Malcom Floyd rules the world

One pleasant aspect of having the NFL back is reading the Baltimore Sun’s Ravens coverage.

Having seen these hard-working folks in person, I can testify that they do the paper proud with their coverage. One of the lightning rods around Ravenstown is the Sun’s chief Ravens columnist Mike Preston.

It’s no secret Preston’s opinionated, “call-it-like-I-see-it” style grates some of us Ravens fans that drink the Purple Kool-Aid (as Mike is fond of saying). It’s also no secret of his clashes with ex-coach Brian Billick and his occasional propensity to have favorites.

This is just my opinion, but I always felt Mike was tough on Kyle Boller right from the get-go (before we found out that Boller couldn’t play) because Mike was a Chris Redman guy. Mike frequently used his column to say Redman was the man for the job and that Billick was making a mistake in not playing him.

That being said, for the better part of a year-and-a-half, Mike has been beating the drum for the Ravens to acquire San Diego Chargers receiver Malcom Floyd. Now, Floyd is a tall receiver that has been languishing towards the bottom of the Chargers depth chart the last few years. Probably for a reason.

But that hasn’t stopped Preston from making Floyd out to be Jerry Rice-in-waiting. All the Ravens need to do is acquire Floyd and the Ravens offense will become the 1999 Rams. Malcom Floyd wouldn’t have dropped those passes against the Steelers like Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmandzadeh did. No, Malcom Floyd would have caught those passes, then killed the Steeler corners attempting to cover him with only his steely glare.

I actually get a kick out of this. So, in the spirit of Chuck Norris Facts and Matt Wieters Facts, I present “Malcom Floyd: Master of the Universe.”
