The Official Ruvell Martin Watch Thread

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Day 4 and Ruvell is still picking and choosing which team best suites him.

[boiga]

Ruvell's a vet now, right? So odds are good he'll be picked up after the first game to avoid the guaranteed yearly salary.

Actually they picked him up before he cleared waivers. So he got his GB contract picked up.

[]{ilr]3]

So what happens if he goes to the Bears or the Vikings? He could be a #2 & #3 respectively on those team.

Personally I would hate that as he seemed to be a decent guy. Not a turd who bitched and moaned liked a jilted school girl when they werent resigned like Sharper and Longwell.

You are freaking high. He would be lucky to be a 4 or a 5 on either of those squads.

vikings:

Ruvell < Berrian
Ruvell < Harvin
Ruvell < Rice
Ruvell < Wade

Bears:

Ruvell < Rashied Davis
Ruvell < Hester
Ruvell < Iglesias

Unknown whether he is better than earl bennett, but Bennett was 3rd round pick. Doubtful he is better than Bennett.

[Lurker64]

My guess is that he ends up in Kansas City, they have a pretty dire situation at WR. Bowe is a legitimate player, but he's in the doghouse in KC for whatever reason. Bradley can play when he isn't hurt, but that's not nearly often enough. Then you've got a bunch of guys with question marks. Engram hasn't really shown he can't play but he hasn't shown yet that he can, while Copper and Lawrence pretty much are there only for their ST ability.

I mean, the Chiefs brought in Ashley Lelie for a look a few weeks ago, and I think Martin probably has more in the tank than Mr. Lelie.

[Bossman641]

I think Bennett is scheduled to start for the Bears, not positive though.

EDIT - wait I think it's Arushamoa or whatever the fuck. Who cares, they all suck

You could be right, but there are better players out there right now:

Jerry Porter
Reggie Williams
Matt Jones
marvin harrison
Joe Jurevicious
Ike Hilliard
Travis Taylor
Koren Robinson
Justin McCareins
Drew Carter
Dante Hall

Ruvell indeed had a contract, and it wasn't just a rookie deal since he was undrafted. Ruvell was over a $1 million, Anthony Smith was around $700k.

1 million for Ruvell...i guess a million doesn't go as far as it use to.

It isn't that uncommon.

Same story about Fred Taylor calling MJD and talking about what it was like when you become a starter.

But with Pioli running the show, and cognizant of the fact that KC isn't going to do anything this year beyond "attempt to inspire confidence that the team is on the right track", they may pick up Ruvell as a budget option. No way they're springing for Marvin Harrison, for example.

Then again, Ruvell may not be looking for an NFL job. He may just be hanging with his pals in Green Bay, waiting to see if an injury to a WR convinces the Packers to resign him. I mean, even if he hasn't got any money, he could probably live off of Aaron Rodgers's dime for a while.

I could see them going for Matt Jones. He was starting to come on..and if he is clean, he is a nice pickup.

Forgot about Fergie. LOL

Who is better: Ruvell or Fergie?

[Partial]

Ty I don't think very many of those receivers are as good today as Martin. How many of those guys have floated all around? Martin has at least been a member of a veteran, talented receiving corps (one of the best in the NFL). Some of those guys couldn't hack it in some of the worst.

[Lurker64]

Speaking of "not looking for an NFL job", can guys still make money in the Green Bay area by being "well-liked ex-Packers"? It seems like LeRoy Butler and Gilbert Brown were making a decent living off of that, but they had better resumes than Ruvell and the economy has softened somewhat...

[falco]

Not sure about Gilbert, but I think LeRoy has done everything for charity.

Bill Schroeder has made a living swinging a golf club with two heads.

You may not think so, but that is why you aren't in the NFL. Your talent credentials took a serious hit with Money Morency.

What does being a member have to do witih anything. Being the bench warmer doesn't mean anything, or are you advocating the Bucks run out and sign mark madsen.

Every receiver i listed is either better or has been more productive...maybe not Drew Carter.

