In all your honesty, what is YOUR idea of "doing enough to keep Bruce". You want to be logical as well. Think about our situation with the cap. He had to be sacrificed, but it's not like the Ram's straight up dumped him on the street.

Don't quote me out of context. I said there is no right and wrong when discussing the pros and cons of keeping or cutting Bruce. Once again there are valid points on both sides.
Of course I'm not happy he's a whiner. Do I hold it against him, no. He did what he had to do, just like the Rams did.
Sure he could have stayed, I never said he couldn't. The Rams could have also paid him the last year on his contract. Again there are valid points to both sides.
I haven't avoided any of your questions. It's quite clear that I think the Rams should have paid him the last year of his contract. I know what the cap situation is. The Rams owed him 5 mil, they offered him 3 mil, so we are looking at a 2 mil difference. The Rams could have asked some big contract guys like Bulger, Holt, Pace if they would restructure to make up the 2 mil to keep Bruce. Nobody knows if the Rams asked anyone or not, but that was an option. I mean it's not like the Rams never asked Bruce to restructure right?
We have Holt with a chronic knee problem, Bennett who can't seem to stay healthy, and not much else. So again I think the Rams should have found a way to pay Bruce because we are thin at WR.
This is going in circles. The bottom line is you think the Rams made a good decision and you think Bruce should have taken another pay cut. That's your opinion. There are some valid points for that side of it. I think the Rams made a bad decision, they should have paid Bruce what they owed him. That's my opinion. There are also valid points for this side of it. So it's simple, there is no right and wrong, we agree to disagree.
