Re: Kindle experiment is not over...
Emmit Smith, Joe Montana, Brett Favre.... the list of legends who leave because of age is a fact. None of them finished where they started. Ray is lucky to have been in the position.
Now, this should be a business approach after the season. Take the vet minimum or walk.

1st and foremost it makes a huge difference to a defense to have a great year when you have a QB like McNair who wasn't a turnover machine. When the offense that year was NUMBER 1 in time of possession (32:48), that ALSO helps a defense to have a "freakishly" good year.
Looking at what happend after the cap purge means nothing without a QB. Take away Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers from any of their teams and all their coaches are going to get shitcanned by their losses.
My opinion has little to do with here and now. The team better start making changes or you are going to see 5-11 years again.

Kindle has the physical ability no question, the FO probably see enough in him that they say why not keep working with him in practice, offseason programs, etc. and if he hasnt improved by then he wont make the 53 man roster next season.
We were talking about this when he got cut, he wasnt really a pass rusher in college, he was a blitzer with athleticism and sideline to sideline upside. I think if he can continue to learn the nuances of pass rushing, get counter moves, etc. and become competent as a ST player best case he could be a sub package rusher. Are the odds extremely against him, sure, but the Ravens obviously see something in practice that make them want to continue to work with him. Also i think if he didnt want to work there is no way he'd be on the practice squad, they would have just cut ties.

Yes, Billick did not have a decent QB during most of his tenure, and he is part of the reason. Why would any QB want to come to this team? How come the team could not develop the QB? You have to look at Brian and Oz.
And if Billick got such a raw deal, how come no team has hired him. Bisciotti stopped paying him a couple of years ago. He's free to go with any team without them having to match that $5 million a year.

Oh yeah, Billick wasn't a victim in the QB situation, but the one time we had legit play, we did awesome.
Can't say why Billick hasn't gotten a job. He's an arrogant S.O.B. no doubt and I am sure that plays into a lot of owners decisions not to hire him. But regardless, he is the only Super Bowl winning coach the Baltimore Raven's have ever had so show some respect. Winning percentage is nice, go look to Andy Reid and the Eagles, but ask the fans and they wouldn't mind a Super Bowl trophy.
Say Billick does coach again, does that somehow validate my point? No, but as accomplishment goes, he is in rare company, period.
BY THE WAY, when your points are shot down or other factors are pointed out like 2006's offense, please acknowledge their validity rather than ignoring my points and just digging up more trash to muddy a discussion....
