability than the Ravens. From Steve Bisciotti, all the way down, the Ravens have good people in place.

The Ravens need Marshall. They don’t have much at the wide receiver position. Mike Wallace is good as part of a loaded arsenal, but he isn’t a number one wide receiver. Breshad Perriman is still growing up in his role in the NFL. Marshall would come in and be the number one guy in the Ravens passing game on day one. Marshall would be the go to guy. Wallace and Perriman would be the complementary pieces around him. With Marshall it works.
Marshall And Flacco Could Be Magic:
Marshall and Flacco would have a great chemistry. Flacco does his best when he can trust his receivers to go up and get the football. Flacco loves to empower his receivers to snatch it out of the air. When Flacco is at his best, he has a receiver he believes in, no matter what. Flacco loves to take chances, but he needs a guy he can count on. Marshall would give Flacco something to believe in down the field. Marshall and Flacco could be a combination for the ages.
From day one, Marshall would be the center of attention in Baltimore. Fans are starving for an exciting offense. Baltimore has never had a play-maker like Marshall. The Ravens Flock is one of the most passionate and loving fan bases in all of sports. While the New York Jets have passionate fans, nothing beats being in the Charm City. There is an energy in M&T Bank Stadium when the Ravens are rolling. The smaller market does not mean a smaller love for the game.
The Ravens have always been about toughness and perseverance. There is a swagger that the Ravens have always had. It started in 1996, with Ray Lewis and it never faded. Marshall fits the mold of a Raven. He is all heart, determination and toughness.
Closing argument:
Marshall would make the Ravens offense more exciting. If the Ravens could bring in a player like Marshall, the offense could take the next level. With a strong defense, and a new play-maker the Ravens could go from 8-8 to contenders in a hurry.
