Nobody knew about them? I was well aware of them, only two years ago he was arrested for brandishing a gun, firing it & threatening his neighbor at his home inside the city limits of Decatur, AL.

Just this past November, the charges were dropped after he filed an appeal & settled financially with his neighbor.

So to say that no one knew, he was a ticking time bomb is ludicrous. Do I blame the Ravens, for taking a chance? No, of course not like you said he had all the potential but was an idiot.

If you haven't been keeping up, the Ravens drafted linebacker Arthur Brown from Kansas State. Brown's a good fit & I think he'll be a dandy, just not this year. I think they drafted Brown in hopes of him learning the game from McClain but obviously McClain isn't the ideal citizen, either.

I was just curious if you had any thoughts or insight as to what the Ravens plans were & your outlook on Arthur Brown. Obviously, not going to be able to filled Ray's void this year. The only free agent linebacker, that's considerable is Urlacher & I don't know if he's even a viable option for the money.

What NFL player doesnt have a gun charge on his record?!?!?!?

They all do it. Nobody knew that he had serious mental problems. The guy is a nut job, not just a criminal.

Ive mentioned brown several times. IMO, hes a decent linebacker, but no where near ready to step in that spot and play consistently. I hope he does, but it probabaly wont happen. I still believe Baltimore will pick up another free agent.

I would take Urlacher. I said that in another thread. If only for one year so Brown can develop. Hes worth a one or two year contract. This is still one of the best defenses in the league.
