Re: Ed Reed needs to go
I thought I was clear about this: I'm not saying it's wrong to cut ties. I have kids, sometimes they're hysterical about things. It doesn't mean they're wrong, it just means they're being hysterical.
Say Ed Reed's contract demands are too high for what he brings to the table. Say it does not make sense to invest too much into the free safety position. Say this is / should be / probably (pick one or more) his last year wearing the purple. I would agree with all those things.
But saying "Ed Reed needs to go" is being hysterical.
Your accusation of hyperbole is showing, Captain.
Ok, that's a valuable addition to the conversation. Thanks. :grbac:Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
It literally adds nothing to a conversation. Without giving a reason, "I agree" adds no more than "I disagree," neither of which helps me think about what's being discussed. I know it's common, but it still gets on my nerves and occasionally I grumble.
Unless - literally - your name is "BMore Ravor" or "FilmStudy," a flat "I agree" means nothing to me, because I don't care.
I'm probably not the only one who feels that way, but I might be.

I was talking about the OP, which is why I quoted it repeatedly. I missed what you said.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
I think he should be released after this year.
He's way past his prime, he's always hurt and he just refuses to wrap up. He's going to make 2-3 nice INTs each year on instinct. But his overall play has declined to the point where he looks like a liability.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
I don't blame him, but I'm sure Ed has a very inflated estimation of his future value. I trust that our FO violently disagrees.

Re: Ed Reed needs to go
For the right price the Ravens would bring Reed back. Reed has made it very clear though that he isn't looking for a cheap deal. There are many teams who could really benefit from a playmaker like Reed and will pay him a lot more than the Ravens. I wish him well. There are very few Ravens who I have enjoyed watching more than Ed Reed.
