Jamalisms Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Fisher doesnt need Britt to keep losing. He has Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh to assist him on that. boom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyitsmeallen Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Fisher is a joke. He will be in the bottom of the nf west a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I think we should consider offering Miles Austin a similar deal. He's a real talented guy but has just had a nonstop slew of injuries, though nothing serious, at least to my knowledge. He could provide a big return on a one year, "prove it" deal. I didn't know he was still available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOTT Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I haven't seen any mention of a bonus. If there is none, he costs them nothing if he doesn't make it through camp. That would be a smart move. You all knew someone was gonna do something like this. Were it the Titans many of you would be saying the same thing---right?

freakingeek Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Britt deserved another chance. He wasn't a bad seed like Pacman. He was just an immature dumass but he was a good kid. Whether or not he will get over the knee injury is another story. Either way Fish was smart to give him a shot. Not much risk involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Britt deserved another chance. He wasn't a bad seed like Pacman. He was just an immature dumass but he was a good kid. Whether or not he will get over the knee injury is another story. Either way Fish was smart to give him a shot. Not much risk involved. Thats how I feel about it. Sure, he burned his bridges here but cmon, this was an immature kid who did some stupid shit. He got in a bar fight, too many traffic tickets, a DUI, and he smoked weed. Yeah, there's some red flags there, but this isn't a violent kid. He's not smacking up women or firing off guns. He's only 25, this contract is worth it for the Rams.

N/A Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 With new coaches who might want to see what Britt could do in their system, I wonder if Titans tried to get him in a deal like this but he would not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzyeddie Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Britt is low risk low reward...who really thinks he's going to become a dominant receiver again. It's not like he was a cast off at Tenn. He was given opportunities to work his way back into the line up and he failed over and over again. I would still rather look for guys that at least play to their potential with the ability to step it up a notch. Britt just sucks and even if he does improve he will most likely only reach a level of becoming a player that can contribute to his team. and even worse he looks the part and has what appears to be all the tools to be dominant...so he has a good camp and a good pre-season..none of that matters. Is he gonna catch the ball when the real bullets start flying. So to say that it is a no lose situation is bull shit. You sign him to your team and he craps the bed in the fourth qtr. of a close game then you lose. But when you are the Rams and your looking up at the rest of your division I guess its worth a shot to try and catch lightning in a bottle cause that's your only chance. Especially when your head coach is Fish. I guess then the real question is can Britt catch the ball somewhere around the 35 in the fourth qtr to set up a long FG try. Not like he's gonna have to come down with it in the endzone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsntLifeFunny Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I doubt they're going to rely on him in the fourth quarter very often, unless he starts to show he has his head on right. There is no doubt in my mind that KB was on his way to being a top ten WR before the injuries piled up. He looked to be headed in that direction when the hammy hit him. And he was there for 10 quarters before the ACL. He'll probably never have the same explosion, but I still think he has the potential to be a very good WR. I think the massive majority of his problems are mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like he's gonna have to come down with it in the endzone. I certainly understand this negativity given the past lack of performance for Britt here. You may be completely correct that the ceiling might be simply a contribution rather than an elite addition. I do, however, think that he is young enough at 25 to reassess his priorities and refocus his remaining skills to contribute at a higher level than you seem to believe. We will see. I hate that he failed here, but hope for his sake that he will shine in a new arena. pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE75 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It sucks that he couldn't overcome whatever was bugging him mentally enough to at least be a good receiver here for us.Sure he didn't have to same explosiveness but he would've easily made a nice number two or three receiver for us.Wright,Britt,Hunter,Washington could've been a good set of receivers here had Britt got over his issues.There were reports that a few of the players quit on the team and weren't playing up to their potential and Britt was one of those guys.I do think if he gets his issues straight he can be a solid receiver for some team.Maybe Fisher can coax him out of his rut he has been in the last couple years.

Apocalypse Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I think the physical thing is overblown. The little Britt did play last year, he was getting separation. He just needs to stay focused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Britt's problem last year was that he couldn't catch a damn thing. No real downside for Fisher on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
