Good points, i wasnt aware of that.  According to the link below it shows a career of 78 games, so out of the 102 games he has been here for, does that mean he has only started those 74 games?

Looking at that reference, the "G" column is games played which is 74. The "GS" column to the right is games started which is 56. Adding in the 6 playoff/SB games would take his totals to 80 played with 57 started.

Also note in the "POSition" column, capital letters indicates primary starter. Lower case indicates part time starter.

In both seasons, yes. 

High ankle sprain to start '11 and spoets hernia in '12.

Thanks bud. I thought he came into his first season injured but I wasn't certain.

Hes a great corner when on the field, but missing 22 games in 6 years is never good.  Hopefully he can stay healthy and we draft a corner in the first or second round. 

22 games missed over 102 games does sound like a few too many, but keep in mind that he didn't become a full time starter until 2013. In 2011/2012 he only started in 5 games of the 23 he played although, I can't seem to remember if any of the games missed over the 11'/12' seasons were due to injury or not.

is this thread for dank memes?

For some members it is or was. I just always enjoyed and miss the cutting up in it when it was frequented regularly, especially in the older threads.

Thought this would go here nicely. Flacco was rated the 8th best Super Bowl MVP overall. For comparison Brady at his highest was 16 and Ray was snubbed at 44th.

For what it's worth, that lists his performance among some elite company. Not too surprised with the Lewis ranking. There's only 9 defensive players who have won the MVP on that list with none in the top 20.

I haven't quite forgiven them yet for John Simon

How about Jamie Sharper and Jermaine Lewis in the expansion draft?

He's not gonna give up that money and have to pay the team back part of the signing bonus received. As well, don't be fooled by his interest in not getting injured. The guy rides without a helmet.

I know I won't be watching. I never do and could care less.

We have drafted more players from the senior bowl than any other NFL team and we still don't have many true playmakers. Maybe it's time to try something different.

We won't be able to get close to the Pats level until our coaches can find their way to bring the best out of the players we have. That's the true difference between our two teams. They have drafted what, 29th to 32nd for how many years now? Yet they find ways to make no names into playmakers and we don't.

Isn't every draft crucial for the Ravens, or have I missed something?

New excitement is the possibility of Roethlisberger walking away.

Anyone know what the Franchise Tag costs will be this season? Could we get away with franchising Wagner(I know Williams with a tag isn't going to be feasible) to give us more time to get a long term deal done with him?

Here are the 2016 numbers. The 2017 numbers haven't been voted on yet by the owners but, this will at least give you a guideline with an expected increase.

It's all good - Zuttah has just been added to Pro Bowl roster, so we're covered at center, no need to upgrade.

I actually laughed after reading this. Can't cut a probowler. 

I'm glad the snub has been turned in his favor and I understand it is a chance to rep our team. If it was me, I'd tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine but that's just me being me.

Wish him nothing but good fortune with his new venture.

Lattimore certainly has all the tangibles we would want but, with so little tape as a starter is he worth moving up to get him? Our #1 & #2 is enough to move up to 8th if he falls that far and if he is truly the player you want, can we afford to spend more to go get him.

Although there are some decent receivers available in FA, I don't see any as true #1's as they are all complimentary receivers. I also don't see any top receivers falling in the draft to us and moving up to the top 5 would be way to expensive with the amount of holes we need to fill.

I don't see the sense in taking a RB as our first selection when we have so many other needs at key positions. We can make do with what we have after we fix the Oline. To me, selecting a RB in the early rounds is a luxury pick when you don't have other needs at skill positions.

You can't help but not feel for this young man. Watching his press conference, I was impressed with the way he handled himself. I have no doubt he will succeed wherever his path leads him.

if youre gonna talk out of your rear end can you at least stop purposely misspelling things so badly? youre a ravens fan, you know its not spelled "pitsberg". another one is "fur sur" man what do you do with all the time you save by cutting out that one letter? i mean can you at least try to convey your "thoughts" in a coherent manner?

Man, you might as well just try to get water from a rock.

A ticket or 2?? Man you gotta go big. Whatsa da matta wit you?

You get a bye after the London game?

In the past, the teams playing in London had their bye following the game. This past season, the Colts were the first team that chose to not take their bye following the trip and it didn't affect there play the following week. I think the NFL now will be more willing to allow teams to chose a later bye after testing it with the Colts.

I think this Dump Thread has run it's course? What say you? It's been here for 3 seasons and 2 of them have been us missing the playoffs. 

 

Coincidence? I think not.

Yeah, the dump thread use to be awesome back in the day. None of the members that made this thread fun come on here anymore.

I can't handle too many more of these sad days in Baltimore. When is our luck going to change for the better?
