SilverNRed Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Alright, remember when the Sabres traded for Chris Gratton? And all the fans in Buffalo got really excited about Chris Gratton even though we knew he was Chris Gratton? And the national media heaped praise on Darcy Regier for bringing him in? That's what's happening right now in Ravens Land and on ESPN/NFL Network. Basically Baltimore got a player with a name that people recognize and now everyone has managed to convince themselves that a mediocre player several years into his career is going to blossom because he's in a new place. Yeah, good luck with that. Players are who they are. Ray Lewis marching around isn't going to cause Willis to develop some character. Lewis is not going to make him faster (he's slower now that he was a couple years ago already) and Lewis is not going to make him more decisive when he's looking to find a hole. Willis didn't like Buffalo because the nightlife sucked compared to Miami. Well, guess what? The nightlife in Baltimore sucks compared to Miami too. Willis is a stupid person but it won't take more than one night of patrolling for new baby mamas for him to realize that he'd still rather be in Miami than Buffalo or Baltimore. Willis always seems like a good player in March or April, but not so much when you're actually watching him. He's not going to turn it around because he just doesn't have it. As for Chris Gratton, he can take solace in the fact that he's not a complete piece of human garbage when he's not playing sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 It was a great move getting Chris Gratton. How else would we have obtained Danny Briere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
