Let's see if this one breaks the old record:

that dude only has 13 posts, i bet they were all in that thread, then he went crying to his parents and was banned from the PC in the local library

[-Truth-]

lol @ Ray Lewis coming back being unacceptable. I personally don't believe in creating leaders.

[Ravens Fan in Ontario]

My first thought when reading the OP was...

YOU must have forgotten to take your meds! Or suffered some sort of psychological break.

I would be willing to bet that the Ravens franchise would NEVER let #52 RL go to another team. I believe the guaranteed money portion of his contract is up next year, but they have some sort of contract to 2016 with Ray.

I'm sure they've already had the discussion with him on becoming the LB's coach when he's ready to quit being the "Field General".

PS...if I could...I would -100 rep you myself for even thinking this, nevermind taking the type to type it!

84 more negs to go b4 i break it Hahahahahahaha

Lol, nice reference. It's been a while since I heard that.

My guess is 101.

Figured that since we are talking about Ray Lewis, it was necessary.

Another contender for -100?

Seriously though, the Niners got rid of Montana because they had a more than viable replacement in Young.
The Packers got rid of Favre because they had a more than viable replacement in Rodgers.

We don't have a Ray Lewis replacement on the roster.

This this this. Even if we did it's a longshot that we get rid of the guy. The only way it happens is if he (God forbid) gets an injury as severe as Peyton's, to where he can't return to the field 100%. As long as he is playing at a high level why get rid of him? He's a machine jerk!

[charchboii]

look im not gonna sit here and give yall a list of FA that we should get. cause i dont want any of them but look i dont know whos gonna replace ray lewis, yall dont know, nor dose the franchise know who will. but ima say this you are never going to replace ray lewis, not even a guy like ed reed. heck the next lewis and reed type players may end up on a different team. but you kno what if anybody is gonna replace him its the guy that goes into trainig camp and says you i want to be great.thats the player that will replace him

oh yeah 79 more keep them coming

Over / under on the amount of negs?

This should shatter the record. Ray can leave whenever he's ready to and not a minute sooner.

I don't know how to respond...

Well...

there you go with those erect heads again, lol

Sometimes I'll argue something just to play devil's advocate, and to see how far I can run with it even if I really don't believe in it; but man, even the contrarian in me is saying, " smh! "

[Free Agent]

Minus emotions, Ill simply say that I dont believe that we even have an inside linebacker on our roster who is better than, let alone as good as, Ray, even at this point in his career. Including emotions, ill simply say... are you crazy, fool??

[Grapple Raven]

LOL! The OP's opinion on this one is the worst cases of "C.E." I've seen since Harbs brought Cam back!

[scrock]

I think Ray still plays at a high level, even if he doesn't run as fast, his ability to recognize plays enables him to make up for some of that...he's a natural born leader and he makes everyone around him better, should he come out on 3rd downs? Sure...but who do we have that's better

Man, im going to get bashed for this one but what the heck. i dont care.

im gonna try and keep this short. im probably one of the few people who think this but i think we should trade him or let him go. now hear me out hes been great for this franchise but its time to let go. hey the 49ers got rid of joe montana and jerry rice, heck the packers had finally let go of Favre. Now im not sying this because we did so well without Ray for 4 games this year. Im saying this cause i had my heart set on him retiring after this season and he says hes coming is unacceptable to me and i feel its time to get rid of him and create new leaders on this team.

What do yall think and be honest.

he has slowed some-what in pass coverage, but he is still impregnable at stopping the run. That, too me, is invaluable. Besides, we won't need to depend on him as much at stopping pass/pass rush when players like Sergio Kindle get involved. On top of that, our secondary will be even better next year (remember, we were 4th in pass defense during the regular season). Ray's primary focus will be stopping the run and exploiting offenses (calling out to other players what he foresees). Having said all that, with a new Dcoordinator coming in i would certainly like Ray to be involved with him as he gets up to speed with where the defense, as a whole, left of this season. the pro's outweigh the cons.

Pft, I want to be the next great MLB. But I'm 5'11 185 pounds and a white (soon to be) PE teacher. The want means jack all when you have no talent. People always say at the next level its the want that separates each player, the desire to be great. That's a crock of crap your high school coach told you to get you to work hard and cultivate the limited talent.

Players like Ellerbe and McClain have about 30% the talent Ray Lewis has, and McClain wants to be great. That will get McClain to be an above average MLB at best, not even an elite one in his own era.

Delusions is what you have if you think otherwise.

I really hope that isn't an attempt to turn a common expression into a racial thing...I'm sure you're not, but think before you say things like that.

Its not like he deserves his name spelled right. Who cares. No its not a race thing, but one should be aware of his comments. Some people do read.

Same name. Who cares. Missing the humor in that. So you know who he is then. Now that's funny.

No, not fair, lol. I think everyone knows who he is. I'm sure they know the word "lynch" comes from his name. I'm sure everyone knows who got tarred and feathered. But I'm not sure what the purpose of bringing it up was, because nothing positive comes from the mention of his name.

But it's all good, no blood no foul. Just wanted to make sure nothing was interpreted wrongly

What's even funnier is that you're from Virginia too! I'd hope that you know who he is.

I can agree with that. Can we get back to making fun of this thread now?

[AsianRice]

This thread is just wow me and shocked me how could a Ravens fan think of letting go a man, a legendary that brings love, heart, dedication, and souls to on and off the field to the Baltimore city?

-1, NO

PS: I hope Ray Lewis is not reading this......

Silly little thread...
