Merriman Available AGAIN

[fistfullwales]

Should the Ravens take a shot? I'm thinking he is worth the risk, shouldn't demand much.

Simply, NO!!

[YYZ66]

Some organization will make the mistake of signing him, just to see him get injured early in the season......

[The Raven]

No!!!!!

He is a shell of his former self. The article said he has 1 sack in the last 12 games. No thank you!

[JO_75]

NO! Go away thread!

And it took him several years to play those 12 games. He can't stay healthy.

Die, thread, die!

I know that's what I'm saying... I wish there was a way we could prevent "Ravens should sign or Trade for Player X" Threads.

exactly the mods are wrong this is a forum for discussion.
there is no risk and why are people acting like we dont need pass rush help?
if he could provide anything at all it would be worth it.

[BirdWatcher]

What we lose is an up-and-coming young player. There are limited roster spots, why give away one to someone with Merriam's track record?

[Purple Nurple]

Get ready, folks. Cuts are coming. Something wicked this way comes. By wicked I mean these threads.

[BirdWatcher]

Next Monday ought to be a real "joy".

[Bazooka Joe]

I say bring him in. What young player would he block?

Kindle hasn't shown any passrush.
Chavis Williams looked good in practice. Where's he been in games?
Josh Bynes is IR/cut bound
We've had zero passrush.
We may still have zero with Merriman but let's find out.

He was on Buffalo afterall.

Yeah let's find a way to block a discussion because you and mod3 are tired of that subject. Simply not responding to the thread that YOU aren't interested in is just tough. Message boards aren't for freedom of discussions. They're for whatever topic you deem worthy. When did America become Cuba? 9/11?

No, the only reason I don't like them is there is no reason to suggest the Ravens could get him and there is nothing factual about it. Now I don't have a problem with these threads if there is some actual facts to back it up. Like say Schefter says Ravens will take a look at Merriman, ok fine then create a thread and see what others think. If not, it's a waste of time making the thread knowing it isn't going to happen.

Regarding Kindle, it's been two games. As for Williams, just because he hasn't been making splash plays doesn't mean he isn't worth hanging on to. You're right about Bynes.

Regardless, Merriman isn't going to solve the perceived pass rush problem. People were absolutely convinced he was worth investing in back in 2010. That obviously wasn't the case. Two years later, what's changed? Him playing on a bad team means nothing. The guy's difference-making tools evaporated when he got off the juice.

[BirdWatcher]

Before you go hanging me, I never said the threads shouldn't be allowed though I did say I wish the thread would die.

Yeah I don't know why he included you but I'm in the same boat as you, I just want the thread to die. I backed up the reasoning for not liking this thread by saying there is no factual information saying the Ravens are interested, or anything like that. I just want these types of threads to be made ONLY when there is some proof the Ravens are going after said player.

[Ravenslifer]

Merriman is done. Too many injuries.

[BirdWatcher]

Well, speculation IS fun, but I wish we wouldn't see quite so many threads for over-the-hill players. Still, that's the way it is. Monday should be hoot when the first round of cuts come out.

[Slim]

For the minimum salary, bring him !

[Yum Chickens]

I enjoy the suffering of others, therefore, I think this would be a great idea

=D

[Yatagarasu]

Pass Rushers:
Terrell Suggs (When he comes back)
Paul Kruger
Pernell McPhee
Courtney Upshaw
Sergio Kindle
Albert McClellan

[BirdWatcher]

Give me your 53 man roster with Merriman on it. I'd like to see who you're leaving off to make room.

[hawkprey]

I think we should let Merriman go on his merryway.

[cursona pirate]

I think the Jets sign him.
