Please don't call him a workout warrior man! All that does is reminds me of Eugene Monroe!

What I heard was they tried to move up for Reddick but where did this moving up for a WR come up? Was it just speculation that if they moved up to get one of those receivers then it would cost this much, yada yada??

I read that article @bioLarzen and disagreed with Tony Lombardi's point of view.

So help me understand this. It isn't about money but it was about time resources spent on moderating the boards? There is something in these two remarks that seems contradictory to me. Couldn't more of these resources be hired if it wasn't about the money?

If trading up for a WR was so seriously considered, it baffles me as to the reason they didn't select a top 5-10 talent in the best receiving TE to come out in the past several years - OJ Howard. He would be a great move the chains TE and a mismatch on gameday. He would also be a huge upgrade on our oft injured TE group.

Let me be brief. Most of what I feel has already been articulated pretty well by several people. To me why this site worked for many of us was simply the moderation involved in keeping the conversation civil and curtailing excessive trolling. That helped make this board very intellectually stimulating, educational and a whole lot of fun. Most of us have never met each other or perhaps never will. But, we can't deny that there was a kinship formed that isn't easy to erase (at least for me). Now, there is no substitute for that readily available for us to migrate to. Facebook and other social media websites are despicable in the content and exchanges. It is not a replacement for genuine fans of a ball club. That is what makes this closure so baffling to me. Sorry didn't end up brief.

Been there, said that and been ignored.

Eric Weddle, Tony Jefferson, Jimmy Smith, Brandon Carr/Marlon Humphrey and at slot corner Tavon Young! How's that for optimism?

I would try out different sites including the ones set up by @BOLDnPurPnBlacK and @purpleflock.com. However, I caution you to use an email generated solely for this purpose as the sites may not immediately be secure, but as long as you use aliases and don't divulge any private information about yourself, you should be fine. I use Russel Street report but not their discussion boards. So, get a feel for these boards and stick with one that you feel gives you the most value.

It is a no brainer that he expects it but again he expects great things from the Ravens every season. Now I don't think it is his job to expect great things but in fact it is his job to deliver greatness. I think he just said it without much thought. He is going to be held accountable for the Ravens greatness this year. He'll be lauded if we go deep into the playoffs and will be vilified if we underperform.

Well we know that there can be no more 4th quarter lapses from the defense. To me rankings are meaningless. Unless they take into account the number of saves a defense has had. If you can't save a lead, I really don't care where we are ranked statistically. So Mr. Pees, don't worry about rankings and instead just worry about not letting the opposition score in the 4th and no more easy TDs.

Concur!

Thorough gentleman indeed. Nice man inside and out. Good luck to you Justin!

For Carter to say those things is understandable because he gets paid to visit and speak. However, in reality it has much less to do with second chances than getting high value talent at low price points. Also, second contracts are much cheaper as well. That is all the moral rationale the owner is using. Everything else is pure make up to cover an ugly franchise.

How is Correa any different than Maxx given he is a second round pick as well and is coming into his sophomore season?
