Willbacker

Wow. This is heavy.

He also can carry the ball and he got better every year he played. Idk what the market is for FBs but I think he's worth over 4 mil annually. 4 yrs/17 mil. 4 mil sign bonus/10 mil guaranteed total. We talk bout improving the run game last thing I want to see is the FB rolling out the door.

And he'll not be worth every penny. Totally agree bout interior linemen being worth more than RT where you're not only facing bigger guys to keep the pocket from collapsing but you're also asked to pull and trap and get to the 2nd level whereas an RT is mainly asked to keep the outside pressure off and can also get help from chipblocking. Wagner is worth no more than 7 mil annually and I think that's a little too high even tho I want to see him stay mainly cuz of continuity. Edit: Sorry to repeat the chipblocking lol.

Can't believe they can't even get Juice under contract. Guess we gotta find out what the marketworth is. Sheeeesh.

One way we could start fixing the cap is to stop giving "cap friendly" deals in the 1st year and then be overpaying after that.

Hold on....let me guess let me guesss...... pancake syrup.

Cool story and yes Gil Brandt should be the 1st scout in the HOF

Well off the top of my head we got Joe,Pitta,Jimmy,Yanda,Suggs and Webb as original Ravens after their rookie contracts so that doesn't look good lol.

All just opinions here but to me a high football IQ plus great communication skills are what is needed to be a successful scout for ex a 50 yr old scout has to be able to fluctuate between talking to parents,coaches and the athletes with varying age differentials and different backgrounds. Also willing to travel and be gone from home for long stretches at a time which is a mindset of it's own Also the scouting is definitely split into regional coverage with a chain where it works up to national scout and then on to Oz and Eric themselves and again back to opinion Oz probally does a lot of film watching,talking on the phone to scouts and coaches alike but probally doesn't do a lot of footwork but depends on his scouts (who he hires). Also there's private firms that can be hired to supply data that is also acquired which I believe the Ravens use. Hopefully you find a good article cuz I'm curious myself. I'm not sure if its the rookie deal part of it but to me its not getting that 2nd deal done. We need at least 2 out of 3 from Wagner,Williams or Juice to make the 2013 draft any sort of success. This has been my big gripe. Us not keeping our own that are going into their prime and redeveloping our identity with homegrown talent. Right now I'm thinking those 3 plus Aiken are our chances for comp picks and I'm hoping we can keep it to 2 and see what happens from there.

Yeah man but we can get Sam Darnold aka Capt America. "Here I come to save the daaay"

This is very surprizing since they tagged him last year therefore giving him a 20% increase on what the normal tag would be.

Stephen needs to step in. That's simply insane. I think it'd be great if GB got him. Kind of like a reverse Favre deal.

When they get their QB is when they gonna compete and I'm so worried Tyrod could become that guy. Gives me the shivers.

Dixon was the one we got so RayRay WrongWrong again.

No it just kills me Hurst gets the full blame for that.

I'm probally the only one that thinks Ryan Anderson is the better edge coming out of Bama.

Right on and I'm totally salivating at the chance to grab Mangold. Leadership,nastiness and physicality are important components that are not measured by PFF plus as you stated how's the rest of the line doing.

Like its Hurst's fault that Joe got injured.

And lack of common sense.

No it'd be the column to the far right not the one yellowed. So that's better. Who we getting 2 # 1's and Sam Darnold from anyways? If Joe is worth that to you then why trade him lol? You totally understand nothing about the cap amigo. We stuck with Joe 2 yrs minimum whether we like it or not. Get used to it and accept it hahahaha.

Lets not greedy. Lets get David Harris for a 1 yr fill in lol. Mangold fits the nasty we want at center and Oz likes the cut players.

Its good to see the pitching starting well and the Tigers had their big thumpers in there.

I'd like to know how we're gonna get there. Its 40 light years away.

Are you talking about virtual reality? If so then in someways it could be of use with certain programming creating lifelike scenarios but you still have to be careful if a player say a QB is trying to avoid a passrush for example while going thru his reads. He could still suffer a freak injury while trying to avoid something he sees real. It would be best to keep seated while using headfakes to avoid and using a button to throw a pass. All in all tho real simulation and contact is neccassary to get ready for the season.

Just watched a vid and man can the dude catch in traffic and definitely see the comparison to Boldin. Only problem I noticed is he doesn't get initial separation but coverage is tight in the NFL anyways.
