It's the way the NFL operates today. Same-o same-o. I don't like it... but it's what the collective mass of the NFL has evolved into... owners and players alike. Neither "more" guilty.. they collectively brought it upon themselves.
donald will play, duh. Some will say he lost something by not being in camp, duh - and some will say say no he didn't, duh.
To be honest, if there were one position I'd say has the 'least' impact by holding out it's the DL. Oops, said that wrongly. It IS a factor... it's just that for the Ram's it's the least important factor. - JamesJM
Do you remember when Brooks and Youngblood held out? 1980. I actually remember it.
So that adds to our sense of the timeline. Sometimes you can go, where were you when the Rams beat Dallas in the playoffs? A sense of the history. Or Sometimes you can go, where were you when Dickerson held out? What about Faulk? Some day, our grandchildren will experience hold outs of great Rams players who may not even be born yet.
