Deflated Football

I've always disliked Elam. Hated that pick and I hated how the front office didn't want to hurt their pride by just letting him go. Hated what he said about Calvin Johnson, hated how he couldn't even tackle. Probably the dumbest (intellectual wise) first round pick the Ravens ever made. Good riddance idiot.

I hope not. He was so talented yet nobody kept him with his psychological problems. Now he is 33 and hasn't matured yet. Which says his problems are not young guy maturity issues but a genuine personality problem. I could deal with him when he was 28-30 and one of the best but at 33 and same issues no thanks. I would prefer Robert Woods or even Michael Floyd. At least his was a DWI that he can get over once he serves time.

Woods, no thanks. He's not on Marshall's level at all, even at this stage in their careers. Floyd? Nope. Not with Elam's recent arrest. Marshall is a perfect fit for this team. 

Sorry, @rmw10 and @usmccharles, here is the link:

So I'm like 90% certain Brandon Marshall will be a Raven based on our front office's recent comments

This is where I'm at. And honestly, I'm not sure Juice is worth the money unless we significantly expand his role. I want to see him used as the weapon he is.

I still have the feeling that the Patriots or maybe the Packers outbid us to use him as the down the seams threat he can be. It pisses me off that this guy lit up the seams in college and we don't even give him looks there. I'm not saying he'd be as dominant in the seams now as he was in college but there's potential there. He's just a good match up. He can outrun backers and bowl over DBs. Give him a chance on something other than a flat is what I'm saying.

Won't happen with the offensive mastermind that is Marty M

Would we cut Webb then?

If he wants to stay a Raven, he'd have to settle for a significant decrease in pay and a backup job, which is the right thing to do in my opinion 

Brandon Marshall and Tony Jefferson is my dream scenario with Garçon behind Marshall. Just get Tony Jefferson please!

Tony Jefferson and Brandon Marshall would be huge. Move Weddle back to FS!

If y'all are going to say that Ryan choked away the game last night, which he didn't, at least say that Flacco choked the game away against the Patriots with two 14 point leads and throwing a pair of interceptions, but nah, Flacco for president because of what he did four years ago. At least Ryan can read defenses at this point of his career. 

I mean Matt Ryan just won the MVP last night and wasn't at fault for this collapse. Blame Freeman for not picking up that block. Y'all are still going to say Flacco is better because of what he did four years ago? So sad

Ryan is vastly superior. Really have to question what went through Shanahan's head.

Agreed, and just fixed that neg for you.

Just now, MrPlankton said:

Flacco > Ryan

Lol no 

Again, it would be incredibly stupid to cut Wallace, let alone for Torrey Smith. Please no!!!

PLEASE just stay healthy Jimmy, and get him some help to pair up with him and Tavon, Ozzie

Well, off a tee in optimal conditions.

So yeah, lets not start thinking that we are going to start attempting FGs from our own territory in real games.

Just something fun he did for the folks watching. I highly doubt anyone here thinks he would attempt it in a real game. 

Any comparisons for Mike Williams? I'm seeing Plaxico and Mike Evans so far.

It's all good - Zuttah has just been added to Pro Bowl roster, so we're covered at center, no need to upgrade.

lol I'm still in awe has to how he made it. Ozzie will be content with him now

don't remember but he asked whole lot more than we can offer and seemingly the Browns don't want to trade anything within the division, especially with the bitter Ravens....

Well we should've maneuvered around the cap but we spend it all on over the hill veterans. 

Too bad we couldn't sign Alex Mack when we had the chance

I wouldn't cry if we drafted say a Dalvin Cook. I think he fits the offense quite well. 

 

I think that going after Zach Brown would be a good move. 

Said this earlier and got trashed by the Mike Mayock's of this site. What's wrong with having a three headed monster? Cook could be the next Rice for us. He's a superstar in the making. 

I hope there's a place for Orr in the organization after the dust settles. He's the kind of person I'd like around the Castle, whether that's coaching or some similar role. He's a Raven for life.

I suspect a lot of our newer posters have no clue who Ogden is and what he meant to this team.  Damn turf toe!

True. I welcome the younger (assuming) fans though like I'm sure you do.

Healthy Joe, an All Pro Stanley, Breshad becoming a household name 

Don't know if this has been posted in the thread yet, but Orr is honestly an amazing person:

I don't know much about Foster as I don't watch Bama football, but I've read he's the second coming of Kuechly. How true is that statement?