50ish catches and 6 tds? How many of those guys beat those numbers last year. I'm dying to know. No excuses. I'm actually legitmiately interested because I'm too lazy to look it up.

How many can be a dominant run blocker like him?


UPDATE: Nevermind the wikipedia stats are wrong. They;'re listed for 2008 but they're for a career.

[mission]

but they're for a career.

That sounds about right. 50 catches for Ruvell ???

Wonder if he even ever got that in college... :lol:

Ruvell had 50ish catches and 6 tds last year? Geez, i musta missed that. I thought he had 15 catches and 1 td.

I'm willing to bet that of the receivers i listed 80% have more career catches and tds than ruvell.

there isn't a question about harrison, porter, jones, williams, jurevicous, hilliard, taylor (may be with lions), robinson, ferguson, lelie, darrel jackson.

Question marks only for McCareins, Drew Carter, Dante Hall..the issue is most likely tds for those guys.

And calling him a dominant run blocker is hilarious. Dude, get out of programming..you make drew rosenhaus look like a piker. I'm dead serious, you need to become an agent asap.

Edit: After seeing that you didn't even know ruvell's #s and actually thought he had 50 last year...only convinces me more that you need to be an agent.

[Partial]

Who cares what they did over a career? Most have played significantly longer. You're a hooligan.

[mission]

Howzabout average catch amount per season?

I'd take an old Harrison over Ruvell right now... most of those guys.

They played a lot of seasons for a reason. Those guys largely remain unsigned because of financial reasons.

[rbaloha1]

Jake Allen shall make Packer fans forget gumby.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Exactly. They did more and did it longer.

But, excellent retort mr. rosenhaus. Only in your warped mind is a more successful career a detriment.

[SkinBasket]

Says the guy who used Ruvell's career numbers...

[KYPack]

You got everything from soup to nuts in that list of WR's, Ty. Some of those guys are all "played out". Your point is intact, however. Martin is a marginal guy at best. A tall guy with fair speed that can still play ST is about all he has going for him.

As far as being a dominant run blocker?

That's no factor. A guy like that can help you a couple times a season, if that. Any OC would prefer a live receiver with some shake to a guy who can block.

[bobblehead]

Love Ruvell. He wasn't top 5 on our team. Most of Ty's list as well as Ruvell don't belong in the NFL anymore.

Matt Jones just on immense talent should probably get on a squad (unless he can't pass a drug test). Dante Hall I'm surprised isn't returning for someone. Other that that, none of those guys have a real spot in the league anymore.

Again, more chances. The best ratio would be average dollar per reception yard given that its a recession.

Unfortunately for you, you didn't state that. And, you are the one that started the comparison, not me.lol

Now, you want us to believe that martin is better than some guy who only has one knee....what logic is that? When did we start talking about one guy? Who is the one knee?

Either way, your ability to determine who is better is in severe doubt.

Not to mention chemistry. Chemistry now down to 6.9.

$ aren't a factor in signing RM.

He'll make about 620K this year, not a huge factor. I'd think a team will sign a kid rather than give him a look.

I think what KY is saying is "Ruvell is the kind of guy that if you call him up and offer him a 1-year deal at the vet minimum, he's in uniform within two days time."

Not like a guy like Marvin Harrison, who you call him up and the second question is "how much?".

I do agree about Ruvell is the type you offer a vet min contract.

Either way, not signing him on the packer's mill contract or 600k...it says quite a bit that teams aren't signing him now rather than lose a chance at this guy.

Chemistry will go up 2 points at least on your team upon signing.

You and PB may be right. If it was a mil, that's a negotiated contract all righty.

I had him at 620 K off that GBP salary cap spreadsheet.

If he is making a million, the team that signs him would be on the hook for that. if he's getting 620 that the vet min for a 4 yr guy.

I overlooked PB's post, my error on that one.

I didn't see anything on that deal other than PB's post.

As a vested PRat veteran, I will have to yield to PB and his Fritz Shurmur Avatar.

[Merlin]

I thought we kept him because he was supposed to be our "big and fast" target down field. I never thought he was that fast and he just didn't seem to "fit" when he was in. He is a decent guy and all and could be a #3 or 4 on another team in the right system. I think Driver set the mold for the type of WR's Green Bay is interested in, smaller, faster, and tough as hell.

