The Baltimore Ravens saw plenty of people jump on their bandwagon this season. Baltimore went 14-2 in the regular season, finishing with a 12-game winning streak that will likely see quarterback Lamar Jackson win the NFL’s MVP award. But apparently, not everyone is a fan, including former Ravens and Tennessee Titans safety Bernard Pollard.
At kickoff, Pollard posted a tweet rooting for the Titans. It immediately drew plenty of comments from Baltimore fans and even a few of Pollard’s former teammates.
Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed was the first to respond and take Pollard to task for being salty.
Man please

Nah bro no problems. I just speak truth. Some may not like it but that’s ok.

Reed wasn’t the only player to come back at Pollard. Former Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs reminded Pollard he played for both teams and earned a Super Bowl ring with one of them.

For those not in the loop, Pollard has had a longstanding beef with Baltimore coach John Harbaugh. He hasn’t been shy about going after Harbaugh since his release from the team following the 2012 season. That included blaming the coach’s ego for destroying what Pollard believes could have been a dynasty.
Pollard also hasn’t been a fan of Jackson’s either. In conversations with fans on Twitter during the 2018 NFL draft, Pollard said he though Jackson doesn’t have what it takes to be an NFL quarterback.
If Bmore doesn’t make that move, he’s sitting for awhile. He’s SUPER athletic but I don’t think he has it to be a NFL QB.

Though Pollard was willing to admit Jackson is the league’s MVP this season, he was also quick to claim the second-year quarterback can’t get the job done in the postseason and ultimately isn’t the answer.
Another year and another excuse. This will continue to happen. You can be mad and unfollow me that’s fine. He’s exciting but he’s not the answer. Take your pick on who to blame for the #Ravens but at the end of the day #8 touches the ball every play. #itoldyall
