This thread honestly is a joke. 10 pages on a potential backup

Such is life during the off-season.

I was going to say maybe we can pawn him back off to the Raiders for a 6th or 7th...... yes I am joking..... well kind of. But not even the Raiders would be that dumb.

I just hope this thing gets resolved one way or the other and not drag out over the course of the summer or something. Or at least if it does it doesnt keep getting all this coverage. I mean the dude has not even suited up for a scrimmage in a Raven uniform. Hes a nonentity at this point.

That being said, I'm not holding my breath that McClain will ever wear a Ravens uniform even as a rotational player on Sundays. And that might be his upper limit at this point.

youre right. A little premature and him being a football player and all completely plausible that he suffers from severe chronic migraines.

McClain needed to make a statement and he did ... it just happened to be the wrong one. For a guy that already has a bunch of strikes against him he really didn't need another one.

Tony wants to give Rolando another shot. I dont care either way. The Ravens own his rights, only makes sense to check in with him and kick the tires now and then.
I dont buy into all the media speculation etc.
Ozzie and Co. are the only ones that really know how close Rolando really is to playing, or if he's really done. If he can play, or might be able to offer the Ravens anything, believe me, he'll be on the roster for TC.

ESPN asked Harbaugh about it and he just said "Disappointed", didn't elaborate more.

The writer opined that the Ravens are probably the only team left that might give him a shot. If we cut him loose, they don't expect anyone else to try him out.

I'm not expecting to see him in a Ravens uniform.

im expecting to see him in a uniform, im just not sure he ever sees a paycheck with Bsciotti's signature.

Doesnt really seem like Harbs really wanted him on the team.

Forget it, man. Same old Rolando.

HARBs is pissed and should be. Rolando screwed up his workout not following thru on the drills or trying hard and he reported 22 mins late to begin with and making the coaches wait. Said he had a head ache.:grbac:

________________________
But it’s not just that Harbaugh was disappointed that McClain didn’t pass his conditioning test. It’s that McClain “quit” his conditioning test and didn’t attempt to finish or push himself through, Bell explains in the video below. That was before he got to the actual linebacker drills. (Mobile users tap “View in Browser” at the top of the page to watch.)

McClain didn’t offer any excuses when tweeting about the experience, but NFL Media’s Aditi Kinkhabwala told WNST that McClain spoke of having a migraine during the workout.

She also noted that McClain was 22 minutes late.

Harbaugh hates guys who don't work hard and loves who do. That's what Jameel McClain got so many opportunities. He constantly busted his ass. Rolando's act won't work for Harbaugh.