I think Driver set the mold for the type of WR's Green Bay is interested in, smaller, faster, and tough as hell.

Ruvell was never all that fast, but he was tall, tough, had decent hands, and was reasonably savvy. His lack of straight line speed was what cause Schottenheimer in San Diego to cut him and predict that he would never make it in this league.

I think his role as the "big downfield target" has been supplanted by Finley who is bigger, can run like a WR and probably has better hands. I really think that's what cemented the Martin cut, Finley emerging as a legitimate target in the preseason, and Swain's play on Special teams left it so Ruvell wasn't the best at anything anymore.

Still, I wish him luck.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Day 6 and Ruvell still weighing his options.

Rumor he is crashing on Ballhawk's couch. Ballhawk's wife, "he better be gone in 3 days or.."

[SnakeLH2006]

Rest easy.

Just check the Twitters. Ruvell is happy running Arod's Twitter campaign, while ARod is busy winning games as an NFL QB. Damn....Ruvell found his niche. Twitt3r Beyotch for the Man.... :shock: :lol: 8-) ....At least he can still play his guitar...

If they wanted someone familiar with bert, they'd pick up Ferguson. RM has one season with Bert, that hardly makes him familiar...3 years ago.

If they wanted someone familiar with bert, they'd pick up Ferguson. RM has one season with Bert, that hardly makes him familiar...3 years ago.

RM ain't gonna be signed.

Make that 2 seasons. They may not have much game experience together but Ruvell practiced with him every week.

Yeah, i'm sure the 5th at best receiver got tons of reps and passes thrown his way iin practice. C'mon, get serious.

How do you think he became close with Arod..because he got reps with him.

Either way, your logic of familiarity as a grounds for hiring surely leaves the Vikings calling Fergie..not only is he way more familiar with Favre, but he is way more familiar with his ex teammates.

The Lions are not looking at Ruvell Martin.

The Lions are not looking at Ruvell Martin.

And, for that, Ruvell is happy.

[mraynrand]

Keep an eye on that semi-pro stuff Harlan's watching in and around Madison. Ruvell is likely to show up there.

The Patriots are not looking at Ruvell Martin.

I think this thread could get as long as the "Brett the Vike" thread if I can keep this up.

Sounds great. I'm glad you wouldn't insult him by suggesting outdoor work.

Ruvell's talent clearly puts him as an indoor guy.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Day 7 and Ruvell still not signed.

Will the national nightmare ever end?

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Day 8.

According to some, this should be the last day he is unemployed, as his salary will go down after the season starts.

We shall see.

[Bretsky]

My guess is he'll latch on to a team by week 4 when injuries come up. He's a good guy. But just a guy.

What we are realizing is some of the homers, or his fans, in here valued Ruvell Martin way more than the scouts and GM's in the NFL.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

day 9

This thread is going to be awfully long if you post for every day someone doesn't sign Ruvell Martin.

Day 8.

Actually, his salary already is down. But after week 1, none of his eventual lower salary will be guaranteed.

I don't think even that is an excuse for Martin. For his salary to have been guaranteed for being on a roster week 1, I think he would have to have had four years seniority. Martin has only three years. I could be wrong on this, but too lazy to look it up.

How's that crow tyrone?

The second day his contract isn't guaranteed he gets signed, ahead of that entire list of WR's you mentioned earlier.

Congrats Ruvell! The Rams will still stink, but you won't find a better chance at some playing time.

[retailguy]

RM ain't gonna be signed.

Not only signed but signed above these guys:

David Tyree

Chris Davis

Tyrone, I live for the days when you look in the mirror and actually see the large foot sticking out of your mouth. We see it every day, but every once in a while, in moments like these, I know you see it too.

Ruvell lives on. Even if only for a few weeks. May he become the next Torry Holt... Good for him. I'm happy for him to have an opportunity to continue his career.

