He missed about 40% of the games first 4 seasons, now he'll be over 50%

If you include playoffs, he should be right around or just below 55% for games played. Add in this season and he's definitely below 50% for his career.

Good for him he's in Cincy. If he was a Raven, he'd have only couple preseason games to his name.

It's absolutely nuts how a player like Eifert goes through college with three straight years being injury free and then hits the NFL and it's a major injury almost every year.

True he was “traded”, but it wasn’t because the Ravens wanted to trade him. They couldn’t get a deal worked out for an extension($) so rather than just releasing him they were able to get the late round picks from Detroit. Bottom line is he isn’t a Raven now because he knew he could get more $ elsewhere than the Ravens were willing to, or could afford to pay.

This is true, but it was the right time to trade him, He has been a shell of himself ever since leaving here. Yes he’s started the year pretty well this year, but he’s still not the same.

Strange how that happens. Same thing with BWill

 

[RavensMania]

to be fair to him, we gave him that contract - its not his fault that we put a load of money into his last year and then didnt want to pay - ill never begrudge a guy getting his money

I agree. The average NFL career is 2.3 years. You can’t begrudge a player for wanting more money to provide for his family.

Winston is also out for the Bucs with shoulder injury. No details on severity yet.

2 teams who people had pegged in the playoffs, Packers are for sure done without Rodgers and we'll have to see how bad Winston's shoulder is.

 

[RayRayRaven]

still think the loss of ngata on the tails of the aweful joejoe deal is what has sunken the ravens to where we are. we have some good players but not well drafted players. we are not pickin up the talent we need with our top picks and that has to change or we get more years like we are experiencing

The Fitzpatrick curse strikes again

The Fitzpatrick curse strikes again

its funny how he and brian hoyer rarely play at the same time - hoyer gets benched and suddenly its fitzpatrick time - just you watch - hoyer hasnt got a chance to play again until winston is back on the field

Carson Palmer broke his arm. They say at least 8 weeks out but it seems to me it's the end of his career.

is it his throwing arm?

 

[allblackraven]

is it his throwing arm?

No, left arm but how he's played so far, he should take the opportunity and retire

i buy that it could be 8 weeks then albeit it might be a case of its the end of the year, the cards are out of contention and he realises he's gonna retire and so is larry fitz so they both play week 17 in a sort of testimonial

Yep, true.

Just think, imagine if Hooker was drafted by us and was having as good of a season he was having in Indy. Then he suffers a torn ACL, this forum would freak out. Hooker's rookie year is now over thanks to a torn ACL.
