You've already stated that you don't agree with VB assuming the Rams' side.

And you say these writers are doing just the reverse, assuming the AD side.

Which is what I said they were doing.

So doesn't that put us in agreement?

I disagreed with your premise, really.

You said, most of that panel talk as if. the Rams haven't been negotiating with Donald and haven't made him an offer

I didnt see them doing that. I see them as not being as automatically pro-management as VB tends to be.

But we do agree that there are different views on this. I just tend to stress that the facts as we know them right now simply don't support choosing between the different views. As I am fond of saying, we have no way of knowing which is right, or if they both are, or if neither is (for some reason).

So I don't complain about the pro-AD take because I see the whole thing as being a range of different takes, with no real way to choose among them. I dfon't complain about VB's take either, though I do disagree with those who seem to see it as the Only Plausible Take (IMO it just isn't).

So it's hard to make a real, fact-based judgment on this. Though...like most discussions about contracts I have been in since 98, many people will still have strong views, regardless. Nature of the beast.

So I don't see them acting as if the Rams haven't been negotiating. I see them as assuming? concluding? claiming? that the Rams haven't done enough to sign AD given AD's market value as best defender.
