Overwhelmingly, Baltimore Ravens fans approve of the job General Manager Eric DeCosta is doing.
A couple weeks ago, Baltimore Beatdown conducted its first true approval poll of Baltimore Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta. We highlighted the positives from DeCosta’s tenure, the areas of issue and things he’s had to navigate. At the end, we asked the simple and defining question: “Do you approve of the job Eric DeCosta is doing as the Ravens’ General Manager?”
The votes are in and by far and away, DeCosta has the approval of the fanbase.
DeCosta is one of the NFL’s best General Managers. His decisions have continued steering the Ravens toward championship contention. He’s drafted well, signed talented players, extended those who needed to be secured long-term and made the tough decisions to let those walk, maneuvering with business acumen over the appeal to emotion.
There are few flaws to DeCosta’s efforts. His free safety signings of Earl Thomas III and Marcus Williams didn’t pan out. Everything pointed toward those signings working — especially in the Ravens’ defensive system. But they didn’t strike true. He’s pointed to his own frustration being unable to land a “true X” receiver, but notes they are challenging to come by.
Overall, DeCosta has done exponentially done more positives for the team since 2019 than any negatives, and it’s reflected in the poll results.
