Baltimore Ravens: Cutting Trent Dilfer
You wouldn't think that Trent Dilfer would be the biggest one who got away from the Ravens, but Ray Lewis says it cost the Ravens more Super Bowl titles. Dilfer helped the Ravens win a championship in the 2000 season and then they cut him, opting to sign Elvis Grbac. Grbac didn't work out and the Ravens didn't win another title for 12 years.

In 2018, Lewis said cutting Dilfer was one of the biggest mistakes in team history.

"It took us a 12-year stint to get back to another Super Bowl. We went through, what, 17 quarterbacks?" Lewis told radio host Colin Cowherd, via the Baltimore Sun.

“I’m counting on one hand an opportunity of at least five to six Super Bowls that are supposed to be in my closet. But we made that decision.”

Did anybody get named for making that decision?

Maybe the GM or the owner Art Modell

ESPN just released the documentary about the Ravens' Super Bowl team, maybe the answer will be on it

Did the documentary that aired somewhere on Dilfer and Libscomb ever get published online anywhere?

Right... but the link doesn't take you to anything, and as far as I'm aware - it only aired once on stadium, right?

Dang it. You might have to search the high seas for that doc
