I don't think Marcus Peters has been *bad* per se. I think that the level of excellence he showed in 2019, plus the contract, gave fans a certain level of expectations for him, and he isn't living up to those for the #Ravens.

isn't providing the splash plays for the #Ravens that he did in 2019, the good isn't outweighing the 'bad' in the eyes of the fans.

I *have* noticed an uptick in his wrapping up, and he's taking better angles of pursuit. There *are* times where he seems disinterested, but (3/4)
I don't think they're happening as often as I'm seeing some #Ravens fans say that they are.

Winning often hides deficiencies. But these deficiencies were apparent to anybody who honed in on the corner play in 2019 - they were just balanced out by more 'oh my god' plays.
