Rams WR Depth

We don't know that for sure, and I don't feel it's fair to other players in similar situations to say that Brycen was spoiled or didn't love football. Unless it comes from Brycen's mouth or the mouth of his father, I won't say he was spoiled by being a rich kid - lest we say that other players in similar situations (All-Pro dads and rich from them) were as well without proof.

Was he soft? Yes, he was; that much, we can confirm by how he played at Purdue and in the NFL. Saying that he was spoiled and didn't love football enough as a result isn't something we can confirm, and I feel that it demeans other players in similar situations.

The fact that McVay never put him on the field until he had to, and the fact that McSnead preaches that they want guys who love football, I will deduce that he wasn't successful because he didn't want it bad enough. It wasn't a talent & skill issue. It wasn't off the field issues. So what else was it?

And again I never made a comment that other players or all players in that situation do the same.

Hopkins was softer than a baby sea otter's ass on the field because that's who he was.

Hopkins failed because of his lacking traits, not because of whom his dad was.

Let me add that I agree with your above statements. However, he had the athletic traits. He didn't lack size or speed or hands. He lacked interest & competitiveness. I drew a conclusion as to what likley contributed to that. Thats all.
