CC to the Ravens

[GimmedaBall]

Fan favorite and future HOF Calais Campbell is going back to the Ravens. I wanted him back here to put the finishing touches on his career in Cardinal Red. Believe he still showed plenty of value along the DL. Wonder if the Cards had any interest?

a terrible defense just got worse.

 

[Phrazbit]

Yeah, I saw the other day that we declined to make him an offer, which surprised me.

I thought he was pretty good.

After 1-Year Return To Cardinals, Calais Campbell Heads To Ravens

Reunion in Arizona was impressive as popular D-lineman posted 6.5 sacks

Wow.

Will he go to the HOF as a Cardinal though?

I heard Monti say that they were in touch with CC and were respectfully allowing CC to decide on what he wanted to do.
Didn't see where the Cards declined to make him an offer.

That was what I read too. Sounded like Monti wanted to let see if he could chase a ring first. I am rooting for him to get one this year.

CC clearly wants to go to a contender. I wish him the best.

I don’t think the Pro Football Hall of Fame names a team with the player’s induction.

You are correct as MLB is different as the player decides.

 

[Proximo]

Nobody should be surprised by this. Why would he want to play his last season on what everyone is calling the worst team in the league with a new coaching staff?

True for the Hall of Fame bust. Name, position played, and head.https://cdnph.upi.com/pv/upi/cd15a59fbbce195621387c5f462f8c0c/NFL-HALL-OF-FAME-ENSHRINEMENT.jpg

During the Induction speech, player will list everybody, every team, important to his lfe/career. (Warner's speech is on Youtube.)

guys go to Canton as an NFL player.

CC deserves better than this franchise. I can’t blame him for peacing out after last season and we subsequently stick with rallis.

One day hopefully cards will pull it together

Dammit....

He was always one of my favorite Cardinals and they never should have let him go the first time. However, and this won't be popular here, he's a guy hitting 40, is at best a part time player and it certainly appears that the team is moving to a younger rotation on the Dline and although his experience may be missed his absence will allow younger players to develop quicker with more snaps.

 

[IAcards]

He came here last year, likely because, he bought the hype that we were going to be good. A great ending to his career where it began. That didn't happen.

CC deserves to retire after a winning season. That won't happen here. Thanks for trying to help this pitiful franchise, Calais. Good luck.

We had great seats at the Indy game last year and my wife said , look at that big guy(CC), he can barely walk off the field.

I said, yes, he's our best defensive lineman.

Funny thing, he's been walking like that since we got into the NFL! He's lumbered into a HOF career in my book!

CC comments on why he went to the Ravens:

MSN

"I felt that. I believe that this team has all the tools to win. . . . Where can I go where I can make plays and win games? Baltimore made the most sense when it came down to that."

I'm waiting for CC's hour-long HOF Induction Speech. Maybe Shaq will introduce him to the audience.

I remember arguing with someone on here about how great of a pick CC was at the time. I got told repeatedly that he was too tall to be good. Ive got plenty of player evaluations wrong as a fan, but definitely got this one right.

You have a good memory. I can remember going to a party with my father and leaving with my mother. She also argued about it, briefly.

You called it right. I didn't bash him as too tall, I don't think, although IIRC I didn't care for the pick. That's so long ago, though, I couldn't say for sure. If I didn't then I was happy to be wrong!
