vmax Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Like most fans, I wanted Gaither to succeed.He just didn't want to. Gaither Misses K.C. Practice Again After missing two practices last week for the Chiefs, tackle Jared Gaither had to leave Sunday’s session about midway though, according to the Kansas City Star. Gaither’s absences started piling up after he said he was 100-percent healthy last week and planned on starting. I only bring this up because it solidifies Ravens brass’ decision to move in a different direction. We all wish Gaither the best with his health and career, but his uncertain status was always tough to deal with.http://blogs.baltimoreravens.com/2011/08/22/late-for-work-822-lee-evans-is-dangerous-enough-to/ Quote
OutsideRzAcE Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Like most fans, I wanted Gaither to succeed.He just didn't want to. He could have started 16 games this year and I still wouldn't have blamed Ozzie and Harbs. He was a complete flake last year Quote
BMoreHon Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 of all things, coming back here and kicking ass should of been enough....I am sure Ozzie and Harbs are smiling and saying "see???" Actually, they have class...that's what I'm saying Quote
yagersports Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 It's too bad this guy is like this because when he was playing for us, he was unstoppable. Imagine if he would have dedicated himself to what he does? There's so much talent in this guy it's ridiculous and he's chosen to just squander it. It's too bad. Quote
BMoreHon Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 you are right Yager. When we got him in the supplemental I think that was the thought....Great talent with issues. Take a low risk chance on him and do whatever with him if it doesn't shake out. Seeing his potential was painful for us as fans but for the FO they knew it was a possibility. Damn! Quote
yagersports Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Jared who? lol lol lol I love Oz...he's the man. Hopefully the McKinnie thing will work out for at least just one season. That's all we need to get Oher one more year and get Reid up to speed. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 And I was vilified for saying that he should be traded. Come on anyone who thinks I was wrong last yr please say you still want him around now. Quote
RavenMad Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 And I was vilified for saying that he should be traded. Come on anyone who thinks I was wrong last yr please say you still want him around now. You are assuming there was a trade market for him. I took him a while in free agency to find a team willing to take a risk on him, what makes you think there was someone last season that was willing to give up a draft choice for him. Sorry Papa, but a lot of your posts about trade this and that vet away are senseless. This is not Madden. Most teams don't have a stupid AI at their centre where they do stupid trades every offseason. Most teams can't afford to trade away vets because of cap hits. Those vets that get cut at the end of their contracts get picked up as free agents and teams wouldn't trade for them because there is the likelihood they will be released so no need to waste a draft pick.

papasmurfbell Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Who thought there would be a trade market for Richard Seymour? If anyone thought he was worth a #1 at 30 yrs of age in his last yr with no new deal done please stand up. The reason the pats got the deal is they tried to get the deal. They put up effort. Quote
