If I'm the Cardinals or Dolphins looking for a QB, I'm on the phone with Denver looking at Kyle Orton...or waiting until the Titans decide to cut VY.

He had a couple of good games against Atlanta and SF. He has been destroyed against competent defenses. Again...more INTs than TDs and a losing record while his team wins whenever he doesn't play.

I shouldn't have changed my post, "mythical jackass" is funny but I didn't want to cuss at anybody on this board. Ex doesn't realize how not having OTAs will make things tougher for Torrey Smith, Doss and even David Reed. The young WRs could have used those extra reps in OTAs, the lockout could hurt the rookies and second year players.

Any interest in Jared Gaither yet?

The Jets and Chargers are both after Antwan Barnes. Funny how stuff works out sometimes.

Please, let me get this straight SugarRay. The missed OTAs are going to hurt David Reed, but the Ravens are going to bring in Sidney Rice or someone else who doesn't know the system at all, to start over David Reed?

I'm guessing Jeremiah W is in the fetal position crying his eyes out in a dark room while accepting the fact that Nnamdi isn't coming here.

Do any of you expect any FA's to come to Baltimore? Or will we just do nothing and sign our guys back?

Seahawks get in on Sidney Rice bidding as well. This could drive up the price of Rice making Baltimore NOT want to put in an offer.

Also -

Ike Taylor re-ups with Pittsburgh on a 4 year deal.

Sidney Rice not knowing the system > 1 year of David Reed

I'm going to end this now and let you continue you with your theory, I can't convince you to change your mine. In the end I will be right.

Wilson just tweeted "God is good!" on his twitter. I hope that's a good sign.

How do you even know Reed is good? You don't. Demetrius Williams was described like an all pro WR in camp, but couldn't cut it during Sundays (part of it was injuries yes). Sidney Rice or someone like that could learn the system quickly. Boldin did so last year. He's been in the league, he has shown he can be a good WR in this league. It goes both ways.
