I love the guy but if he was asking for too much money I would have been fine with the cut. I don't think he was asking for too much, and I think we are thin at WR and we need the leadership that he brings. So that's all about business and the Rams, not about that I love the guy. I think the Rams made a mistake, the Rams don't. Some here feel it was a mistake, some don't.
Who hates the team because of this Bruce move? I know I don't. Don't lump the people who think cutting Bruce was a bad business move in with the person who said he quits and he will root for the Bills. That was an isolated incident. Just because I think they made a huge mistake doesn't mean I'm hating on the team. We made a huge mistake drafting Lawrence Phillips, I was mad, I knew it was dumb, but they were still my team then, and they are now.
I already get it's not the St Louis Bruces. I always have. I was a Rams fan before Bruce was in High School. For me it's always been the L.A. and now St Louis Rams. My point is I think it was a bad business decision period. That's been my stance since it happened. When we cut Bruce the first time is when I started preparing myself each offseason that he might not be here. This was the year. I was already prepared. I still believe the Rams screwed up and made a mistake. Do I hate them, no.
Moving on is great, it's only been a week though. Bruce is going to come up a lot throughout the year just because of who he is to us. There is no avoiding that.

RB, I agree with your point on the value he would have brought to the Rams, if he would have stayed. His leadership would have been invaluable, not to mention it does leave us a lil thin in the WR dept. But the FO feels different & for some strange reason I'm ok with it. It would have been great to see him play his whole career as a Ram, it's just not in the cards. On top of that the offseason is still in full gear & there still may be a surprise or 2 coming at us we don't know about, which will make this whole thing a lil easier to swallow.
