The Official Ruvell Martin Watch Thread

[TravisWilliams23]

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.

If a divisional rival was the team making the best offer you be saying...."that traitor!"

You betcha!
I really was trying to emphasize Ruvell's class in how he handled the release.
It's refreshing to see that in today's ME ME ME players attitudes.
If the Vikes or Bears would have picked him up, absolutely I'd root against the guy because I'm a PACKERS fan.

What crow? I never said he would not get signed.

As for the other receivers....context. What was the discussion. THe list was in reference to KC. You might wanna go back and look it up....cause you just made yourself look pretty foolish.

RM got signed cause he is cheap.

Errr....I think you did.

RM ain't gonna be signed.

I'm sure you'll have something to say about that, but

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.

Enjoy the season. It's gonna be a barn burner.

Yes, i do. The context was the Vikings. Sigh, let's go and see the whole post:

No chance the Vikes pick him up. They already cut Bobby Wade and signed Lewis. They want their young WRs to get PT. Bears might, but not until after Week 1.


Should the current crop of receivers continue to struggle with adapting to Favre, Ruvell will be picked up.


Dude, it is far to early for this type of drunk posting.

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.

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.

Has Brent called Aaron yet?

Not only signed but signed above these guys:

Skyler Green

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.

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.

<snicker> You have zero credibility left. This was ridiculous. You could have preserved some dignity with "wow, missed that one, didn't I?"

[Chevelle2]

He's a Ram.

Best of luck to him.

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.

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.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

ruvell with zero catches.

However, team chemistry now off the charts.

[SkinBasket]

Laurent Robinson broke his leg against the Packers. Ruvell is moving up the depth chart!

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Bump for Ruvell's zero catches this weekend.

Team's around the league kicking themselves for not signing this guy.
