Ellerbe most likely a bust

[nyjunc]

Love these generalizations someone no one here is familiar with pulls out of his/her azz - which turns out not to be correct at that as Ellerbe also excelled replacing Ray. Why not also contend that Washington was stupid drafting RG3 against the odds, as there hadn't been a successful Baylor QB since Cotton Davidson and Don Trull in the old, less competitive AFL? Hell, for that matter, shame on the Colts drafting Luck, considering the last QB to be NFL-successful was Elway close to 30 years ago. Unlike these two with no empirical evidence that they could transition to the NFL, aAt least with Ellerbe, there's a reasonable impressive body of work competing at the highest level.

This is absolutely hysterical since back in 2009 YOU told me:

Rex would fail b/c his dad failed to win playoff games- rex won 4 playoff games
rex would fail b/c other former Ravens DCs failed
Scott was a bad signing b/c other former Raven LBs were busts as FAs


It's so interesting how you suddenly change your philosphy when Miami signs a guy. Just like you love Calvin pace when Miami was rumored to sign him then he sucked a day later when he signed w/ the Jets.

There is an excellent chance you guys are a playoff team and we will suck but I will be here. I don't run and hide just b/c my team sucks.

There is always a bright and shiny toy and the board is always aglow with free agent praise. Not long ago we were genius for signing Karlos Dansby and Kevin burnett.seems like the only major free agent signing that has worked out in the irleand era is randy starks in retrospect. not counting cam wake since it was kind of an under the radar move for a lesser known player.

As Time passes, things change. Dansby and Burnett WERE good signings at the time for that scheme. And with Wake, even more reason to count it since Ireland had the vision that he would be great and other GMs missed the boat. Also, wasn't Incognito a FA? Tony McDaniel?
