Steely Dan Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 If anyone wants to know the power of a contract year this says it all; Willis McGahee-RB- Ravens Mar. 27 - 5:12 pm et Willis McGahee is taking part in the Ravens' conditioning program and plans to report for all voluntary offseason workouts. This isn't like McGahee, but he admits this could easily be his last year as a Raven and he'll probably hit free agency next offseason. He needs to stay healthy to have a market value. McGahee will also be in a heated competition for carries again with incumbent starter Le'Ron McClain and Ray Rice. Source: baltimoreravens.com Even if Jeff George was picked up by a team he wouldn't pass the drug test because he's smoking a lot of crack! Jeff George-QB- Raiders Mar. 27 - 2:55 pm et Free agent Jeff George says if he was on the Vikings, he "guarantee(s) (he) would be wearing a ring right now." He just won't let it go. "It just amazes me that I’m not on somebody’s roster," the 41-year-old said. "You can’t tell me I’m not better than some of the QBs that are out there. I look at teams like Minnesota or Chicago, and I want to scream at the people in charge, ‘What are you thinking?'" George is throwing and staying in shape, but is highly unlikely to get a call this offseason. Source: Yahoo Sports Related: Vikings A little bit o'comedy to start the weekend.

KD in CA Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Sad thing is he is probably better than Orton and Travaris...thats how bad those two are...and he can probably be had cheaper too...

PushthePile Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Willis McGahee is the ultimate AZZWIPE. I hope he loses his touches to McClain and Rice this year. Jeff George isn't that far behind McGahee either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I think Jeff George's problem was his head not his ability. Perhaps he has matured in his years. McGahee? It was his heart and that does get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his heart and that does get better. George had one of the best arms on a QB I've ever seen. His problem was he couldn't read a defense to save his life.

From what I heard and saw was not so much as reading but doing cowboy like things refusing to check down, trying to make the big play when he could have gotten the first down, throwing the ball into double and triple coverage, etc which really frustrated OCs. He was trying to out Farve Farve without the ability to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Pasquarelli, who's been in ill health of late. I think he has the same condition as Booker Moore. Pasquarelli was recovering from the emergency bypass surgery he had while he was at Super Bowl XLII when he found out he had Guillain-Barre, the same thing Moore dealt with. Chris Mortensen did a powerful Q-and-A with him before this year's SB: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs2008...tory?id=3861360 And for those inclined to bash Mort every time his name appears, he missed the Pats-Giants SB because he was at the hospital with Lenny P.
