He is so fucking good. Gonna get his jersey at some point
yeah he was there with hollywood, AB and jerry jeudy
he was a udfa for a reason though lol - he's not particularly fast, long strider, not that crisp or sudden with his routes
but he's 6'4 200lbs, coached by brian hartline at ohio state and has some short-area quickness and decent hands...
decent camp body to bring in and has a relationship with lamar from back when they were kids
Yep I don't think he's an NFL caliber player for the reasons you mentioned, but no harm in taking a shot. Insane catch radius. No reason not to give him a spot for now. And if something better comes along, so be it.
like i think he's a step below a guy like antoine wesley who i think has actual tools and nuance that give him a chance (but he hasn't done anything with them yet since he's been in the league)
the other issue for these bottom of the roster big-receiver types is that they're unlikely to ever be an option on special teams which completely tanks their chances of making the active roster as ravens because they're not competing with the 5th/6th/7th receiver options they have to actively beat out the 3rd/4th receiver options
I'm for extending him now. Could save the organization millions.

I think so too but the only reason I wouldn’t extend him is if there’s any way we wouldn’t keep him. If there is any doubt then you cannot extend him. If he is your guy though then you marry him and call it a day and save some money if you can. This is literally the perfect time to extend him since he’s had a down year and all the other stuff.
you really buried the RG3 waiving. lol
RG3 didn't do much on the field, but can't understate how much he meant to Lamar's development. I'll always respect what he did here. Humbled himself and found a way to bring value.
and this doesnt completely shut off his chances to be back - if huntley and/or mcsorely flame out this offseason we probably welcome him back
but hard not to see huntley improving enough this offseason to win the backup job given what he's shown so far and that we'd be comfortable with that
putting this here because it's a good point regarding the combine and free agency...
EDIT: Zrebiec answering why...
makes sense

I was thinking that - but only buffalo makes sense in that capacity and I’m not sure they’re that interested in running the football
