Can Perriman be our first 1000 yard rookie receiver?

[PurpleCity5]

The fact that he said the Ravens "Have a shot" just drowns my optimism. I don't know if he'll play at all.

[PurpleCity5]

Exactly. We're in dire need of WR's after this season even if Perriman is available and there's no telling if he'll even be 100%.

No way hes not 100% by the offseason. Just no way.

[GrimCoconut]

I don't believe it. Sorry. I don't.

I wouldn't even call Perriman soft. I don't think they got his injury right in the first place. I think if he were to play it'd be after the bye.

It's too early to say anything but damn am I frustrated

Here's the elephant in the room with Perriman. You can't simply say the team misjudged the injury and it's their fault he's healed so slowly because all reports suggest otherwise. The recent surgical procedure confirmed the original diagnosis.

The second part is that Perriman is healing at an unprecedented rate. What do I think? I think he's soft and I'll think that until proven otherwise. How else can you explain his situation when you base it on the facts? Harbaugh is visibly irritated whenever he talks about it. His irritation isn't solely related to frustration because he's asked the same question all the time. His frustration is also due to evident irritation that Perriman isn't on the field. I won't read into the cause of that.

I just think he's soft. All the evidence supports it. Someone else in this thread mentioned how other teams are dealing with injuries to their first round picks but nobody is concerned that those guys are busts. Here's the difference: there's no rookie who's out due to a non season ending injury. Perriman isn't playing and his injury isn't season ending. Kevin White had a season ending injury.

Perriman is soft until he gets on that field and proves otherwise.

Agreed.

 

When Kevin White got injured it was known he would be out for the year.

 

I've never heard of a sprained (not torn, SPRAINED) PCL that takes months to heal.

[GrimCoconut]

A sprain is still a tear but it's not considered significant. I do agree with you, though. Just wanted to clarify that.

[Tru11]

i think that osgood-schlatter disease is what is slowing down his progression.

 

from what i read its a disease that effect his knees and on its own can be very painful doing nothing in particular.

 

now add a sprained PCL and then later on a set back in the recovery and well it might take longer to recover.

 

he has played through the disease but probably cant do much with that sprained PCL on top of it.

 

i think a lot of you are very hard on the guy but to each their own.

[allblackraven]

This season does not make any sense. At all.

[52liveforever]

A PCL injury is one to be very cautious with though. That's what keeps the knee in place so stability is the issue. If he dislocates his knee he could possibly injure a lot more than just his PCL.

Now this is where I start to question the medical and strength and conditioning staffs. Why wasn't the surgery done sooner? What kind of workouts and strength training do they have him doing? If anything this is a failure on their parts. I've said before that the strength and conditioning program needs to be looked at as does the medical staff. Whether you think it's a players responsibility to condition themselves or not bottom line these people get paid for something and whatever it is it isn't working.

We are second in the NFL with people on IR. The medical and strength and conditioning staffs need to be looked at.

[PurpleCity5]

I don't wanna call Perriman soft, but I surely question his toughness.

[balfan23]

And we are not the only Team who lost the first round pick… Kevin White from the Bears is still out, D. Fowler  is out for the year … it happens in sports! At least he didn`t get hurt because he did something stupid! He got hurt in training camp and again at warm ups! Happens all the time!

 

Just be realistic – the season is over! No need to risk something now if it might get worse! 

True, we aren't the only team with a lost 1st round pick - but there is a difference. These guys have largely been ruled out from the get go.

 

I can't think of another player anywhere in the league who is out with an injury where it is unclear exactly what the injury is, what the severity is and where the team has no earthly idea of when that player may return. 

 

After Harbaugh's initial comment of him being "day-to-day" was found to be way off, the team has been reluctant to comment on anything related to his injury. Mostly it has been outside speculation, but we've gone from day-to-day, to maybe October, to maybe after the bye, to the latest comment from the team that he has a 'shot' at playing this season!

 

I just let it go for the first few months, but to say this is ridiculous at this point is a massive understatement.

Maybe some are bing hard on the guy, but if the team gave us more information we may not have to assume.

I have Osgood-Schlatter's. Perhaps this is just my experience, but it doesn't hurt me at all unless I hit my knee against something.

I have patellae tendinitis flair up constantly but I don't make excuses. The throbbing pain can be quite annoying but it doesnt physically prevent me from doing anything and If I wear a patellae strap it helps a lot.

 

 

A lot of athletes wear Patellae straps. Here is Terrence Brooks with two

 

[omar586]

we need 2 use GIVENS like we used smith.

[omar586]

i think we just have stubborn coaches. we have givens, just let him stretch the D, so our tightends & sss, aiken can take advantage.

Flacco needs to give these receivers a chance on the deep ball. He missed givens bad last week, missed aiken more than once on a deep ball etc.

I do too. I have a brace to help keep my knee cap in place. I still run and exercise. It flares up but I grind through it.

[GrimCoconut]

I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Campanaro is pissed off at Perriman. Campanaro went on IR for an injury he claims has a quick recovery timeframe. The Ravens put him on IR because they need a roster spot, which he could've kept his if Perriman went instead.

Here you have a guy who clearly wants to be on the field and could be, but our first round rookie isn't, for whatever reason. I know some will say he should blame the Ravens for not putting Perriman on IR instead of Campanaro, but people don't always rationalize like that.

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

I just want to see if he gets injured a lot so far he kinda looks like he is made of glass. Just saying football is a contact sport and right now you gotta ask yourself is Perriman even capable of being an NFL WR being able to make the catches and get open? and the second question should be is he injury prone or Is he going to get hurt every time he steps on the field?

[Purple Punishment]

Is this topic really still a question

i just can't stand perriman. I remember telling people (outside of his actual talent) when i watched his press conference he had the demeanor of a soft player and a bust..

 

so many better options..on both sides of the ball and we go for a soft no attitude bad route runner that can run..

 

ugh please...

[PurpleCity5]

Im getting annoyed as well but I'll keep my cool lol. I refuse to call him a bust and what not but I have so many questions about him. If he doesn't return then I want us to proceed as if he isn't even on the roster.

Amari Cooper is about as soft spoken and soft looking as you can get....he seems to be doing well.  yes i know (insert your rebuttle), just stating that is a irrelevant thing to bring up

[Sami84]

yeah but anyone with an eye test worth noting could see how polished of a player he was in alabama. His footwork and route running are as good as anyone i've seen coming out of college in a while.

[usmccharles]

Yes i understand that, i was simply stating you cant judge him by his demeanor.  Look at andre johnson as a main example.  Clearly i know Cooper is a better wr than BP at the moment and most likely will always be....

yeah but dude..andre johnson was a lightyears better prospect than perriman..

 

also johnson didn't have this '' i am totally blessed..its a blessing attitude''..he was quiet and a killer in college.

 

perriman is not a football player..hes an athlete  and with bad knees.

 

 

its time to forget drafting WR"s as long as ozzie is around. Get the boldins and masons in FA and have a good running game and tight end. Ozzie has always been overrated..he's not horrible but he's not great. he must have had an awesome scout team earlier in his career but since harbs has been around..its been pretty bad..

 

 

which is why cap space is so important for this team. ( looking at you joe)

ill just address this.  I actually agree with this part, he should stick to drafting defensive players early so we can go after certain players in FA.  But i still wont write him off like you. 

[edthehead]

I just wish this cloak of secrecy would end ,, what the HECK is wrong with this dude. this injury this so called knee problem.

    seems like a scene in some movie,,, 

[usmccharles]

did this injury happen on that one play in practice when he burned the cb, caught it, and fell out of bounds?
