Perriman's injury is very intriguing to me. Somehow, the lack of information about his knee coupled with the length of time it's taken to heal coming close to 10 months now. When you see Flacco with multiple tears on his knee just 3 months ago shoot basketballs, it makes you wonder about Perriman's injury or healing ability. Hopefully, he's well past recovery and is running full speed now. How can he not be when you think about it? He didn't have full tears of his ACL, MCL right?

I agree completely. Perriman isnt the issue here for me. Injuries happen, but its the intentional misinformation by the front office that has the entire world questioning Perrimans toughness, durability, and commitment. If the front office would be upfront with the full nature of the injury and timetable there would be alot less pressure on perriman to be rushed back. 10 months and he just started running? when he was only supposed to be out a few weeks in training camp according to harbaugh.. smh.. Ive honestly stopped believing anything I hear from John and Ozzie as far as Perriman goes. I Fear his injury may be way more serious than they are letting on, and as supporters of this player and franchise, I dont very much apppreciate being mislead....

that is all..

You couldn't slide a credit card under Joe's feet while he was shooting his set/jump shot at Torrey's celebrity bball game.  LOL. 

But I get where you're coming from.

I am sorry but there is something fishy going on here or there is something rotten in Denmark. A guy who got injured and was supposed to miss a couple days and now almost 12 months later he is just running and not yet at full speed. He had a scope to clean up his knee, not major surgery, supposedly nothing was wrong. There is no doubt at this point that the FO and medical staff completely screwed up this draft pick. Clearly due diligence was not done on him and his knee condition. I have heard experts take both sides of the argument saying his knee issues as a child shouldn't affect his ability to play yet I have read many people who had the same problem are still having issues years into their adult lives. This train has totally derailed and add him to the list of Wide Recievers the Ravens selected that are busts. Its not just last year, it is all the way to this year and we still don't have a WR who could go out on the field and play football. That reeks of that rotten fish in Denmark.

I would think the 3 years of not missing a college game due to his "knee issue" would suffice for due diligence.

They should have used Google. Forsett Flacco will be back at full speed before Perriman plays his first game. Nice Job Ozzie. Should have got a bonus for that pick.

[RavenROC]

While Perriman's first injury happened in training camp, he suited up for the Bengals game and further injured himself during warm-ups. That was September. Not really the "12 months" that keeps being thrown about.

Admittedly still slow, but if you didn't know that it's easy to see everything that's happened as them being misleading. His second injury wasn't a secret but I don't think it was well covered either.

[eze17]

I'm more concerned with Monroe...We have some depth at WR, but almost nothing at tackle, When healthy, Monroe is a capable lineman. If his health questions linger we need to probably use a high round pick in this draft, or look at a trade for someone. There have been several names mentioned that may be cut, but can we go into a season without a bona-fide LT? Especially with Flacco coming off an injury?

[sticks999]

Prove me wrong, that would be just fine. But I just have a feeling Perriman never will be playing.

[baru643]

I am willing to give Perriman a pass, but if he doesn't step on the field this upcoming season then I will agree that he was a wasted pick. I am not a doctor so I won't pretend to analyze the extent of his injury, but I do wonder why the FO and Harbaugh were being so cryptic in the reports of his progress (or lack there of) all last season.

[Shaky End of the Quarter]

Bustshad Perriman until proven otherwise.

[Bohica5]

I would totally hope that perriman can prove me wrong and actually contribute to our team this year......if he makes the roster....

[sami]

I'd like to hear how Jeremy Zuttah is coming along.

[blackandpurple20]

Ok so elephant in the room-has anybody ever been curious as to why Breshad Perriman legitimately looks like he is 50 years old (neck up)? Add in the fact that his knees heal at the rate of someone in the same age range..

I still wish we had grabbed Diggs when he was available.
Maybe the team needs to hire someone who can better evaluate DB's & WR's.

[pcwag33]

"...under our medical care with the trainers, Newsome said. “

Uh-oh. Said same about Pitta.

What the heck? is wrong with Perriman?

Nope. Surefire cut for sure. Such a bust

[gekaap]

Later that afternoon Monroe was placed on injury reserve after sneezing too hard.

He has no idea. All he knows is that his instant gratification was not satisfied.

[JimmyBlack]

Perriman reminds me of Travis Taylor.  The potential is there but he has not proven anything on the field yet, so I will hold off on the bust tag until Travis, ehrm, Breshad gets a season under his belt.

 

[Ravensuperfan1]

seriously Permian's still not ready to go? Why didn't we just pay Torrey?

Look at Aiken's numbers last year compared to Torrey's and then tell me who was the better value.

[Wildwest Raven]

I think he's got issues other than physical that we don't even know about...yet;.

[FloridalovesRavens]

Oh please just stop with the bust stuff! They will be ready when it's time and not because we fans think they should. It is what it is so just grin and bare it geez.

But, I believe, they are limited by non-disclosure agreements and HIPAA from saying anything Perriman doesn't want them to say. They can't just expose a guy's medical condition without his consent. Yes, there is more going on than we know about, but you can't blame Harbaugh or the team if Perriman won't let them release the information.

But my thing is with every other player weather its a torn achilies (SSS & SUGGS), ACL,MCL (flacco), Arm(forsett) they were rather upfront with the nature of those injuries. With perriman, we were told bruise, then that hed be ready by october then eventually on I.R and now hes just now running 10 months later... just seems like misleading information

[Wildwest Raven]

I really hope he has a bust out year, but he's shrouded with so many questions. Only training camp will tell.

That's because their injuries were cut and dry, there wasn't any second guessing their diagnosis of their injuries.  Perriman's not so much, since there wasn't an actual break or complete tear.
