Why in the hell would we trade for an old washed up out of shape player like McKinnie?!!! This is really stupid. We can't find someone better??!!!!
With Ireland evaluating talent? Nope.

People have been complaining that anything would be better than Clabo and that the organization would be crazy to not try and fix the situation with other personnel. Now they do and the move is condemned here.
I don't think Mckinnie is gonna be great, but it's gonna be hard not to be an improvement on Clabo. This could be a season saving move not just for the results at the line position, but also because its gonna gonna give the offense a little confidence boost and encouragement.
Don't worry, people will soon start to propose situational factors to explain his poor play in Baltimore, and the pendulum will swing the other way. :)People have been complaining that anything would be better than Clabo and that the organization would be crazy to not try and fix the situation with other personnel.

McKinnie played exceptional in the Ravens playoff run last year and was very important in helping get the Ravens a Super Bowl win.
That said, he has looked awful this year.
This is hilarious. We could have had McKinnie for free in the offseason. Now give up a pick for him when he isn't even performing much better.
Garner must be atrocious in practice.
This is a serious failure on Ireland's part. Just awful. Rolled he dice on the wrong guy, then trade for the other wrong guy. The only thing worse would have been trading for jake long, lol.
The coaches also get blame.
But hey, at least they are trying something!

McKinnie was done two years ago. The guy is lazy, parties all day and just doesn't take care of his body. The Ravens signed him late last year to make a run, partly at the urging of Ed Reed, who was a teammate of McKinnie's at the U. Somehow he managed to put together a very nice stretch run through the end of the year and the playoffs and the Ravens foolishly expected him to come into this year motivated.
Didn't happen. He was back to being done. And now here we come, with 2/3rds of the season left to go, expecting him to care. Unless he's a superfan who's always dreamed of playing for the Dolphins I wouldn't count on it. The guy is a big, immobile piece of slab bacon, totally unsuited to a zone blocking scheme.
Unless I'm mistaken he's never been an RT so I think this kicks Jonathan Martin over to the right side.
