Ravens sign RG Knee

Recommended Posts

Why is it cool for some to make derogatory remarks about RG3's knee injury but if some one was to insult Andrew Luck about his gimpy shoulder it would be viewed as a problem?  I don't get the hate by some fans here for RG3. To me Luck has shown to be the better QB and that is enough for me without having to mock Robert Griffin III over an injury. .

I really don't have a problem with what the OP Posted. It is something I wouldn't Post/Mock about RG3 but maybe he was sick of hearing how a lot of the media was saying RG3 would have a better career than Luck? So he was mocking it. When I was a member and Posted on ESPN in 2012 all season, I had RG3 fans private message me all the time just bashing Luck (wishing injury on him/saying we tanked for him, etc.) and saying how RG3 was way better because they knew I was a Colts fan. So I get the attempted humor eventhough I don't wish injury anyone.

A Good signing by Ravens. Even if it doesn't workout didn't cost much. I wish him well.

 

But, whoever thought with all the hype that Luck & RG3 got that Russell Wilson would be having the much better career? And then there's Cousins.

You just never know. 

:thinking:

Russell Wilson has only had the better career because he has a SB Ring (thanks to Lynch and his Defense COUGH COUGH). It's still early in the game though. Cousins has 0 Playoff wins so the verdict is still out on him. 2 best QB's of that Draft still remains Wilson and Luck. Wilson has never had a season like Luck has had in 2014. Luck threw for 40 TD's that season/4800 Yards basically and he won a lot too so those aren't garbage Stats. Colts went to the Final 4 and lost to the same team Seattle did in the SB. Wilson also had the biggest choke in SB history with that silly pass by media rankings.

After a while, it becomes silly. It is clear that Luck is better; so, why continue beating a dead horse?!

 

I hope he does well. I would also like to see Manziel get a shot somewhere.

I don't think Wilson has ever missed a game. If it wasn't for the worst playcall in SB history he would have 2 rings. He proved me wrong the last season or two. Wothout the dominate Defense and running game that he's had in previous seasons AND a OL maybe worst than ours he stepped up his game whem the team needed him. He's now showong he can carry the team.

 

Luck has missed like a year in a half in last 2 seasons and his availability AND durability is still in question going forward. When was the last time Luck has led his team to a winning season? 

 

Hopefully Luck will get healthy and stay healthy and return playing at a high level. But at this point its Wilson who's having the better career in that QB draft class.

I agree, I hope RG3 does well too but I understand why the OP Posted what he Posted. As a Colts fan I went through hell in 2012 with RG3 fan boys on a daily basis. I like RG3 actually, blame his goofy fan base to why some people Post what they Post.

As I posted above, I agree Wilson has had the better career due to having a Ring. I do think Luck is a clear 2nd as of now but if Luck gets healthy things could change. That play call in the SB is on 3 people IMO = OC, HC, and Wilson. Saying Wilson deserves no blame is wrong IMO. He could've audibled out of it, ran it himself, through an out route, etc.. Anyone at QB with a high IQ knows that pass he is about to throw called by Coaches would be super risky. So you audible out of it 9 times out of 10. JMO. Wilson deserves 33.3% of the blame for that play. If I would've been Lynch in that huddle, I would've told Wilson you are giving me the damn ball or I am walking off the field lmao.

I've always thought RG3 was a good quality player ruined by a serious injury, and impatient management.  Don't forget that he did get ROTY before going down with a bad ACL.  Because Washington had paid the world to get him, they rushed him back well before he was ready.  If they had just let him sit out the season ala Luck he could still be their starting QB.

Which is why the RG3 vs Luck debate around this fanbase is laughable to me for this reason. Now if Luck comes back and wins an SB then you have something if not Russell Wilson will be remembered as the one with the better career.

Foles won a SB too....in a very memorable fashion. Plus he had one year where I think he had the highest TD/INT ration of all time. He has put together quite the little career for himself. Luck has plenty of potential but he would be seen as the bigger bust if he doesn't win a SB because of the HYPE that he came in with. Smart as Peyton, mobility of Elway, Arm of Marino, size of Rothlisburger. If you built a qb in a test tube it was suppose to be him. I'm surprised Griffen fell off so quickly but just like Luck his injuries have hampered his career. Hopefully Luck's shoulder doesn't do the same to him. I've got no ill will to RGIII. It would be a nice comeback story if he gets the ship righted and latches on somewhere...even if not in Baltimore.

If Wilson would have thrown the ball low I don't think we're having this discussion today.  He could have made a better throw in my opinion.  I agree, though, he deserves at least part of the blame.

    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
    • He could feel that he needs Paye to develop into a more complete edge rusher. He keeps promoting that he was great as a run defender, but needs to continue improving. He invested a 1st on him, so he could very well want to retain him. My thought on drafting an edge rusher at 15 is that it works as a hedge in the event you don’t retain Paye or if the player shows far more promise than Paye moving forward. My comment about Pierce is that he invested a good draft pick on him- so the argument could be made that had Pittman walked, he would have Pierce (although we all agree that Pierce hasn’t performed like we hoped, nor would he be a wr1 by any means). He would have options this draft had Pittman not worked out.   The idea was more behind longterm planning when Pierce was drafted. Keep them coming in the pipeline so that you have options, and ideally good ones. Remember when Phillip dorsett was drafted? Many thought at the time the idea was to add to the room and hedge in the event TY walked when his contract was up. I’m not opposed to looking at stacking premium position players in the 1st round. That provides depth at the position short term and options longterm. It lessens the burden on a 1st round rookie at those positions, giving them time to develop.