Good for Ruvell.
Hope he has a good, long, successful career with the Rams.
The class he showed to Swain makes you wish good things for the man.
Never saw anything negative about him the whole time he was a Packer.
Plus, he didn't try to "get even" with the Pack and sign with a division rival!
One of very few former Packers I will root for.

Not over Ruvell, I mean he was a starter for ZERO games in his Packer career.

He didn't differentiate Packer career in his post, alluding to the fact that signing with a divisional rival was "getting back at the Packers".

This is a perfect example of how you are an asshat.

The quote you pulled was in relation to the vikings. I never said ONCE that he wouldn't play in the NFL again.

This is your typical bs. You don't have the guts or the brains to actually comment before something happens. But, then you try and make it out like you knew he would...and to you pull some quote that you try and make it look like i was saying he never would.

And, listing those receivers..why? I never discussed ruvell in any sort of context with them.

Trying looking in the mirror, you might see the foot in your mouth. Or, at least you should ask yourself what type of man you are...as it is quite apparent that you a very small person.

He seems to have a ton of class.....I agree with that. Not sure what sort of attitude he had in negotiations so I can't speak to it..

Lastly, or course you gotta root against Favre! Any person who claims to be a Pack fan isn't really a 100% fan if they don't to some degree. I do not root for divisional rivals, period.


Rooting against someone and indicating they are a "traitor" are two different things, that's all.

If you can't see that i'm talking about the Vikes and Favre and Ruvell..then you are just willfully being stupid.

That statement didn't read, he'll never get signed by any team in the NFL. If so, why didn't i put that in the first post...or the 3 or 4 pages before the quote you are pulling.

You want to make it a blanket statement, but it was never. I have never once said RM can't play. Why would i? Teams have injuries, etc. The thread was a "watch" thread. The point was when he would get signed. The thread was initiated by those who thought he was so good that he would immediately get signed.

You might wanna think a bit more before you selectively pull quotes. I guess context means nothing. I guess the reply to Fritz and his position means nothing. I'm embarrassed for you. It is so sad that you revert to this level of trickery to try and prove a point. :oops:

Best of luck to him.

[pbmax]

Error on my part. Patler had Ruvell's years of service correct, his laziness aside. Three full years '06-'08. Which makes no sense given that the contract number (just after his release) was $1 million on Rotoworld. Could he have been tendered at that level? I don't remember that. Perhaps that was the total value of a two year deal?

In any event, the Rams did not save themselves from an essentially guaranteed contract by waiting until after Week 1 unless Ruvell falls into some unknown section that treats him like a vested veteran after three years of being a great teammate. :lol:

Perhaps it was injury or they were waiting to hear from another player who WAS a vested vet? Or just that they suck on O.

I think Ty is winning this round on his Vikings statement, but is behind on points with Ruvell signed this week. It would make a better case for his opponents if the Rams weren't a Big 1(1)0 team on offense. We might get to see him go against Charles and Al if he sticks around.

The only one with zero cred is you. The first post of this thread sums up the thread...ruvell deciding where he would sign. This thread was started as a tweak at those who overrated him and were saying that he was just taking his time. I'm not going to mention who that person was, but it is out there.

I posted the conversation. Clearly, the quote you pulled was about the vikes. Just as the list i posted was in response to KC.

You are just pathetic in your attempt to frame a quote that was in context as a broad statement about Ruvell never getting a job.

PB is impartial, look what he wrote. Yeah, i'm sure he has an agenda....not like you. :oops:

Ty started a countdown thread about him to prove them wrong and did. Now, in a post of his I agreed that our receivers were overrated by us the fans and I mentioned Ruvell which reminded Ty about this thread and he bumped it.

After reading Partial's gotcha statements regarding VY and how we had treated him, Ty felt compelled to bump this thread.

Why?

Because Ty wants to acknowledge the greatness of Partial. Partial was right about Ruvell. Ruvell is averaging 21.7 yards per catch. That is clearly better than any of our receivers.

Course, we can't really be sure he would average that here, as he would have Arod throwing him the ball, not Favre.

How did we let this guy get a away.

3 catches this season PROVE it.
