[News] 'Clock Is Ticking' For Injured Ravens Rookie Breshad Perriman

[The Mom Gene]

Kevin White, Nelson Agholor, Devante Parker, Breshad Perriman, Phillip Dorsett. All First Round WR's who haven't done squat to improve their teams this year. Cooper looks like a pro bowler but he was 3rd Pick. Just more evidence that taking a WR 1st Round is a huge risk and will likely not make an immediate impact. Veteran WR's make plays and can be relied upon. That is how we should build our WR core.

Talent is developed in this league.  it's rare that you get someone straight off the college ranks that comes out and plays lights out.   Sometimes we show just how much of an impatient bunch we are.

I doubt he re-signs with Chicago unless he's franchised because of the mess going on over there. There's the Trestman connection as well (if that counts for anything) and he'll be a free agent in the offseason so Ozzie can at least put a bid in. At 25 years old he would be the perfect guy to grow with Flacco and BP but it's just a dream. I think he has a better shot at hitting the free agency market than Green or Calvin ever had. 

Watching him last night with Cutler?  I doubt he goes anywhere...  unless he gets #1 salary...  I just don't see it here.

I doubt Cutler stays in Chicago after this season though so does he really want to go through growing pains with a new QB?

That also might depend on who the QB is. We have our own QB and CAP situation to worry about next year.  I think it gets just as interesting around here.

I'm sure if Ozzie wanted Alshon he would find a way to sign him but so would the rest of the league which is why I said it's just a dream at this point lol. Still hoping BP could be Alshon and much more though!

Those teams are terrible at drafting period with the exception of the Colts and they just canned their GM. The Ravens are awful at drafting WR's and should deviate from the strategy of the 1st round home run or waiting until the 6th round to select a WR. Rounds 2-4 load up...

Yeah but if you look at the 1st round rookie WR class from 2014, I think 5 or 6 of them had 1000+ yards last year.  Last year was a crazy 1st round WR draft and they all made immediate impacts.

Hard to say, Cutler had 3 good games in a row.  If they keep competing/winning they just might keep him.

bears have 60 mil cap space next season.

 

think they can afford to give jeffrey what he wants or tag him if they feel like it.

[mckinney214]

Hopefully Breshad will be back with a vengeance next year to prove to all the clowns calling him a bust that he is a force to be reckoned with. I bet he's itching to get back on the field.

[Purple&Black]

Getting surgery now sounds right but that's not how it's gonna work haha. They'll wait til the last second to make a decision. If he shouldve had surgery it should been done already.

Sadly, this is probably right...

Yes the Ravens suck at drafting wr, but i think you missed his point. White and Parker were both supposed to be a sure thing. Some even had white over cooper. Nelson Ag. and dorsett were supposed to be steals. I'm extremely frustrated with the Perriman situation, but you can't predict injury

[RavensBaltimore]

Finally, coach is showing some frustration - not just frustration at the loss of someone who was supposed to be a key play - but frustration around the seemingly unwarranted mystery that this injury seems shrouded in.

 

I've not been quick to dis Perriman over this, but the whole thing has turned into a debacle. I've said it before ... I've never seen anything like this.

I think the reason you feel that way is because this site has done a horrible job at covering the situation. Right after his MRI, Jaminson Hensley reported that Perriman had a sprained PCL. Harbaugh said in an interview that the doctors "are calling it" a sprain, yet the articles on this website ignored that for some reason and led people to believe that no one knew what was wrong with him.

 

Also, as far as I am aware, this site has never addressed the fact that Keenan Allen had a grade II PCL sprain, and it took him about 8 months to fully heal. He has not been a slow healer since, and he's had a productive career. If this site would have done a better job at informing people what the injury was, and also letting us know that it's not unheard of for it to take this long to heal, because it recently happened to another player, and he turned out fine, it would have cleared up a lot of the confusion and "mystery" surrounding the situation.

 

Since most people aren't aware of those facts, they simply make up their own facts, saying he's "milking" his injury, he has no heart, he heals too slow, he won't be able to make it through an NFL season, and various other nonsense.

I know I'm going to get dinged by baltimoreravens.com with negative, red number ratings (we know the moderators control the ratings), but Perriman is a BUST.

If you can't get on the field, then you're a bust- at least for 2015. Also, by the way Ozzie drafts receivers, we all knew he had a chance of being a bust anyway.

Actually, we have NO control over the ratings.

[OzzieBisciotti]

I don't understand what all the hype was about him any way- he had a history of dropping passes in college and a history of leg injuries in high school and college.

'Clock Has Been Broken' For Injured Ravens Rookie Breshad Perriman

[Afchris2006]

I think the main problem here is that when a team uses it's #1 draft pick for a player, the team and the fans expect the guy to come in and help make an immediate impact on the field. The issue here is that he has never made it to the field at all and its related to a PCL sprain (what we were told) and since the majority of fans have access to the internet they can read that a sprain is not always that bad. It's not like the guy tore his achilles or his MCL, he sprained his PCL. Then when fellow teammates and fans see a guy like Brent Urban tear both of his biceps and within the same season return to the practice field. Yet when Perriman try's to run one time during warm ups, he hurts himself again. I just believe that when you pick a guy in the first round, that comes with a lot of expectations by both the team and the fans. 

 

I am a huge Raven fan, but I wonder how fast we would have seen him back on the field if he stopped getting a paycheck until he started playing?

Uh .. no, we don't. 

 

Our control over posting involves removing your posts if we feel like they go over a line. IMO, we let a lot of really borderline stuff remain posted. As far as negs (or ups) go - we have 1 vote ... just like everyone else. 

 

So, when you get showered with negs, it is because the other posters disagree with your post - not because the moderators have some issue with you as a poster. 

 

But then, getting negs would seem to be your goal, right?

1st Round Picks should be making immediate impacts and be developing into pro bowl players. Look at our history of Rookies. Mosley, Ngata, Reed, Suggs, McCalister, J. Lewis, Ray Lewis, Ogden. I could keep going, but that list should prove my point. Those are just 1st Rounders. We have had several other guys in the later rounds make a difference early as well. Why waste a year on a player when you could have a veteran balling out? We don't have time for "next year."

The only successful WR we have ever drafted is Torrey Smith and he was a one trick pony. At WR all you really need to draft is a guy with speed, hands, and the best work ethic. It's not rocket science. But at the same time, you can go out an sign proven Vets at a discount almost every year, so why not load up on that once you have your deep threat?
