There is next to no one to cut to save money. Here is who we could cut and the money we would save: Daryl Smith 2.6 millionSteve Smith 3 millionJustin Forsett 2.3 millionChis Canty 2.15 millionKyle Arrington 1.4 millionWill Hill 2.8 millionWebb 3.5 millionElvis Dummervil 2.6 million Ok Webb has been our best corner. You aren't going to get a decent Corner for 3.5 million he stays Will Hill has been outstanding. He stays Elvis has been our only pass rusher he stays Kyle Arrington - he is gone . Save 1.4 million Chris Canty - pretty solid player and cheap. However we have a lot of young linemen. I say he gets cut saving 2.15 million Steve Smith - probably retires saving 3 million Daryl Smith - Leading tackler. Seems to do well except against the pass. I don't know if you keep him or just put Orr there. I say we keep him as he is still pretty cheap. Forsett - Pretty good runner. But we need to save money wherever wee can. 2.3 million savings to cut. so 2.3 + 3 + 2.15 + 1.4 = 8.85 million. And you lose Forsett, Canty and Steve Smith. Not exactly the best news. Pitta will be cut post June 1st to save the team 5 million.

I have watched Tucker make kick after kick from 60 yards before the games. Same with other NFL kickers. It is more a mental issue more than a just aim left. That is why Tucker has been such a plus in the past is that he hasn't been effected by nerves. Anyway if you are depending on kickers to consistently make 55 yarders in games you are going to lose a lot of games.

Well same scouts and Ozzie still in charge of drafting them. Arthur Brown was a mistake to draft. Too small to play linebacker in the NFL.

Schaub has faced two awful defenses in the Browns and the Dolphins. 23rd and 25th respectively against the pass. Next week in the Seahawks he faces the 4th best pass defense. I think Schaub is going to be entering a world of pain.

I don't see how you could day either Perriman or Pitta was an expected starter. Perriman hasn't even played in the pre-season for the team or any team for that matter. Everyone expected Pitta to never play again once he had the injury. So what is it Flacco, Steve Smith, Zuttah, Forsett. That is 4 on offense. Suggs on defense. That is five. Who else is on IR that would be starters?

My thoughts exactly. Schaub has proven the past 2 games he does not belong in the NFL. He can't make the long throws he throws pick six's on the short throws. What does he exactly bring to the table. I mean Kyle Boller sucked but at least he had an arm. Bad; Schaub, offensive line Good: Defense. Actually this gives me hope for next season. If you add Suggs to the defense we have out there it would be pretty solid unit. Webb and Smith have been playing really well.

Orr is playing now and Brown isn't. Drafting Mosley doesn't have to do with Brown not playing. Brown must be sucking in practice.

I never thought this team would be good. They were awful in pre-season. They had very easy schedule last season. They lost Torrey Smith and Mcphee. I figured 7-9 or so.

Actually this season has been really easy to follow. Games have all been close. There is a lot of things to talk about. We get to see a lot of new players play. It is good to see the team trying their best every week and not giving up and being losers.

Against a terrible defense missing their top cornerback. I don't think he played all that well.

Our secondary has been playing a lot better this year than last. Problem is last year we had Suggs and Mcphee so we didn't have to blitz all the time.

The defense has played well the last two games. Giving up 20 points is not too bad. You want to force firing Pees into everything.

The Browns have had plenty of high picks in the past and it hasn't done them a bit of good.

If the officials hadn't screwed up in the Jacksonville game we would have had 4 straight wins and would be 5-6 with a decent shot of the playoffs.

You forgot Aiken. Really the team was doing pretty poorly when all the starters on offense were playing.

The guy wasn't even drafted and wasn't on the team in pre-season. I don't see how you see that about a guy who was on the team a total of six days.

If the team wins three more games that means it is because the team is playing better. That means our players aren't as bad as we thought and with better health next year we could be in the fight for a playoff spot.

I don't see how you can we are screwed if he messed up in the draft. If he does we will be back drafting at the top again next year. Ozzie might not be around to do the drafting though.

I want us to win as many games as possible. Because if we win say 3 or 4 more games it will mean the players we have remaining are better than we thought. I would rather have better current players than draft 4 or 5 positions higher.

Tebow's problem he is not a prototypical NFL Quarterback. People are so opposed to change and thinking out the box that they never give him a chance even though he had a lot of success when he had the chance with the Broncos . THey would rather sign a proven failure that can throw the ball very well. Look at Kyle Boller. Terrible in every facet of being a QB but look how long we kept him around just because he was graded well on some criteria that scouts have.

Why no Tyrod Taylor. I thought part of the selection of who you gets picks for was based on performance. Taylor seems to be performing pretty well.

Only 12 coaches in the NFL have been coaching with their current team more than 3 years. Of those coaches only one has failed to win at least 5 games in a season. That is Marvin Lewis who has won 4 games in a season and has kept his job. A good comparison to Harbaugh would be Andy Reid. Had tons of success. 9 playoffs appearances in 11 years. Has a 4-12 record and is fired.

Well Webb is a cornerback which is a DB. There are no better players than Webb available for a sixth round pick. And we certainly miss Suggs. He is not overpaid at all. He is injured. If he weren't he would be a disruptive force on the field

So let me get this straight you want the Ravens team doctor fired because Perriman should have been put on IR long ago so we wouldn't have to put other injured players on IR who are not much better than practice squad players? I think those guys would have ended up on IR even if Perriman was on IR all season. Like I said some people are grasping for straws.
