Ah, I see we have another fan who demands instant success from very young players. :redcard:
Glad you made these comment & here's my thoughts ....In today's NFL, I found that drafted young players who play different positions do have different expectations when drafted & these players should begin to contribute to the Ram team.
However, there are always surprises too.... right?
Some rookies come in the NFL with 3 or 4 full NCAA seasons worth of experience others have very few starts of experience. Some mature faster & some are slower to arrive where they need to be mentally or physically.
From my long history as a NFL fan (over half a century) even a low watt brain like mine believes young players who play certain positions like QB/ OC/ OG/ OT/ NT/, DT & MLB'ers will
normally take a bit longer to produce on a constant basis than players who play positions like RB/ WR/ OLB/ ER's/ CB/ Safeties/ Kickers/ Punters.
In the above discussions, I believe we were commenting on just the Rams ER/OLB position, not in general terms on all positions. That's a position where I think we as fans can
normally expect some production early in their careers.
Question???....What is your definition of the word
instant that YOU used in this situation dealing with NFL players?
Do you think I am being too harsh & wrong to expect too much @ this point from OLB'er like Ebukam who has experienced 2 OTA's, 2 training Camps & 2 pre seasons plus played in 32 & started 16 NFL games?
In discussing 2 of the 3 rookies OLB'ers who have been participating with the team since early OTA's Training Camp, preseason & now 17 weeks of the 2018 season is way too early to determine & make appraisals on the potential of them if they have enough skill to produce as a starter?
