Crowder's big mouth would've been overlooked if he was..ya know..a good player

I agree.  If he played half as good as he trash talked, he might still be a Dolphin.

That's what's so funny.... he talks trash like he was the second coming of Lawrence Taylor on the field!  You would think from the way he talks that he was a beast!!!

He was a marginal player on his best day. No pass coverage skills whatsoever. Decent enough tackler, nothing special.

Another case of on a bad Miami team for years, yeah he started. Put him on a decent team and he is a back-up if he makes the roster of a few teams at all.

Completely agree. I'd go one further and say he wouldn't have even stayed a Phin as long as he did if he didn't have Zach mopping up all his missed assignments. -EK

It's very telling that the Dolphins cut him and no one picked him up.

No doubt. He's not good enough to be in the league, and he still won't shut up. Guy needs some perspective. "I wouldn't choose to go back there and play." Really? Cause... Well.... It's not really like that's an option for you is it? -EK

At least we know we won't be signing him back.

It's funny, I seem to remember quite a few on this board thinking maybe he was the "glue" in the defensive unit after this past seasons disastrous 0-7 start.

Not to mention just about everyone on here rips Ireland for the same things Crowder pointed out.

I always saw Crowder as a solid player. Not a game changer but still seemed to be pretty solid.

(not seeing this thread earlier,and viewing it as the last thread been posted in the section when viewed on the forum home)

I thought Channing had Died...

My comment on the thread,

Crowder,Blah,Blah,Blah...and you arrrRRRE? Nobody worth listening too...IMO

I thought he died too when I saw that.

Who cares how good Crowder was, point is, Ireland's a douche.

He was offered by a lot of teams, he turned them all down. His wife was 8 months pregnant and he wanted to be with her. While I won't defend Crowder, that is why he didn't play last year. He did have a bunch of offers though. Chicago, Philly, Buffalo I know went after him very hard

+1

I could care less who said it.....his point is one I agree with.

I don't know whether Ireland is a good person, but I know Channing Crowder Had 33 tackles in 2010.  He sucked and I'm glad he's gone.  I said it then, I say it now.

No one offered him anything as far as I know. Where did you hear this? The only thing I read from reputable sources was that the Pats worked him out, then showed no follow-up interest. -EK

He "surprisingly" retired just days after being released. I say surprisingly because that's the word I remember. He announced it on the radio and no one saw it coming. If I rember correctly he made up hid mind in while in New England and informed them. I don't think there was time for anyone to make an offer.

He had minimum offers from the Bears and Philly as well as the Pats showing a lot of interest and they gave him a physical. Before NE could offer him anything he retired,. With his wife 8 months pregnant he didn't want to move her or leave her in Florida by herself while he moved across the country for the season. So he "retired" and said he might return in 2012. And just this week he said he wants to play again. So, he is a man of his word, gotta give him that.

Those are the facts

I can't find anything saying that the Bears or anyone else offered him a contract. I call shenanigans. -EK

You always do. Believe what ya want. I don't have the energy to convince you of what happened. Because I really don't care about Channing Crowder or this topic all that much.

I can see why you would say that, but you're usually good about having something to back up what you're posting. I spent an hour trying to find something- ANYTHING- saying anybody offered him a contract at all. Couldn't find jack, but found the Pats thing multiple times, which leads me to believe that no one actually did offer this idiot a chance to play. I don't really care if you're right or wrong for once; I'm honestly curious if anyone can substantiate this claim, as it would likely give some idea if he will be picked up this year. Call it my basic curiosity. -EK

If you spent an hour on this, you need to get one of those whaddaya call it...um.. a Life. :D

No... Cause.... What had happened was... -EK

In a sort-of related update, apparently the Falcons are interested in him. -EK
