How about some NFL production before we start with this nonsense...

No kidding!  Some of this stuff is inane.

Oh boy. As soon as I saw the headline, I knew everyone here would be up in arms. Frankly, all I care about are W's and L's, and uniforms do not determine that.

Why are they quoting Boyle? Did I miss something?

The Ngata move was just another example of Ozzie taking another team to the cleaners. The Lions in this case, Jax a couple years ago, etc., etc. These other teams will never learn to stay away from the Ravens FO, and let's hope they never do. That's why the Ravens are SB contenders annually, and the others are perennial cellar dwellars.

the only Heisman winner with a winning record in the NFL.

Roger Staubach?

Reed compering himself to Sanders is probably legit, but not for the same reasons. They both actually deserted the one and only team they ever played for. Sanders left the Lions hanging out to dry, by just leaving and never letting Detroit know about it, to try and replace him. Reed left B'more after a Super Bowl for the almighty dollar. There are two big differences though. Sanders was still on the top of his game when he left, while Reed was pretty much washed up as he exhibited in Houston and NY. Also Sanders WAS never heard of again while Reed has been all over all types of media for the last two years about this, play, retire, play retire deal.

You never know about some of these other NFL organizations. If Marc can continue the success Kubiak had last year and actually build on it (which I'm certainly hoping for), the Ravens could be looking for their 5th OC in five years. It only took Kubes one year to get another shot, and a lot of guys are more successful the second time around. Belichik, Carroll, etc. I wish him well!!

We essentially replaced Torrey with a somewhat thicker, taller, and faster (if anyone thought that was possible) guy. While Torrey got a 40 million dollar contract, we got this kid for 5 years at a post- 2011 CBA rookie wage scale.

I'll take it.

If anyone is interested, the 26th picks salary breaks down like this:

2015 - 1.4 million

2016 - 1.7 million

2017 - 2.1 million

2018 - 2.5 million

With option for 5th year 2019 - 6.8 million

It's a 5 year 15.5 million contract.

Compare that to the 40+ Torrey was demanding.

This is how you build consistent winners.

Plus they get another 4th rounder next year!

Clark yes. Reed No.

The Wizard at his best! Welcome to Charm City, Steve Smith, Baltimore Raven!!    

HAHA!  Made my day.  Go Ozzie.

You forgot Jimmy....  Torrey, Jimmy, Darryl, Steve... when we gonna pick up Will?

Reminiscent of the Lewis's.  Ray, Jamal, Jermaine and Marvin.  Hope for similar results.
