<title>Re: Rams | Ron Bartell could be released</title><link>http://www.ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?5,219027,219651#msg-219651</link><description><![CDATA[ Any chance he would take one for the team and take and redo his contract and take a paycut?<br /><br />Or at his age and with his injuries, is he going to cash in and then end up elsewhere?<br /><br />He has two years left on his contract at around 6.2M per, so maybe the CB thin Rams pay him and play him one more year if he can pass a physical.<br /><br />If I see Justin King out there again, I'm going to puke. He must be the son of nephew of Elvis Patterson, the CB of the NYGiants back in the late 80's that had the unflattering nickname of &quot;Toast&quot; bestowed upon him by his own teammates.<br /><br />I call King &quot;KFC&quot; because he gets &quot;Extra Crispy&quot; every Sunday.<br /><br />IDK who will be available as far as UFA's at CB, but Bartell might not be the worst CB in the NFL, even at 6.2M per season for at least this season until we can fill that position.<br /><br />Or we can just take RG3 and try to outscore the opposition every game because we won't have any money to spend on need positions.<br /><br />Is RG3 going to throw to himself?]]></description>

But I never was constantly screaming Bartell!!! while watching Rams games.<br /><br />Once again...with Williams, more blitzing and hopefully more heat...Bartell...can play a bit more physical and be better.<br /><br />I look for Quinn to break out this year.]]></description>

<title>Football Outsiders rated him #5 overall in 2010</title><link>http://www.ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?5,219027,219576#msg-219576</link><description><![CDATA[ Obviously he didn't play in 2011. I think you are selling him a little short. Yes he hasn't picked of a pass in a long time but he plays the position well. I agree that his contract needs to be redone or he has to go, but lets not make it sound like the guy is a stiff because he isn't.<br /><br />Here is the link to the article and charts showing success rate, YAC allowed and other stuff. Bartell shows well. He needs to be on the roster, at a lower salary of course.<br /><br /><a href="http://footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2011/best-cornerback-charting-stats-2010" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >CB Ratings 2010</a>]]></description>

He is an average corner, which makes him a commodity on the team with the worst record in the history of the NFL over a (the past) 5 year span.<br /><br />He's not that good, can't stay healthy and counts more than 90% of the corners in the league against the salary cap.<br /><br />Seems like an easy decision to me: If you do bring him back, make him earn his roster spot back AT A GREATLY REDUCED SALARY.<br /><br />Same thing goes for a lot of these bozos who I've had to suffer through watching lo' these past few (6) years.<br /><br />The Linny/Spags/BD era is over! Time to release some (high salaried) flotsam and start a new voyage in RAMS' history!<br /><br />Kevin P.]]></description>

I really like Ron as a person, but didn't think his Play warranted his Pay. For 7 mill a year (I think that's what he was paid last year), I think he should have been more of a difference-maker, rather than just &quot;solid&quot;. When was the last time he made an interception?]]></description>

Was drafted in the 2nd round and cant catch a cold. The man hasnt had an interception since 2008. Hell he hasnt had a sack since 2008 either. Its 2012. Great size and looks the part, has been fooling many around here for years with the &quot;P&quot; word (potential).<br /><br />Potential just gets coaches fired. Finnegan would be a huge upgrade. The NFL is a game of turnovers. When you dont do ANYTHING to get them, you are useless. Nice guy, but just not good enough to win with.]]></description>
