Premature Ring Talk

[Hammerhead]

A lot of folks are asking about who gets rings if we win. That's awfully premature given that we have a big obstacle in our way in the shape of the 49ers.

If you are JJ, Heap or Mason, would you even want a ring for a season you had nothing to do with? It's not a lifetime achievement award. If you contributed to the team's work and success in the season, you may qualify even if you aren't on the 53 man roster.

As to the guys who weren't here this year, I am sure they would not want one from us. And if we don't win the point is entirely moot.

Fans on a message board are allowed to look ahead and hope. As long as the team is focused. And considering they refused to be recorded with the Lombardi because they hadn't earned it yet....

No doubt. I guess I wonder why any player would want a ring from a team whose season he didn't contribute to. ..

That's true...this whole discussion point came about because it's said that a team can choose to give rings to former players, so people are going through their lists of "favorite former Ravens who never wore a ring"

Concur w/ Hammerhead - it's bad juju.

And just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

BS

I follow a lot of Ravens blogs and groups on Facebook and I have found that many fans who are remaining optimistic, but not calling it a win already. We aren't Yankees or Lakers fans, I feel like we're a little more grounded in reality.

However, I'm sure that there's a lot of people who are calling it a surefire victory, and I can't say I blame them too much, I feel like our bigger challenges have been vanquished already (Denver and NE), but I don't think we should be calling for a parade already. Looks real bad on us, but I'm sure SF fans are doing the same in their own circles.

Who is suggesting they would??

[Beau Petard]

And just to keep things in perspective for Indy and Cleve fans, does Jim Brown really want a ring as well?

Rings for former players/coaches makes no sense. I don't care who they are. I mean lets give all the band members and psl holders a ring while we are at it. The chick selling nachos at M and T too she gets a ring.

I don't understand it either.

Players on IR, practice squad players and maybe a guy like Kindle who was here the entire season basically...they get rings

Players that are retired or playing for other teams? That's ridiculous IMHO. Each year is its own animal...what has JJ or Mason or Grubbs or any of these other guys done for THIS team, THIS year?

Steve will give a ring to everybody employed by the team...including the support staff, but that's it.

Yea, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I surely hope it's the 9ers championship gear that gets donated to 3rd world countries though!
