The players themselves certainly don’t see it that way. The unwritten rule is “don’t talk about another man’s money”. Everyone knew Donald’s worth. Hell Chris Long knew it during AD’s rookie year.
I don’t see it that way either. Teams can cut players before the “agreed upon” contract is up, or screw them out of incentives. But generally, fans don’t seem to mind that.
It is what it is.I’m not saying talking about players money as much as the effect holding out does.
As far as AD99 goes,didn’t really matter ? He wasn’t going to play in the preseason.Still I will say it did have a little effect just because he really wasn’t football ready that one season.Didn’t (couldn’t) play the full game.His rhythm with the defense wasn’t TOP NOTCH!! If I recall right.I’m not the biggest numbers guy,but I do remember some what of how I felt about it as a RAMS FAN.Had a open mind & let’s see.
Everyone on this forum has there own point of view.I respect that.I like giving certain posters more time(crap) than others.Hold them somewhat accountable or dig deeper on there thoughts.Then again just to release my opinion on things.
Mine will always be about going to training camp & watching year to year.I still have the same thoughts even back in St.Louis.There were some great posters.
I started on NFL network.Then they shut down.Then Stl Today.Posted to Nick,JT,Bernie & a few more ??
I miss a couple old posters from here.Bonifyram is a. Certain poster I loved to debate with.Going back to my first post here was sort of cool.
Just to think it was under Mcvay & going to a stadium in Carson(next to CSUDominguz .No one knew what Jared Goff would become as a QB He was 0-7 going into 2017.
Loyal was (is) excellent back in the day. Niner hater Steve was a bigger poster back then.
