This is a solid signing. Darling's better than any Receiver on the roster not named Bowe and could develop into a legitimate #2 with the opportunity.

This should also help us get the most out of Webb now that he has a real shot at breaking into the starting lineup. My money's on Darling, but having him here improves our pass-catching situation.

I'd still draft a Wide Receiver in the Middle Rounds of the Draft though.

18 of his 20 receptions occurred last year. Not amazing numbers by any means, but it sounds like he's starting to learn how to play in the league. We picked up a young 3rd rounder without having to give up any picks of our own, sounds like a decent acquisition. Granted he's not the big name we'd all like to see, but it has become obvious Carl won't grant that wish this offseason.

Anyone that can push the rest of the scrubs behind Bowe is what im all about. The guy didn't look too bad last year in his short time, i say atleast give him a chance cause we aren't signing any big name guy. I'd rather see him push the others out of the water or atleast make their game or lack there of better.

I have no playoff asperations. I do however have a desire for a speed reciever. Now we have 4 possession recievers(although Bowe is more than that) We need a deep threat. Hopefully we'll grab one in the draft.

I'm talking in general, not about darling (that's f*cked up to type)

in general, when people say 'good football speed' or 'plays faster than timed,' it means that they time slow, but don't play like it. chad johnson is a great example, as is jerry rice. they both timed in the sub 4.6 range (slow as hell for a WR), but both play/played in the 4.3 range

Agreed. Speed means nothing if you cant catch the ball or get seperation.

Alot of slower guys succeed because they can catch in traffic and know how to get seperation from defenders with quick cuts or beat a jam.

Thats a GREAT way to put it...can you change direction suddenly, engage-break free from DB's, twist, turn, leap, go over the shoulder & tap your feet...all while keeping stride & then make the catch???

Of course i'd like to see a 4.33 guy here that can do those things (& maybe this guy isnt so great at'em either?), but for now, a young, 4 year (proven to an extent) vet that comes in for the right $$$ is another shrewd, early move.

Exactly.

I am beginning to wonder about all the football experts on this board.

There aren't 4.3 WRs all over the NFL.

You need routerunners who can shake a defender. Jerry Rice wasn't a 4.3 guy.

He's a big kid. 6'2" or 6'3".

Devard is an identical twin, who's brother died at Wash St. due to overexhaustion. That has to create a fire within when your IDENTICAL bro dies. I bet this turns out to be a real solid pick up. Last time we grabbed an unknown Raven, it seemed to workout.

Sports Illustrated Article

Soul Survivor - Download PDF
By Gary Smith, Senior Writer, Sports Illustrated
Originally featured in Sports Illustrated, December 2, 2002


The golden helmet gleamed upon the pedestal beneath the foyer light. It stopped the boy as he came through his mother's front door. It held his eyes. He'd searched everywhere else. Why not here? Devard lifted the helmet from the pedestal and peered inside. After all, if the soul resided in the mind, and the mind resided in the cranium, and the cranium resided—during his identical twin's moments of greatest hope and aliveness—inside this golden Seminoles helmet…then couldn't it be here?

It might fit inside a helmet. It wasn't a complete soul, mind you. Just half of one. Devard and his twin had gone halves on everything their entire live—splendid arrangement right up to the day that Devaughn, pursuing their dream, worked himself to death. But now that Devaughn was gone…

Devard pulled the helmet over his head. He walked into the living room, then the kitchen. He looked at the newspaper. Patience. It might take a while to lure the half-soul back.
His mother and two sisters stole glances. It was an odd sight, a boy walking around the house in street clothes and a football helmet—heartbreaking and humorous and eerier all at once. But they were wise, and the kept silent.

He returned to the foyer—and froze. There, in the flash of the mirror by the bathroom door, in the glimpse of eyes framed by the headgear, he'd almost sensed it, felt it, found it. The mirror pulled him closer…closer…

He swallowed what rose in this throat as he stared at his eyes. He removed the helmet and returned it to the pedestal.

