He used his failures in Baltimore as motivation to succeed at Oakland. That's growth and I'm happy for him. Look at Josh Gordon, who like Waller had serious issues with weed and has yet to overcome his drug issues.

Glad the guy is doing well but this guy clearly had problems. Wasnt he suspended two straight years here? If I recall it was substance abuse issues.

We saw like 1 good game from him his entire career as a Raven. It sucks because he could probably be thriving in this offense and I recall his combine, for some reason I watched more of that combine than I do most and in the receiving drills he was very smooth. He looked like one of hte best WRS in all the drills that year.

Maybe we can now put to rest the argument of late round WRS who never panned out for Ozzie argument.

Raiders found a gem on the street and the Ravens lost a good talent for cheap but the lack of production here should be on Waller not the Ravens.

This young man (28) got a 2nd chance and made the most of it. Good for him! Some are disappointed that he didn't do it as a Raven, but life takes unexpected turns, Thankfully he took advantage of getting clean and it looks like a successful career ahead. I am

for him... Bc

some people need a jolt to wake up
maybe getting cut did that

I think it happens to some of these big-time qbs

happy for him. I have a soft spot for anybody that wore the black and purple.

Agreed. I'm glad he got the wake up call and made the most of his 2nd chance. So many people don't get that 2nd chance or blow it.

Wow he’s 28? That I didn’t know. Whatever his prime is it’s now he’s not as ascending as maybe I thought.

Waller has said that he needed to hit rock bottom and leave this area. He wasn't going to succeed here and the way he was going was going to ruin his life. It all worked out for the best

**Laxdad24** · 09-22-2020, 09:57 AM

It would appear that Waller and Perriman are the only 2 examples of players who’ve moved on from here and actually...improved. Waller is way better than Perriman but still. As great as our culture is here ...clearly it’s not for everyone. Good for those guys.
