Absolutely

3.1 yards per carry in 2013. He could save 50000000 children from a burning building and I'd be pissed if the Pats signed him.

One off year does not stop an RB

One off year and 2 years off and being old as hell for a RB might...unless you're Tim Hightower or Ricky Williams.

Also, if he could play, he would have been on a team mid 2014 at the very latest. Hardy and Galette did way worse things.

He wasn't 2 years off after the first year, obviously, so let's not go moving the freakin' goalposts. Donald Brown put up a 2.6 ypc two years ago, yet he's still in the league.

Cant believe peope still talking bout ray rice. His decline was apparent well before the domestic abuse. Ravens built a statue for a murderer, if rice could still play he would still be a raven

If Rice hung a 1200 yd /50 catch season in 2013 he would absolutely be playing now- maybe even for BAL. He wasn't making the quick cuts like he did and he lost that burst. Hes a smaller RB so the wear and tear finally caught up to him

Ya I guess. I only know because someone I follow on twitter posted about it.

They are #1 rated show in Boston and i am amazed..but then again will be on the ballot so nothing with these people surprises me

 

[crownontherocks]

Do you guys seriously think he's been out of the league because of that incident and not because he was garbage the entire season before he punched someone on tape?

Yes. Absolutely. He may not be 1# back anymore but i think he could still be a backup for a team.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

Is he a starter? I hope so.

Pretty sure he was their best DB last year..or one of the best

Bold Prediction:

Mark Sanchez will have way better numbers than Manning did last year as a starter... in fact, if Sanchez plays 16 games and you hand picked X number of those games to match Manning's and picked the worst games.. his stats would still be better

You're high. Mile high.

But correct. How could he not be better?

New bandwagon dream: Trade for Martellus Bennett

His cap hit at 5 million is a bargain for 2016 considering the deals Allen and Fleener received. He's 29 years old and a top 10 TE in the NFL. The Bears just resigned Miller and are looking to trade Bennett.

Wonder what pick it would take.

Let's go Bill!

 

[Ring 6]

Call me when we find an OT, WR and TE.

Ring ring

Wait a second...... Wait ... We aren't supposed to do this well in March.

better numbers, maybe, but there's a huge drop-off in D recognition and audibles and things like that - they matter.

 

[slash83]

Only way this off-season could get any better is if Brady wins his appeal.

 

[1960Pats]

They tend to be quite slow in upgrading a prospect's stock well after other boards have raised him up. My advice to others is to read Draft Scout/CBS's board in conjunction with another's like ESPN or NFL.com.

Blasphemy!

In Rice's best year he averaged 5.3 ypc, identical to Donald Brown's.

While playing with Baltimore, Rice's ypc averaged out to 4.3 ypc, identical to Brown's average with Indy. In Brown's two years with SD his numbers went down.

Ray Rice has just about twice as many carries as Brown in about the same amount of years.

I think it's clear that the NYJFL and the 32 have decided they aren't letting Rice back into the club. It's all about the integrity*