No. His half-soul wasn't in the helmet. He'd have to keep searching.

Science can't explain it. Now and then, once in about every 250 human conceptions, the fertilized egg splits, creating two distinct embryos containing identical genetic material. There's magic in this sudden duplication, a powder keg of psychic implications for the pair of children born. This was understood long ago and over there, where the ancestors of Devard and Devaughn Darling lived.

African tribes created rituals and totems to contain this magic—some even built fences around the homes of newborn twins. Some killed one or both twins upon birth; others rejoiced and made offerings. Some tribes buried a dead twin as swiftly as possible, or not at all, leaving the body sitting on a rock and then fleeing without looking back. The Yoruba, of Nigeria , sensed that identical twins possessed just one soul between them, and they understood the spiritual emergency when a child's double died. That's why they carved a wooden figurine for the deceased twin's half-soul to reside in, an object for the survivor to wash and clothe and feed, to reach for whenever he felt half of himself missing and needed something—God, something —to hold onto.

Somewhere in the clang of manacle and chains and the stench of a slave ship's lower deck, such understanding began to be lost. And so one day in the second month of 2001, as Devaughn Darling lay dying in front of his twin at the end of an off-season football conditioning workout at Florida State, Devard had to begin his search on his own, without figurines or ceremonies to see him through the trauma. On his own, amid a tribe whose principal ritual occurred in stadiums thronged with thousands of people worshiping strength and speed, youth and vitality. God only knew how he'd find his missing half-soul, how he'd keep his brother's memory alive, but it would have to be with a football.

long read but good!

A 3rd round pick with 20 catches in 4 years? This guy sounds like a Carl Peterson draft pick. I'm guessing that he's been considered a major bust by Ravens fans, especially since they haven't exactly had all-pro WR's ahead of him.

As cheap as the contract was, I don't think anyone can say this is a bad signing, but by the same token, I don't know how anyone can realistically think that he's going to be better than a #3 or #4 WR based on his 4 years of experience.

Actually this is a case where the stats can be deceiving... You say oh 331 yards and 3 TD in 20 receptions in 4 years.....

What I see is 316 yards on 17 receptions with 3 TD to close out the last 8 games of 2007. He does that over a 16 game season and you have 632 yards and 6 TD. Nobody but TG or Bowe put up anywhere close to those numbers.

We're not going to have an offense that produces two 1k yard WRs anyway.

What we need is to get guys on the field that are reliable enough that they can hurt opponents that double Bowe and/or Gonzo. That means guys that run good routes, have good hands and can make plays in traffic. I don't necessarily think they have to be burners to help our passing game.

I have no idea if Darling is that type of guy or not. I didn't expect us to get a flashy name for that job anyway, so I can't say I mind the pick-up.

IMO, our offense hit an all-time low last season and we still almost produced two 1000yd receivers (albeit not WRs). TonyG had 1100yds and DBowe had 995. I think we can all agree that the O has nowhere to go but up.

I think we will be even worse this year.

This is truly an incredible story. I agree that it is a must read.

With an improved offensive line, a healthy Larry Johnson and one more offensive weapon?

I can't see it.

Thanks, Gretz.

Do you get paid per post being a prick?

He came out as a junior and, by all accounts, wasn't ready. It looks like the light may finally be turning on and the Chiefs are getting him at the right time.

Agreed. Wholeheartedly. This guy could become something special. He's really just coming into his own.

I was thinking the same thing.

The exact same links, in the exact same order were used in a post of his elsewhere.

So far there are no signs of an improved O-line in sight. The draft may help. The way I see it, Croyle is still learning, we've released more starters then we've added, and we have an new offensive coordinator to get everybody on the same page. That's a lot of what ifs in my opinion.

So saying thanks, Gretz makes somebody a prick? You lost me at hello.

Sorry, but I see that person as a total homer and called him, Gretz, because the similiaraties are uncanny.

Perhaps, MIC meant that ANY line would be an improvement over last year....Unless of course Johnson will be our new LT....
