Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
I totally disagree and this off season proves it's about letting Ozzie do his thing and not what the fans think, even in small part.
Ray was brought back numerous times because he was valuable to the team and we were able to keep him at the right price. You also have to factor in his leadership on the field. Being the play caller on defense affords you more leverage that most.
Reed, to some extent, the same, but when his price shot up thanks to free agency, they let him walk and he's a tremendous fan favorite. Likewise to Boldin.
Fan satisfaction, when it comes to the beginning of the league year, is pretty far off their radar and the past proves it, especially in the Harbs / Ozzie era. They are never out to appease fans and "win in March".

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
Ohhh Mike..
He told us after the 2005 season Billick had lost his team... reaction fold?.. not really 13-3.
He told us Harbaugh lost his team after the texans loss... reaction fold?.. not really Champs.
Do it Again Mike!

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
Allow me to untangle this web of shit.
Preston wrote it? Well, then that's all you need to know on the topic. Donut man doesn't get paid unless he writes bullshit and you people eat it up. I swear I'd love to have his job. Write NFL related fiction, get press access to all the players and free tickets. Apparently the job doesn't come with a gym membership though.

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
Plus: winning heals a lot of minor rifts in a clubhouse. Given the team's success in the last five seasons and the fact that Reed remains a productive enough player who also seems to do a lot of coaching on the field and on the sideline, it would be extremely telling if Harbaugh jumped on the first chance to get rid of him no matter what salary he was asking, and Harbaugh/Ozzie just don't seem that petty.

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
Ravens fans are already satisfied with a Super Bowl victory. That glow carries over for a few years.
If you believe that Ravens fans do not trust their management to continue their winning ways, while making difficult decisions like releasing veteran players who will be in the ROH/HOF, you're wrong. NFL football is not only a business, but fans want to see winning seasons keep rolling along as long as the players wear purple and black. Harbaugh is 5 for 5 as Head Coach in playoff appearances. IMO your argument is thin ... Bc

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
It was a poorly worded hypothetical: Say Reed wanted to stay in Baltimore and was willing to take $1-2 million a year to do it, but Harbaugh went to Bisciotti and said that he didn't want Reed back at any price because he was too mouthy. I'm saying I don't see Bisciotti agreeing to it in part because it would be bad business to totally run a guy like Reed out of town on a rail like that. To say nothing of the questions I would think it would raise about Harbaugh's judgment and professionalism!
IOW...I don't buy the idea that Harbaugh had Reed whacked at all.

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
A whole lot of smoke with these personnel moves. I'm sure there isn't any fire.

Re: Rumor: Harbs wanted Reed gone
Preston is a washing-machine agitator at the bottom of a septic tank.
"King of Conjecture", my ass. Mikey Bag of Donuts/Sad Sack of Krispy-Kreme-Krumbz/Shit-For-Brainless isn't intelligent enough to know what a "conjecture" is, let alone spell it. His level of competence sits somewhere around the able-to-fling-poo line.
