Re: Ravens are signing Brandon Stokely
Perception is sometimes quite removed from reality. There are a lot of well-intentioned posters who have decided to run with a perception of Doss and his inability to catch the ball, all the while clamoring for the front office to bring in other people. And while drop % isn't the only measure of the quality of a WR, dropping passes has been the focus of a lot of people's concern.
2012 Drop Rate (of selected players who have been brought up by posters as "improvements"):
Brandon Lloyd 4.62%
Nate Washington 5.56%
Tandon Doss 5.88%
Demarius Moore 7.89%
also:
Jacoby Jones 1.82%
Torrey Smith 2.73%
Ray Rice 3.61%
Vonta Leach 8.33%
Bernard Pierce 9.09%
There is obviously a whole lot more to being a receiver than what a statistic can show and drops is a little bit subjective, but I thought it was interesting at least.
On another note, David Reed's and Deonte Thompson's stats for 2012 were almost identical in targets, catches, drops, yards.

Re: Ravens are signing Brandon Stokely
I don't know that it's panic. Other than some saying Doss should be cut...which some of us had fun with last year...I don't see most of it as panic.
Panic would be saying things like we are going to stink if we didn't sign someone.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.

Re: Ravens are signing Brandon Stokely
Wow, this thread has exploded overnight and after reading pages of posts it stinks of mass panic. If I didn't know better you would think this is a thread from fans of a perennial bottom dweller, not the Super Bowl champs. Drop the torches and pitchforks and disperse the angry mob, at least until we even play a game that counts. Man, what a bunch of downers. If by some freak twist of fate the team doesn't win a game all year you won't have to lower your expectations.

Re: Ravens are signing Brandon Stokely
Who knows what we'd have been able to do if Boldin was still here.
Sure, if the team did absolutely nothing else to adjust contracts getting those other guys looks like it wouldn't have happened.
But as I've said in other threads, it most certainly could have been done by making a few other moves.
