For the $ spent on LBs this year, there was not the return.
This is about the succinctest argument I've read for why many of us are for dumping Barron even though he played quite well if not lights-out.
Rams had 33.6M (or 21.4%) of salary cap invested on LBs in 2017.This is about the succinctest argument I've read for why many of us are for dumping Barron even though he played quite well if not lights-out.
Rams had 33.6M (or 21.4%) of salary cap invested on LBs in 2017.
Second highest in the NFL.
Right now they have 38M invested in LBs for 2018. Without Barwin (who is a FA). Quinn, Ogletree and Barron are scheduled to count 34M. Massive financial investment in one position group.
For that type of investment, you must get difference making performance for teams to stay at the top. Rams are just not getting that from those guys.
The didn't get a great return on their investment.
Littleton has a ways to go. Good backup for now.
I dunno, not enough play time. I think he's just a serviceable backup IMO. He didn't really 'flash' like Quinn or Donald did their first year in the league. Time will tell.
I think Littleton Played well, but I would like to see Barron stick around one more year anyway!
Continual long term success in the NFL usually have 3 things in common: good coaching, good QB and good drafting.
You must draft well (and get good URFA rookies) to keep overall payroll manageable.
Littleton may or may not take the next step, but Rams need to find low-cost contributors throughout the roster. It is needed at LB. We can't pay 3 guys over 10M each per year, unless the group really dominates.
I wouldn't say that none of us know how to run a business. Not an NFL franchise, but I'm sure there are several here who either do run a business someone else owns or own a successful business themselves.Because Fans are unrealistic for the most part. No one really understands how to run a business let alone a football team. Including myself.
