I’ll support any decision Rams make, of course, but I think other moves would have more positive impact than acquiring McCaffrey.
He’s a fabulous player when healthy, but therein lies the rub. He’s too often hurt. That’s the deal breaker for me. Cap hit can be worked around, I know, but another great RB at high cost riding the bench doesn’t work for me. Too many recent Gurley memories. Been there, done that.
Besides, this O could thrive with a ‘good’ RB. I’m assuming that this OL gets healthy, of course. It doesn’t need an elite RB. Get a solid RB for insurance for the rest of this year. One without injury history, please.
Want to invest in a near-elite player? Invest in an Edge. Or maybe a TE or an interior O lineman. Any of those would provide dramatic boost for playoff chances.
