Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
Okay, I won't blast you. You have the right to an opinion. But, for the sake of discussion:
You get to be GM, and you even get the benefit of seeing these guys throughout preseason. What would you have done instead with the 58th pick instead of selecting Torrey Smith? Keep in mind the Ravens' needs at the time.
You're on the clock - you have ten minutes.

I totally and completely respect your opinion and your right to hold such an opinion. You are not, and will never be, a stoolers fan. Good on ya!!!
(is that the kind of response you're craving????)

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. It's just that sometimes their opinions are wrong, misguided, and fool of asshatery. :D

Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
Your still allowed to have an opinion, just don't expect everyone to agree with it. Now hopefully those who don't agree can have some intelligent discussions with you about it.
Personally I still think it's too early to tell, the guy needs a couple real games under his belt.

Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
Actually, sadly - I did a backflip when we drafted Torry. I would have drated him too if I was Ozzie. In fact, I was on this very board that night in late April flaming Ozzie and saying he had no balls if he didn't take Torrey smith.
Maybe I'm just disapointed in him so far and took it out on others instead. I'm going to apologize, take my purple ball, and go home now.

Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
Drew Brees was a 2nd rounder, and most people in SD thought he was a bust. And that was after 3 years of mediocre performances.
Let's give the kid one bad preseason and see what he can do in the regular season. Who knows, maybe he suddenly gets it after a week or two and starts pushing even Evans for the spot..

“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.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!

Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
I am not going to blast you but I think this might be a bit premature. Now, I will say the post above does not provide me any insight.... So state your case: why do you think he is a bust, what qualities is he lacking, what evidence have you seen to support your opinion... Etc.
I would say the one thing I have seen from him that really concerns me is he catches every ball with his chest not his hands which is a huge red flag for a receiver to me.- Section 133 for eternity!
- I know... The family resemblance is uncanny.

Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
I understand your concerns and I have my concerns about T. Smith and I'm not questioning your fandum or love for the Ravens...However, not having mini-camps or OTA's? Yeah, let's give up on every draft pick this year who hasn't gotten it. Get a grip, it's going to be alright;)

Re: Ain't the Kool-Aid Cold Today
Wow... if we were to go by this posters logic, we would pretty much have to cut 85% of our rookies.
I thought Torrey looked a little better last nite. He's a work in progress at skill postion that takes time to craft. Hoepfully we see him in there a bit this season and see what he's got.
