Ozzie Newsome has done some great things as the Ravens general manager:

The Baltimore Ravens have only had one general manager, Ozzie Newsome. Ravens fans must have some reverence for Newsome. He’s constructed two Super Bowl championships. Newsome has been the father figure of the Ravens franchise for a very long time. He gets heaps and heaps of blame, however he deserves a lot more praise than he’s been getting lately.

In Steve Bisciotti’s press conference, it was announced that Eric DeCosta would be the general manager after next season. This means that Newsome’s tenure as the Ravens general manager is almost over. For that reason, it is time to reflect on Ozzie Newsome’s run as the final decision maker for the purple and black.

With that in mind, lets look at all the things that have worked out tremendously for the Ravens. Many people point to the empty seats in M&T Bank Stadium as a sign of a spoiled fanbase. If the Ravens Flock did get spoiled with the success of their team, Ozzie Newsome will gladly take the blame for it. Newsome has done much more good than bad and fans have to remember this. He may go down as a top 5 all-time decision maker through the lens of history.
