What are the coaches getting paid for? It's not the duty of players to discipline their own although that sometimes does happen with fellas like a Lewis or Reed. However, they are few and far between but the ones are usually much respected veterans on and off the field.

It's not all on coaches.  Players follow examples set by leadership.  Leadership consists of PLAYERS as well as coaches and the front office. 

Welcome back 

We looking at 2000 again?!

Your remark was completely out of place and indicated that you couldn't be bothered to read what Tank said, yet found it appropriate to imply something that he didn't. 

Oh because I disagree with you my remark is out of place.  Yup way to prove the point that this mb is used just for people like you to Fuss when you don't get your way and try to talk down on other.  

In the last page or two I've seen you Fuss and whine and attack other posters. That type of posting is probably a factor in why the Ravens don't want an official mb.  It's not welcoming to ALL Ravens fans.  

It, like most online communities, has clicks and bouts of bullying that doesn't make every member feel welcomed.  If the org is trying to present a family environment guess what type of post/people don't help.

Good one! 

Are you one of those people allergic to text if it's longer than 140 characters?

Why use 145 characters when the point was made in less?

I don't use Twitter because I frankly don't care.  I also find your post indicative of why this site is closing as opposed to growing. 

Lol.  It's short sighted because you disagree with it.  Your opinion is short sighted because it lacks any depth of the discussion they had when deciding to go away from the mb.

I don't know where you believe that Baltimore tried to get Burfict...  or Adam "pacman" Jones.....  Cannot find anything on it that documents that for either player.  They've known that both of those players are dirty and have known it for years.  The only place I have EVER seen discussion about either of them is in here.....   or on Russell Street Report in their discussion boards.  Never once saw it reported by this organization that they wanted either of these guys.

Then you didn't look.

I could be wrong here but I recall it being true that if you miss a certain period of time then that year won't count towards FA. Therefore delaying the player's entry into the FA pool.  This is why Jensen was an RFA this year and most notably applied to WR Josh Gordon.  It may even apply to Perriman due to the time he missed as a rookie.

IMO the problem with cincy is that the inmates run the asylum.  You can't take a lot of those types and put them together and expect them to mature.  You have to have other high quality/character types of guys who can not just help on the field but guide the younger guys off the field.  

If burfict is your best player and "leader" who the hell reigns him in

Should be noted that Adam jones to Baltimore was a discussion had this offseason 

*evidently last offseason

John, Do you really believe that the Ravens would have wanted Burfict on this team????? I, for one, disagree with that synopsis that they might want that decision back.

I think there are enough guys on this team, that they can help to guide Tim Williams into a better situation. Maybe this opportunity is one that he appreciates and will work to improve on.

WELCOME TO BALTIMORE TIM.

Iirc they did try to get him into Baltimore as a udfa but he chose cincy.  So yes he was wanted in Baltimore

thing is find really odd is that this board is active. It's very active in fact and people are joining quite consistently, if this were a ghost town i'd understand but i haven't seen any significant drop in traffic.

 

I really don't understand the need to close this board. It's costs nothing and its being used.

if it's like the niners mb it's not free to build, host, maintain.  

The basic point you miss is that if more of boldin's catches result in first downs or tds he's more efficient.  

Simply using ypc benefits the guy who IS NOT targeted on goal to go situations.  That's not being more efficient it's being unreliable

It would be if it were a sustainable number, but you already know that it isn't.

That's an indication of a redzone specialist, not an efficient receiver.

It still shows he was more efficient. You can't squirm, weasel, distort anything you want.  Boldin was more efficient and numbers show it. 

1 hour ago, rmcjacket23 said:

Well, actually, if Aiken isn't efficient, then Boldin can't be either, since Boldin's YPC was significantly less than Aiken's.

Obviously the Ravens won't be signing Boldin. There's only one person who hasn't come to grips with this, and it ain't anybody in the FO of the Ravens...

Yeah because tds per reception wouldn't be used to discuss efficiency. Btw that's 1 td per 8 receptions by boldin last yr

Well, I expect Aiken's numbers will go up, being able to play with a REAL NFL QB now.

Yeah he'll duplicate the numbers he put up playing with Tom Brady.

Ok as you wish. Ray rice was a horrible player and a person. Had he not layed a hand on his wife then the Ravens would have cut him regardless. And no other team in the NFL would have given him a tryout for 3 years so he should have just retired then. Better?

He may not have been cut then but a performance like he had that last yr and he wouldn't be picked up by anyone. 

Now we are a few years removed from his bad yr and he's a few yrs removed from playing. No team is going to pick him up because of that and not because they're still holding the dv against him. 

My questions to him him would be. If you're adamant you can play why not go north and showcase your pass catching and run after catch ability?  Wouldn't that be the best way to show that you can still play?

No one is suggesting or demanding it needs to be done lol. I just said its not crazy to consider. Then someone spun words and gave me a lecture. 

By saying he's being held hostage you're saying he should be released.

See 2013.

Name a single skill set that Ray Rice brings based on recent game film that a standard 3rd or 4th round RB doesn't have?

Literally any skill.

Agreed. Rice was in decline mode and his last full season was statistically bad. Then you add time off on top of that. Yes he may be in good condition and still have muscle but so does Herschel walker and that doesn't mean he'd be productive. 

Peterson had 4.5ypc over 1200 yards and had over 2k the yr before that. 

People were already expressing doubt about rice before his suspension 

Ftr west rfa tag is 3x's what he just played for. He won't be done wrong by staying on the roster just because we get another rb. 

8 hours ago, Halshayeji said:

no its not crazy to pursue A.Peterson or L.Blount. But it's crazy to hold t.west hostage until we figure it out. Teams are filling up their rosters and west deserves to make a few visits before he makes up his mind. Just my humble opinion.

If they truly go after Peterson or Blount then may be. We did this with two RFAs earlier. To demand or suggest that it needs to be done at this point in time is pathetic as it's based of an article speculating that we may go after Peterson/Blount.

dont know, dont care. doesnt matter.

6th round pick is a 6th round pick. The 6th is not a round where there's any value in trading places with someone unless there's somebody that fell dramatically for some odd reason.

Those 12 spots didnt change the value of that pick in any significant way.

If you don't care you wouldn't respond. You not knowing is obvious 

6 minutes ago, riseNConquer81 said:

don't think anybody's saying that.
Just pointing out that the net effect is the same.

We havent made anybody from the 6th round materialize into anything, moving up 12 spots aint gon change that.

the niners are the only ones who actually got anything out of this deal, which is why they took it.

If released what's the odds he gets signed for the same amt or more left on his contract?

he keeps his pay and goes to a system/coach who he's familiar with and wants him - win for him. 

Sf gets a player that fits their system and can contribute by just moving back in the 6th - win for them. 

We move a guy we were gonna cut and move up a bit in the 6th, which adds value in case of trading the pick. - win for us.
