[Jfravens]

Music to my ears... Incredible! Im smiling ear to ear... Whos next Alex Mack? Sb guys im telling you.

[stone4]

i think everyone on this forum knows i wasnt really excited about this move lol but him being of my personal favorites its abit exciting, still disagree. but im not going to be negative, lets see what happens.....

[phillipm182]

Well I guess we're stuck with him now... Just hope he can stay healthy and not be the distraction that everyone in Carolina said he was becoming. So much for getting a player for the future...

[JGreeno1980]

I can just see him now telling Ike Taylor and Troy to "Ice up Son". He is the right WR for the AFC North.

hey Mink you left out the most important part about Smith that we are also getting a outspoken offensive leader that we ve been lacking since Boldin. Somebody that will light fire under butts if they aint doing their jobs.

Going out to get my purple goggles ! .... Ozzie is the freaking man !!..... Go Ravens !!!

[allblackraven]

Finally. Waiting for FA news is awful. I can now ICE UP!

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Welcome to the Ravens Smith. Cant wait to see you catch td's for us now.

[T-Phizzle]

He's as tough a WR as they come! I am excited for this, hopefully he has healthy and productive seasons with us! I am sure we will still target a WR in the draft since this class is as talented as it is. Priority #1 remains to fix the O Line though! Let's get it OZZIE

[The Negotiator]

Welcome to Baltimore Steve

[YankeeRaven]

Great move Ozzie! Now snatch Chris Clemens before someone else does.

[Rhaeiven]

"Joe Flacco steps up into the pocket, buying time, looks over the middle and throws over the defender... CAUGHT!!! Smith at the 20, 15 10... TOUCHDOWN RAVENS!!! Flacco to Smith!!! Oh wait... #89or82 ???

[TXRavensFan]

I think it's a good signing, will help us immediately and hopefully be an example if how to play on the field for our younger guys.

Successful teams always have a good mix of youth and veterans. Let's hope S Smith can have the same effect on Brown et al like Q had on Torrey.

Just realized our starting receivers are both named Smith now lol

[The Real 52]

The Ravens always go for the Smiths

What are you talking about?  Signing Steve Smith doesn't somehow magically make us unable to find a WR of the future.  This just gives us a proven option as a stop-gap for such a player.  Very few WR's come out of the draft and thrive year 1.  It takes time to adjust to the speed of the game, the complexity of the defenses, etc.  Your post makes no sense

[Ravens07]

It's not every day you get the opportunity to sign a ultra-passionate football player. That's one of the reasons why the Ravens were so quick to go after him.

[Bandit666]

Welcome to Bmore Steve. Great to have you. Time to get that SB ring. Now we need a safety, a center and a RT and use the draft for depth.

[PolishRifle]

Good and now we only need to draft a big physical WR/TE (maybe both) for the endzone.

[Ed_Reezy]

I know this is a little needy of me... but when will we know his number so I can purchase his jersey.

Ice UP!!!!

[Dwayne Watts]

#1 priority now should be Alex Mack/C!!! :-)

[TorryGundy]

This is great news. We go into the draft with only a few areas of need. We can be flexible with our picks and draft best player available. What a way to have a Purple Friday

[ozrave]

Great work, FO. I thought he'd be expensive but the price is just right. Somebody in the Castle is mighty persuasive.

Former Carolina Panthers fan here.  The day they booted Steve, they lost me.  The day you signed him, you gained me as a fan.  GO RAVENS!  Now, I just need to learn all I can about you guys. 

 

You will never ever regret signing Steve.  He has the heart of a lion and like a gazelle on the field.  He catches balls that are uncatchable and has never really had a great quarterback to receive from.
