The Official Rhodes to be a Ravens thread next year!!

I just heard Keith Mills say on 98 Rock that Rhodes was arrested for a DWI early this morning. I wasn't for bringing the guy here, but we don't need someone like this here.

Looks like his asking price just dropped after that incident.

A DWI is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Look at BJ Sams 2 years ago...or was it this year? If his price just dropped a lot they should still look at him. I am not trying to sound crass or that I don't want quality guys on the team...but there are a lot of other worse things than 1 DWI. Now, if he has a history of this kind of behavior I say avoid him at all costs.

BJ Sams' second one could easily cost him 1/4 of the season, under the league substance abuse policy. I'd view even one DWI as a serious red flag, though some (Chris McAlister) seem to be able to get 1 & straighten up and fly right.

How dumb are these guys? If I am drunk I take a cab home, and I don't make even close to what they make in a year. Hire a freaking Limo or car service if you know you are going to get hammered, it's not like they can't afford it...

No more DUI players.

DUI leads to more DUI which leads to drug arrests and so on and son on.

Look at Cinci, do you want that to be us???

Forget about the DUI for a second. I still wouldnt waste precious cap space on Rhodes. He has always been a mediocre back behind the one of the best Olines in football, if not the best. The Colts open holes big enough for a Mack truck to get through. Rhodes would be rendered useless behind our Oline. Just look at what happened to Edgeren James when he joined the Cards. He did not have such a stellar season, and why is that? Its because the Cards Oline cant run block, the same way our line cant run block. Once we fix the Oline a good running back shouldnt be hard to find in the draft.

Nemesis,

Not to mention the only time he would ever see 8 men in the box would be in goal-line and short yardage situations.

Rhodes, buy or sell??

Sell! Sell! Sell!
