Jim, Jurecki reported this on KDUS.

 

[SweetD]

IS this offical? I can't find anything, don't want a Kordell thingy again.

 

[EndZone]

It was on ESPNews.

 

[Jim O]

Here we go again and again.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! If we only had Boston for him too throw deep too, Blake will use the speed of our WR's properly, No more underthrown balls!!!

Now the Boston loss hurts even more. Finally someone who could throw the deep ball to him effectively.

ESPN.com has learned that free agent quarterback Jeff Blake, who played last year for the Arizona Cardinals

I didn't know we had Blake last year. Why didn't we use him. O-Well BLAKE

Three year $7.5 million, fairly reasonable.

WOW! Can that be correct? That is dirt cheap!

It is correct, per KDUS. And, get this, it's FRONT LOADED. Tell me, when was the last time we front loaded a contract? Blake will get 3.5mil the first year. That means the door is still wide open for McCown and anyone else we pick up to take over next year.

 

[Dback Jon]

That is great - more that I hoped in one day!!! Three thumbs up!!

 

[red desert]

Let's trade up to Houston's draft spot and take Suggs, Kennedy, or Rogers - any of the three would significantly upgrade and fill a dire need.

 

[Ed B]

Dirt frickin' cheap.

Dirt cheap.

And we can cut him fairly painlessly if we have to.

Terrific move.

 

[Russ Smith]

Awesome, and at a very fair price to, 3 years 7.5 million with only 3.5 in caphit this year.

wow talk about a big splash today.

 

[General Chaos]

I say we either trade up for suggs, or trade down for more picks.

 

[AZCB34]

So yesterday, the end of the world was upon us and today we see again!!

As many of you know, I have been calling for Blake for months now. I only hope he can play at the level I expect he can...which is better than Jake. The loss of Boston does hurt with this signing but I would imagine there is something more up the sleeve to get some weapons for Blake to throw to.

Not equal to Boston but how about we approach CHI about trading for Robinson?

 

[outcent]

I just hope he will be the steady QB he has been(not great but not bad). As long as he keeps his INT's down I will be happy. I can see us pounding it out most times seeing as we probably want to keep our D off the field.(pretty obvious I know)

 

[MadCardDisease]

Finally, a QB who has more TD's(119) than INT's(80). What a novel concept!

And for that price, way to go Graves!

As a Ravens fan I have had the misfortune of watching Jeff Blake play. He sucks. He blew the Ravens last game, what imbecile has a smile on his face while the team had just been eliminated from the playoffs?? On top of it, after the game he goes up to Bill Cowher and HUGS THE GUY. How would you guys feel if he hugged Mike Martz if they just eliminated you guys from the playoffs?? Sad person. Sad player. Bring back Kent Graham!!!!!!
