    Honestly, idc how the front office is trying to spin this, this move came from upper management pressure probably more than anything else. 

    Upper management probably didnt like the guy for a multitude of reasons ie his contract, his health risks, the fact that the coach didnt like him, his weed stance affecting the team image etc.... and probably forced Ozzie's hand as a result. 

    Just think about it. Assuming we don't do a new deal almost immediately after, what is the harm in holding Monroe? There is none unless he goes after blowing up the team. It would have been better to hold him for when injuries hit us or other teams so that we could reap the rewards.

    - Rookie linebacker  Kamalei Correaicon-article-link.gif  is lining up all over the field. The coaches are giving him a look at inside linebacker and edge rusher, and he’s getting plenty of reps with the first-team offense.

    I bet he makes a beastly running back

    Not shocked at all by this. More and more like Shea McClellen every day

    Well, in that offense he's going to get targets. So, he's going to have a big opportunity to produce this year. And as you say, last year he didnt know much if anything... so on physical ability alone he put up a pretty good rookie year. Add some familiarity with the QB, some more understanding of the offense, and some more technique - he's going to improve.

    I'm fairly confident in him putting up 1,100 yds and 6-8 TDs.

    i'll take that bet (the under obv)

    And guess what? Kamar Aiken and several TEs stepped up and delivered as did other guys, and Smitty DIDN'T fall off, in fact he looked exactly as driven and dominant as he did the season before, before his Achilles gave out.

    Yet once again this has nothing to do with Perriman! In the 2014 draft the only guy who would've been draftable from where we were at that year was Kelvin Benjamin. He was raw at best coming out of college, and has encountered injuries of his own. Mosley was a damn good pick that year. Imagine what our ILB corps would look like without him. Our Ravens defense is built upon strong sideline to sideline play from our ILBs. Our FO knows this, and rightly saw that Mosley is going to be a star in this league.  

    The point is this. FO did the best they could in '14, and IMO picked one of the best guys available who fit a need. Breshad Perriman looked like a fine prospect out of college in '15. He still has all the tools to succeed given a clean bill of health. The knee injuries will not affect his straight line speed at his age, and what he needs at this critical point in his career is a fan base that backs him up instead of calling for his head.

    Aiken is mediocre. You throw anyone enough balls, they will catch them. That's what Aiken is. 

    Who cares how Smitty looked before his leg gave out. The only thing that matters is how he is going to look going forward. 

    Half our TE's are injured and/or unproven. Not to mention we don't even know if Trestman will make use of them (not in his history). Gilmore is coming off injury, pitta is coming off injury, boyle is suspended. Max Williams underwhelmed which is why we signed Ben Watson. All of that suggests to me that Ozzie wasn't too thrilled about our prospects at the position. 

    I don't have any problem with the 14 draft. If you weren't getting a game changing wideout, you shouldn't take one. Plain and simple.

    we traded for boldin who pretty much had every single one of these concerns and it turned out ok. 

     

    i think i would offer a 4th and 5th for DT, hes got quuestion marks but the guy has produced a lot and has shown big play ability for years.

    See thats too rich for my blood. You project the future. You dont pay the past.

    alshon jeffery could also be a placeholder for any higher end wr who is a possible trade target. i think youre putting too much emphasis on the "who" rather than the "what"

    Trading is generally a bad idea. They just dont work out often. If you want a target that is more plausible, how about Demaryius Thomas. You can make the argument that the Broncos may have overpaid him and want out of the deal, but would you really want DT given his struggle with drops, age, and uncertainty to how talented he truly is?

    No idea if i would.

    i have been so far on the other end of the spectrum regarding alshon jeffery that i have never even bothered to look into his history. i didnt even realize he had such a long injury history, i thought he just had a couple of minor tweaks.. 

     

    and something tells me that if it was necessary, and there wasnt injury concerns, ozzie would make it happen. our cap situation isnt great, but 7mil after rookie signings suggests we could make a move like this if we wanted, we still have guys who are likely to leave the team in the future clearing space, monroe will free up big money in the future, forsett as well, and if pitta ends up having to retire then there is another big chunk, steve smiths contract would free up a few mills. 

     again, this was considered not knowing the extent of his injury history. i just dont think our cap situation is as dire as in years past.

    This is akin to what if Perriman never got injured. As for the money point, didn't work out so well for keeping Ngata. The cap isn't dire, but we aren't exactly in good shape either.
