Comments on: Reed to Niners is believed to be a smokescreen http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/12/reed-to-niners-is-believed-to-be-a-smokescreen/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: sportnorcal http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/12/reed-to-niners-is-believed-to-be-a-smokescreen/#comment-2387465 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 23:06:27 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1815503#comment-2387465 I would also love to so Reed in SF, but at the same time that’s a guy that should end his career as a Raven. To me, he has been the heart and soul of that team the last decade not the dancing linebacker.

Niners need better coverage safeties

I’ve always thought it was between Balt and Indy.
I’m a Pats fan but the love fest between BB and Reed won’t ever be consummated so to speak IMO. BB always thinks with the wallet first.

Ravenator changes his opinion on Ed Reed more often than he probably changes his underwear

**********************************************

Nominated by me for best post of the day……If Ravenator argues that he hasn’t changed his stance, he is arguing that he doesn’t change his shorts. If he agrees that he changes his shorts, he loses what credibility he has at being objective……..lol.

I think Ravenator actually said Reed is a former shell of himself but would be nice for him to end his career in Baltimore and is being consistant. Some credibility, but smelly.

This may all just be a formality and procedural tool in the talks between Ed and Oz.

I would be happy to see him in the NFC west.

Who said “you can’t teach an ignorant child new tricks”?

Funny thing is, if reed happens to resign in luckimore he will be transformed once again into the greatest safety of all time in his peabrain mind…

GO STEELERS!

So hopefully when that smokescreen clears he is still in red & gold. If not him there are options, but none of them as good as him. Reed at the right price as a bridge to a rookie isn’t the worst option. Chris Clemons and Laundry are also decent options. Goldson is the best option though, make no mistake about that.

Like sbaltimore said, he’s well over the hill and expects more than his worth.

Love me some 20, but the time has come to accept reality. If he goes elsewhere, it’ll be a short showing.

However due to Reed succumbing to COPD due to the extensive smokescreens Reed now looks like he’s 90 rather than his usual 60. Stay posted.

Nobody remembers when Ray Lewis was talking about wearing a star on his helmet (goin to the ‘Boys). How’d that work out?

Usually I’m on board with your takes, Ravenator. But not on Reed. Seriously…stick a fork in him. He’s done. Let some other team get stuck with an over the hill player who thinks he’s better than he is and wants more money than he’s worth at this point in his career. Is he a first round hall of famer? You bet. Is he worth any kind of serious money now? No way.

I heard that Ed Reed has an aversion to both earthquakes and crybaby whiney coaches. He’d rather play for a whiney coach vs. a whiney crybaby coach.

Ed knows this, Oz knows this, and his agent knows this. Weather it’s with bmore or someone else, that reality will strike and Ed will have to accept it.
